I want these to go in the breezeway between the house & the garage. Can these be rinsed off with a water hose as often as needed?

Yes. We have done that a few times just don't leave them in the sun to dry because they will curl

They are definitely washable. However, the water will collect underneath them as they don't form an air tight seal and could possibly rot the floor boards. I just wipe them down with a mop and/or rag.

They do become more absorbent once you wash and dry them in machines, however, I do think you can just hose them down as you suggested. They just won't be as absorbent.

No Problem...These don't take much airflow to be effective. I use to use the same setup and was never at a loss for spray. Good Luck!

you can easily pull the mat out of the garage a few feet and squeegee it off or turn it over or mop it up inside the garage.we have even used a shop vac. it does require a little effort but it is much better than the water running all over your garage. we have had no problem with any water getting off the mat.

I would soak them to be sure. Rinse afterwards & let dry.......... Works well & won't come back !

Well I'm not sure about that. They are not the best idea to use indoors as there will be moisture which can cause mold. I'm using it as a cheap outdoor vent. Sliding the hose and lint trap out my sliding door on the deck ouside. If you use it indoors be sure to wipe down the moisture left behind. And clean the lint trap after every use.

i have run them through a gentle cycle once just to clean them before use but i would still handwash them to be safe. they are small so it shouldnt be a burden

You probably can, but I would not. When I cleaned my dryer vent, there was a lot of wet lint. I disconnected my dryer hose after running the sweeper and used a leaf blower to blow it out.

You can. They are like thin, stretchy socks, so if you have an agitator post in your washer, these could get hung up.I usually just put a little dish soap on them and do a quick scrub in the kitchen sink every 2-3 rides, and make sure they are laid out to dry in the heat after a ride.

I don't see why these wouldn't work outdoors...they're lightweight though, so you may want to weigh them down or bring them in on windy days. I never washed them in the machine, just sprayed them with vinegar and hosed them off and left them outside to dry.

No, these need to be kept out of porta-potties. Although they may over time bio-degrade, in the short term it would make it very difficult to clean out from a porta-potty. Would likely clog up the hose the folks use for cleaning the porta-johns.

They could be washed but they wipe clean so easily that's its not really necessary to wash them. I've sprayed them off with a hose before. After 5 years they look brand new -even with 4 kids-

I do not see why you would need to since they are made of nylon netting, like the type used in shower puffs. You rinse and hang them to air dry in shower after each use. I suppose you could put them in a wash bag then put them in a washing machine, but not in the dryer! They will melt.

The hoses are used to vent the AC out the window. I'm not venting mine though. What good is a portable unit if it has to be by the window? I haven't had any problems by not venting it, so I don't plan on doing it in the future.

My unit is on a second floor breezeway and only gets minimal exposure to the elements. So far I have had no problems. I can tell you that Schlage customer service is very professional, helpful, and accessible. You should call them.

Only if they are removable. . . otherwise wipe down with soapy cloth then rinse off. The new models clean very easily.

I would not use them for that. You need something that air will actively be pushed thru.
