What do you wash these in to get rid of doggy pee odor? I have tried lots of detergents but no luck yet.

I never had that problem. but I put a pad in them and throw them away. you have to change them often though or they will get infection , like you have to keep a baby dry

I use a small panty-liner pad in it. You may as well. I have only occasionally had an odor. When I do, I use white vinegar on it to kill any residual orders. Hope this helps in some way.....

I think it's worth a try. You can also try to put a shirt with your scent on it into the crate. We rubbed the snuggle puppy and a blanket over his litter mates and neither have been washed yet. ( he's 5 months old)

I just used scent free detergent (I am allergic to scents). However, if you use fabric softener or dryer sheets/chemicals, it will reduce absorbency. I made the mistake of putting them through the wash and then adding a dryer sheet and it took two washes to get them absorbent again.

I know this sounds weird, but it works! Put all your diapers in the washer and do one rinse cycle. After it's done add 2 tbsp of the blue dawn dish soap and do a hot or warm wash cycle. Then rinse them 3-5 times after that. Your diapers probably just need stripped =)

I trained my now 10 year old dog to do this at about 7 years old. It sounds gross but when he peed outside I soaked some of his pee on a paper towel and swabbed it in the ugodog. Then when I knew it was about time for him to pee, I would take him to the ugodog and say, "go pee pee" which is what I used to say to him outside when he would pee. And then I would give him treats when he would pee on the ugodog. He's been really great about it ever since.

These are nice for poopy diapers, you can put the diapers in these bags on the go and they keep the smell enclosed. I'm sure they would do the same for dogs if you need to. Standard doggie bags do not have the odor control these bags have.

Thank you for your question Elizabeth; here are a few tips:1) Remove excess stain or pet urine first, utilizing a highly absorbent towel. 2) Apply a generous amount of pet urine stain remover to the affected area and allow to stand. For tough odors, both carpet and underlying pad must be thoroughly treated. Allow to stand 60 min. 3) Fold the towel and lay it on the treated area allowing it to absorb the excess liquid out of the carpet pad.4) Once dried, inspect, and then vacuum the treated area. If stain and odor remains, repeat the above procedure.

We use them a lot with stray cats and wildlife--I use unscented laundry detergent, and throw them in my washer on a regular cycle-sometimes, a gentle cycle depending on how many I am washing-I use a warm/warm or a hot/cold water setting-then I dry in the dryer, no scented sheets or fabric softeners and I set the dryer on a gentle or no wrinkle--they dry really really fast so keep an eye on them, if not I air dry and it does not take long--they come out a bit softer but clean and just as insulating and warming as before. Hope this helps youPatricia

I haven't run them through the washing machine, but I did hand wash them in a diluted bleach solution. It worked just fine, and the stink went away. My mom actually has a pair. She hangs them from clothes pins to keep them open, and they seem to get less stinky.

Fizzion absolutely does work to remove the pee smell. Perhaps the pee got between the boards and they are still smelling it? I soak the area and wipe it down, then soak it again and let it stand for a while. It might smell worse for a bit, but when it's dry the smell is gone. We have some naughty boys who also like to pee on a few fav. places. Fizzion doesn't say it will stop them from peeing, it says it will clean it up. Dogs pee once and they are done, a cat will remark a spot to be sure other cats know it's "theirs". Very irritating for sure! But all we can do is clean it up and get rid of the stink.

Plain water will still get the job done but I have on occasion used a drop or two of Dawn dish soap depending on how muddy their feet are. I'm sure dog shampoo works just as well if not better.

Go to a pet shop and buy OUTRIGHT enzyme urine remover. The trick is to saturate thoroughly making sure to get it wet all the way through the foam. Cover with a damp towel for 24 hours. Let the foam air dry, preferably in the sunshine. If the stain still smells, turn the foam over and repeat the process.

I use laundry detergent and Clorox bleach. It does not harm the pads and the pads smell fresh after I wash them. The Clorox bleach takes away all odor and the washer is also left clean without any odor. I put them in the dryer too without any odor or problems. They dry very fast.

I wash it in the laundry room sink. Discard any poop with poop bag. I rinse mat with watm water to remove excess urine. Then plug the sink and fill 2" with hot water and add laundry detergent. Any cheappy brand. Let soak while I do a chore. Rinse off thoroughly. Hold on side to let excess water drip(rolled up). Then lay grass side up on top of rag on top of washing machine to air dry. I have a few grass pieces to alternate. The dogs dont do their business on a wet pad. I put wee wee pads under grass to hasten clean up time. The grass keeps it consistent with outdoor pottying.

I wash these on hot with bleach and dry on medium. I do two loads of 6 pads a day (I use for my 2 small dogs that are pee pad trained-I change the pad each time they are used). They are just now starting to start to have the tiniest bit of moisture spot through in a few spots. I rotate through about 14 pads, some are older than others. The newest 4 were purchased 6 months ago. I only noticed wet spots on a couple of the older ones...

They're not good for poop only urine. These have a hole for the tail that's large enough for therm to poop. I haven't seen any doggie diapers for poop.

Every night when I got home I removed the pads, wiped it down with Nature's Miracle if anything had soaked through, and let it air overnight before puppy had access to it again; I never had a problem with lingering odor. If disinfecting with your preferred cleaner (Lysol, bleach or vinegar) doesn't work, the odor is in the pores of the plastic and it's time to toss it.
