why is pad turning yellow
752664
It's probably just hard water stains. Mine started to turn a bit yellow and running some water with bleach through it for about 20 minutes fixed it. If you try this, be sure to run plain water through it at least a couple of times afterwards to get all the bleach out as I can't guarantee that bleach won't damage the materials that it is made out of.

The pad starts off colored blue and when it is spent it is entirely white. For continuous use it will last several hours.

Sorry, I cannot answer to your problem, but want to add that I cannot get yellow on my printed papers, and from the day it came it has been this way. Our HP printer has been wonderful all these years until the ink cartridges were no longer. Does anyone have any suggestion?

Im not sure I am the best one to answer: I have not used this every day. But I have sometimes rinsed it in hot water or washed off the pad with soap and water. I have not replaced it at all. It is doiing fine for me. If worried, I might clean it with a stronger detergent or maybe rinse with alcohol or something. I guess if it got too grungy I would replace it, but that has not happened so far. As I say, I may not be the best person to answer this question. In any case I am happy with it.

Hello, did you have any luck getting a replacement pad through the warranty? Wondering if it's worth it or not to contact. Thank you!

+Yes. Once the pad on turns white (has a white dot or white bloYes. The pad is considered done/used once a white blotch appears on the center of the pad. The pad will continue to be effective until than. I find I get about the same amount of time for the "cell" as I do for the pad..(about 12 hours of use).

Just email or phone the company that produces it. Just find it again on the net and it will give you the address and phone. They are exceptionally great for customer service. Just had to get a new pad, no questions or hassle, just sent replacement ,at no cost.

Use Hot water, NO BLEACH and NO SOFTNER!They might still be stained looking but they are clean! I love mine--I did have to buy more about 9 months in. You can get the pad through Amazon. Hope this helped!

I thought mine had died, too. Then I realized that somehow the on/off slide on the cord connecting it to the computer was on "off" I'm sure you are smarter than I was but it has allowed me to enjoy my pad for years! It has been a wonderful product used daily. Hope your answer is just as simple!

I have used this ink system. My prints have not turned to yellow. The problem could be contamination caused by the printer. The excess ink goes into a well below the head and it could be picked up when the head resets. Try doing an extensive cleaning of the printer. I am assuming that the printer being used is an Epson R2000 since this is what I am using with the CISS system installed.

Yes I had the same problem, but as soon as I told Amazon customer service about it they solved the problem, by sending me a pad.

Yes, it retains it's thickness and comfort, But, we have noticed a dark stain appear. I called the company before I ordered the pad and they told me that they pre-treat the pads for mold. So, I trusted their word and ordered it? As of today, the stain isn't any worse. I am just concerned because this is a known, and commomn problem with memory foam.

I have had one and it turned yellow in about 3 months. I now have a second one, which has been holding ground since last month. Apart from discoloration, this is the best out there.

It probably is a mold buildup. The warmer pad should be taken out and washed regularly. I had two so that i constantly had a clean one available. The pad is in the warmer to add moisture to the cloths. So that i hope I'm making sense: the pad is just sitting in a warm box and it's wet. So the more often it gets rinsed out the better. Hope this helps.

You can contact the seller about the problem and they'll send you a new better pack for free. I had the same problem and the new pads are amazing
