Query: Difficult to clean

I bought this scale for a small animal exam room. From the picture, I couldn't tell what the circular designs on the platform were. Ability to disinfect is of prime importance in my setting. Since other animal care groups said they loved the scale, I figured the circular 'designs' couldn't be holes. They are. The platform has 4 separate circular 'designs' composed of full thickness holes to the bottom of the platform. This is extremely unfortunate. As you can imagine, hair, skin flakes, flea feces, etc all falls into these holes, as would diarrhea, fungal spores, products of a sneeze or cough, etc. To disinfect completely between pets one must use Q-Tips. I don't know what other animal care facilities that 'liked' this product were thinking unless these holes are a new feature. This would be OK if you were buying this for home use but not in a facility that sees multiple animals and requires cleanliness.
