How Do I Wash My Pads?
- Wash in cold or warm water. Hot water can be used, but can shorten the lifespan of the pad.
- Wash in large enough loads (ex; with towels) in order to provide enough friction to be cleaned properly.
- Hanging to dry is prefered but machine drying on warm is fine, dryine on a hot setting can damage or shorten the lifespan of the pad.
- Pads that have been rinsed and rung out should not stain white clothes.
- Pads become more absorbent over time!
- Get help from the sun! It is a natural stain remover.
!!Warning!!
- Wash Pads before using them for the first time.
- Do not use bleach, fabric softener or stain removers (such as Oxyclean). These can reduce the effectiveness and lifespan of your pads.
- Do not wash and dry pads at a high temperature, this can impact the lifespan of the pad.
- Hot water sets stains. Once stains are set, they will be difficult to remove.
