Can this thing be washed if say...a cat pees on it?

Sorry about your bad luck on that! Yes you can wash it but I wouldn't put in a washing machine with agitators and definitely don't put it in the dryer.

Probably, if it happened to me I would try it with cold water on gentile cycle and expect it to be fine.

Try a pre-wash spray of white vinegar on the spot, then a gentle cycle wash. I've washed dust and bird **** off mine that way.

Ours hasn't yet been washed but as it's 100% polyester with some PVC (i.e. plastic) in the base, I would think a cool wash would be fine.

I would imagine it would take care of the smell. I had a bath rug peed on and after throwing it into the wash with only the fizzion sprayed on the spot, it didn't smell or have any hint it was soiled.

I have used it in the laundry, but not without adding soap. I don't know if you could leave the soap out or not. When I had some clothes the cat peed on, I added a splash of this to the load and washed as I normally would. The smell was completely gone. This is awesome stuff.

The Flopsie Cats can be safely washed in a pillow case with a rubberband at the end to secure the cat inside.Then to be safe, air dry fora day on a cotton towel.There are many how to guides on the internetto assist you. :)

I used it for my baby piggy and it was very absorbent so I don't see why it couldn't be used for a cat!

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!

My cat is like that too. LR won't clean it, but the walls wont get extra dirty either. There will be urine on the wall, that's all.

No because DON'T BATHE YOUR CAT. They don't like it. Don't be a bad cat owner.

Yes! We wash ours. We take them off and wash and then my husband puts it all make together . We have three for inside. The cats love them. For outside cats I use a regular heating pad but I should really get a heated house for the outside ones. But the outside ones have shelter in the basement.

It's not that easy to clean because of the texture. Easiest way I found is to take it outside and spray it off with a garden hose and to use some kind of neutralizing agent (Nature's Miracle or something like that) to neutralize the urine so that the cats don't keep just urinating on the mat instead of going into the litter box.

I have two cats I use it on! No baths for them! But, I'm sure you could as I look at it! Hope this helps!

you can wash it anyway you want. I have already washed mine. It did not hurt it.

No you can't wash it. You can wash the outside cover which is cotton but has some kind of conductive thread in it. The actual conductive side of the mat is plasticky. You could wipe it clean if you wanted or clean it with soap. The non-conductive side if soft rubber foam which eventually peels off completely.

No, my pet repeller does not need to be washed. My dog does not put his paw on it. I had this for one year

My cat threw up in his once too. It can be washed by hand and hung up to dry.

No, it's not designed to be washed. It will also start falling apart after the first wash.
