why do they have to be "soaked"?

It expands the little crystals inside. If you try to freeze it before that you'll just have cold granules inside that won't do anything for you.

They come completely dry and flat. When you soak them they absorb water; they also leak sometimes. I wasn't pleased with them.

Sp the gel pellets in side the squares can expand in the warm water and freeze. I don't know how else they would freeze.

They're basically like an absorbent cloth square in the center, at least that's I can best describe it.

I guess you want to treat the diapers like you would a baby's diaper. If your pet goes in them (even though its not soaked) I wouldn't want to reuse them.

I'm not sure, I just go out with a soft broom and push up to get the water off. It's pretty easy. Even my kids do it and stand underneath just to get soaked:)

We've washed some of them as needed. But as Kelli commented, be sure they dry out completely.

Nope, not waterproof. Some people like them because you can wash frequently, but some people prefer waterproof as well.

I usually rinse mine out each time to prevent build up! It only takes a second. Maybe you do not have it tight enough.

Probably not recommended but I have put them back slightly damp. I shake them repeatedly to get most of the remaining water out of them.

No - they are mostly dry when they are removed from the washer - there is no need for it

i agree with the prevoius response. It is always preferred to have your water in the proper balance before use. You should try to maintain this throughou the season.

No, they are a knit material and water will penetrate. You shouldn't have wet hands, either.

yes, no problem. What you need is some humidity, or every week, soak them in water.

I haven't washed mine yet (hmm, maybe I should do that) but I see no reason why it can't be soaked.

No, they aren't. To clean them soak them in soapy water or rinse them in a strainer

They're so easy to rinse I don't know why they'd need to go through a dishwasher. I've never had a need to do more than rinse, but my guess is it'd be ok if nothing was touching it.

they are not waterproof but the moisture doesn't soak through quickly if subjected to some water. i haven't submerged them in anything so i can't speak to that..

They're advertised as such, but after I ran mine through the dishwasher water became trapped in the bottom (in the rubber non slip piece) and gradually leaked out making a mess in my cabinet. After that I hand washed them.

It will cause the top layer.to become sticky why still wet. Why would anyone want to use bleach.
