How often do you need to remove the pads and wash them?

I wash them after one use. I do the floors daily and one pad can cover the whole wood floor area. About 1500 square feet.

I only remove and wash when the pads look really dirty. I always vacuum good prior to cleaning the floors so my pads do not get that dirty often.

Use your judgement. If you have kids and pets like I do,then every time. I recommend purchasing a spare pad since after washing they need to air dry.

It all depends how often you use it. I'm currently using the original pads and I use it weekly . It just needs washing and it's good as new .

I have had my bissell for 2 years and have same pads - I wash and bleach on HOT water cycle. Let them air dry - and do not use any softner or dryer sheets if you dry. They may look kind of dingy (cause they clean so well) - but they still clean as well as the first day of use.

No, I just washed the pads as instuctions state, after use. Then put them back in original packaging, and kept in fridge. Refrigeration isn't necessary, but its soothing. Hth

How often to change the filter depends on how much oil you use and how many times a day. If you only use a couple of drops a day then it should go several months. If you are applying drops several time a day, then I would change it more often. My husband has the unit so I'm not sure if you can wash/ rinse the pads. He only uses one scent and said he never changed the filter the whole year of school(9 months). I think its an individual thing, I just wouldn't let the pad get soggy with oil as it might drip or leak.

I just take a wet cloth and wipe it out several times. I do that about once a week.

I bought mine about a year ago and the pads are still going strong! The device comes with two pads; just need to wash and air dry at least once per month or more often depending on soil levels. Hope this helps!

I wash mine with shampoo and conditioner about every two to three days. That way they don't get oily.

Hi...yes the pads are washable & my guess is their going to last for awhile as they are pretty strong and durable. I did buy extra's because I have a lot of floors to clean and didn't want to be cleaning the whole house with just two pads. I am still very happy with my machine... I hope this helps.

I have changed mine about once every 3 months however I'm using the same fragrance on each pad per fan but I don't run mine every day, probably about 3-4 days a week for about 8hrs each time. If the pad starts getting dirty then change more often because the fan is pulling up air through the bottom and if pad is dirty the fan doesn't work as well. If you are refilling the same fragrance oil onto pad every 15-30 days then you probably will have to change pads during a 90 - 120 day period because after awhile the pad gets sticky. I use pure essential oils since they last longer and have a more pure scent. Love my fans!

Poo hasn't been difficult to remove at all and I don't use a liner. Neither does my daughter with hers. All I did to break them in was to run them through a sanitary cycle on my washer. If you don't have that cycle on yours then I believe the directions say to wash 5 times. I dry them on a low setting on my dryer too. My daughter's diapers are the kinds with the inserts, but I like these better There are two flaps that lay down in the diaper that are attached so you don't have to fool with removing and sticking the insert back in

yes, pads are washable. I washed my numerous times they are looking almost new after wash - do not put pads to dryer!

The best thing is you get a new pad with every refill bottle so with several pads I can change it when it gets dirty from each time I use the machine. You just throw dirty pads in washer and they are good as new. Rule of thumb... The cleaner the pad the better when washing your floors. It's not so much how often in time but how dirty is the floor and how large the area.

Use spray and wash on them and wash them separate the pads only, no I havent noticed any smell. I do however normally beach out the washer once a month anyways and run it on a cycle to clean it even before I starting using the pads. I hope this helps

I would wash them in the sink with soap and water. I wouldn't take the chance of ruining the gel pads in the washer with all that agitation.
