You can easily take off the cover and wash it. I have done it twice already.

It's really simple to take off the cover and headrest cover as well. Just unlatch the shoulder belts from the bottom/back of the car seat and you'll be able to slip the straps out of the slots on the cover. You can machine wash and use low heat in the dryer but I had to hang it up and dry to get it very dry. Hope this helps!

short prewash with vinegar and baking soda works excellent to remove urine smell, then wash as normal they come out super clean

I have this cage and love it. It keeps everything clean and I keep our bunny, Clover, in the hous. However, I have a question. Now that we have had it for a while, the litter grate has build up from the calcium in the urine. How do I get this calcium off the plastic/acrylic grate? Does any one else have this problem and what is the solution.

Its just like any Camelbak or other bladder. Best advice is to empty it, and if it's going to sit for a while, roll up some paper towels to keep the mouth open and "wick" the moisture out.

I'd contact the manufacturer for information. I emailed them once when I was having problems getting rid of the smell of dog urine on a wooden post. They responded quickly and the advice worked.

They sell this stuff at pet stores called Bitter Apple. I think you probably would be also able to find it on here. Just spray a little and it makes it bitter and dogs hate them. But I hope it won't deter them from peeing on the pads. I used it on furniture legs, corners of the wall etc when my baby was alive. RIP Annie..... :(

I just use soap and water. I was it out right away and make sure it dries completely. I'm sure some kind of cleaning solution would work hopefully...

I try to wipe it down daily. Usually it's just the small inner ledge that gets dirty, not the part that the cat stands on. I've never seen any urine spray from outside the toilet, but occasionally a little piece of poo here and there (I have no idea why, though). No matter what, it's way better than cleaning a cat box once the cat completes the training.

The biggest pain was washing them - we kept a bucket of water and dropped the soiled ones in, then machine washed inside out with velcro fastened. Eventually, we went to baby disposable diapers and cut a hole for the tail. Had to pin those shut though. The things we do for our fur-babies!

Yup the whole sections pops out and my clumsy 20 month old cna take it empty it in the potty and put it back after momma washes it :). Liquids pour out super easy from the back if that makes sense. Solids yo ukinda have to shake em out a bit if they are stuck to the bottom but they find their way out! I usually wipe with a baby wipe then rinse in the bath tup with a spritz of soap for solids or just quick water rinse for pee. There is a sort of built in channel so you can empty from the back of the potty (once that section is pulled out) , it's hard to explain but when you come to empty it it makes sense! I've bought 2 of these and while light weight they are still pretty sturdy and haven't been damaged here yet. The white one gets a little dusty sometimes but a wipe wipes it off well. and my son doen't usually pee out, the pee guard seems decently high but he can get on/ off easy. We've bought 2 (they were on sale under 10$) to have one in the car for traveling and one in the house.

Hot! I also add 1 cup vinegar and 20 Mule Team Borax. This removes odors. I've been using the same pads for my guinea pigs for 2 years. They get washed about twice a week and look almost like new. Don't use fabric softener or they won't be absorbent.

First I'll hose it down and dump out any urine. Then use dawn dish soap and a little bleach and fill it to the top with water. Let it sit for a bit then hose it off again. I suppose it's small enough to also clean in a bathtub for apt users. But would require to clean the tub afterwards.

My lab doesn't have a urine problem but he slobbers and licks his feet enough to wet the outer cover and I have never seen it go thru the inner waterproof cover. I have recently bought waterproof duck material to make another outer cover (Cooper (my lab) also chews the corners out of all the covers. Other than my "dog's bad habits" I have been very pleased with this bed and he loves it! Hope this will help in some way!

Suggest the usual to start, i.e., dish detergent and sponge. If NG, use Barkeepers Friend Soft Cleanser gently w/a sponge. OTT, probably best to replace it. U can apply some auto wax on the new one, should keep it clean for a while.

Throw it away in the trash. I know your next question, "isn't that as bad as using disposable diapers?" to which I'd answer, "yes." However, the amount of urine that each pad soaks up is quite impressive, and even with two cats I throw out the used pad maybe every three days, so that's not too bad. When I scoop the poops daily, I turn the pad tray from front to back and only throw it out when it's really ready. There's no odor. Hope this helps!

You need to use a wet rag. If they've been left on longer they'll be harder to wipe off

I went to Menards and purchased 18 inches of their astro turf indoor outdoor carpet, and then cut them to the size of the pet Zoom or potty parks that I have and use regularly. I put them into a pillow case and throw them in the washer, but I don't dry them, I let them air dry. They stay more intact, and the washer cleans them thoroughly. For every day I just pick up the poop with paper towels, and dump the pee in the toilet from the tray. I spray the mat with 1/2 strength vinegar then with plain water to remove the residue. but the Washer really cleans them well, and doesn't destroy them.
