I'm doing a photoshoot for shelter dogs to help them find homes. Last time a dog peed on my backdrop...Is this washable/bleachable?

I would say yes. The material is just like a bed sheet. Hot water wash with bleach should do it. Ironing will be required after, for wrinkles. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can wash it and have done so. Bleach it? It is white, so I assume so, but I never tried it.

We did after our cat peed on the bed. No problems at all with removing the cover. It washed and dried beautifully in the machine. Re zipped and back to bed. We took care of the mattress itself although not much pee seeped in. Thank God.

I don't know. I thought you were supposed to wash it. I would not put it in the dryer. I have another puppy play pen where the floor is vinyl and much easier to take care of.

Margaret, it looks black on the screen. When I bought 3 of them 2 yrs ago all 3 sizes were the color of the current large dog picture, teal. They were sold at PetCo at the time for $21 each and were only available in teal. I see the small dog picture now is royal blue. Regardless of color, these wash awesome, hold most urine, are inexpensive compared to anything else I seen. There was velcro closure when I bought and elastic the whole way around the perimeter except where the velcro is. I couldn't be happier with the product and am still using them occasionally.

No need to wash out, although I used Q-Tps to remove dirt and grime. Your dog is going to shake when you ARE DONE SO USE LIBERALLY!

I wouldn't wash it. There was a slight odor but if you set it up and let it air out for a couple of days, it does disapate.

I use Barkeepers Friend to clean mine. It gives a nice bright sheen to it, I must say though that mine has not gotten discolored neither inside or out. Good luck!

D S glembin' s idea (posted here) on how to position tub might work well and would b nice during winter time. However, I would still be worried about bathroom getting dirty from doggies shaking off water from their fur, the bigger the dog, the worse.

Haven't washed it, yet. Usually wipe it down with soap and water (shampoo) and set it on patio to dry.After your experience, I may not use washer or dryer. Oh, once I used Febreeze, but my dog is sensitive to smells. So I use her shampoo to wipe it down.

Sorry - I cannot give you an accurate answer since I do not have a pet. What I can tell you is that after you do a couple loads of regular laundry, you will notice some lint collecting in the snare which might keep the dog hair from going down the drain. Wish I had a definite answer for you.

No. Actually just yesterday I had to take it to the laundry mat. Also, if you have animals, it attracts hair and didn't release most of it during the drying process. And some of the puckers have come undone. But it sure is pretty!

I'm sorry but I don't know as I've only have my Pet Puppy Dog Playpen for about 2 months. I have washed the bottom twice now and did put it in the drier without any negative consequence.

No. It has a hole for the tail and will not catch poop. But I know a woman who can make you cloth diapers with Velcro. You just put a maxi pad in it and then dispose of them and the diaper would be washable. All she needs is the measurements of your dog and cost of materials. Those work very well. I have a few.

i found this thing does get pretty dirty (with dogs) but i just wash foam filter and bang out the cartridge. i rinsed it too a few times and let it dry for like a week. all around still happy with purchase.

The top comes off and everything can be taken apart. I recommend using an all purpose cleaning product and lots of water in the bathtub. Rinse well. For stuck on urine scrub with an abrasive sponge. It can be deodorized with a spray from the pet store that is intended for small critter cages.

I first put a little onto those little cosmetic cotton rounds that I use to remove make up. Now I just use a paper napkin or paper towel or whatever is around. Any paper product seems to work fine. The trick is not to put too much product on the paper napkin, cotton round or paper towel so it doesn't get too saturated. This way, there's less risk of the product getting into my dog's eyes.
