What about sanitation issues? After the sheets are taken off, aren't you supposed to sanitize your table after each client? How do you do that with the fleece pads?

If you're sheets are on top of the fleece pad, covering it, which I would recommend. You then change your sheets after every client, there really wouldn't be too much of an issue seeing as no ones body would be touching the actual pad or the table.Occasionally you could check the pad and clean it if needed. But I work at a local business and we don't have to clean ours often seeing as it's always covered and protected by sheets that get changed regularly. Also, we double up the bottom sheet (so there are always two fitted bottom sheets) but we only change the top one after every client and only change the bottom as needed.

you wash it. (thats what I do) or for multiple uses you can give a light pray with a hospital grade disinfectant.

What I have found to keep them clean, and thus longer lasting is to: 1. use clean water on the pads before application. It also helps with the connection during use. 2. Put the pads on the white storing unit. 3. If you are using the two set unit, like I do, also use the clear plastic that you pulled off the pads to store them back on. Don't worry about the paper on one side, it does not adhere to the pads.

Just throw thwm in with your other sheets. Hot water, soap & bleach if u want. And I also use fabric Softener.

Rather than chance damaging the table "top" I always leave a thin sheep skin pad on the table first. The electric blanket fits just fine over it. My clients love the warmth of the sheets.

Hello...I believe the pads are there to protect furniture from scratches from the ceramic. I am not 100% certain on this but I don't believe it's for a defect. Hope that helps!

Washable fabrics are usually best washed before use, to remove any chemical residued used in the fabric's manufacture. Being a linen tablecloth, it is likely to get a bit wrinkled in a wash load and may need a touch with an iron when dry. I used the tablecolths that I bought straight out of the package (folds and all) because they were bought and used only as table covers for our business. Washed before use or not, I would think that the folds in the tablecloth could be removed with a light ironing. If you don't own an iron, sprinkle the tablecloth lightly with water and run through your clothes dryer and that should remove the folds as well.

It doesn't really get all that dirty;there was just ice water in the tub. You can rinse it out or use a clean cloth. You'd want to occasionally clean the pad too but that's easy as well. I know how two machines as the hospital billed me for one ($900 I kid you not). Anyways if you want to buy one little used machine for $20 plus shipping I'll just send it out (assuming you're in the U.S.)

I would use one of those scratchy cleaning cloths first, then oil it well. Heat it some to help it sink in. Afterwards only clean with water, swish out the food with the scratchy pad, dry, re-oil and you should be good to go.

Wash when it looks dirty (like with a towel, no fabric softener). I have several, tossed in drawers, glove compartments, and desks. No special care is needed, however, if you drop it in the dirt wash before using.

I cleaned them in the tub with warm water and an earth friendly dish soap I purchased at costco. Then I ran the shower over them to rinse and laid a towel over them and an kind of rolled it around to get excess moisture off (help keep clear of spots) then air dry for a bit. There are ways to sanitize also, but I haven't done this as it makes me a little nervous. U can dilute a tiny bit of bleach in water let soak, rinse and air dry. If measured accurately it's supposed to be non toxic. There are also sanitizing solutions you can buy. At least one website with information is the fisher-price.com search cleaning plastic toys. I hope this helps. I cleaned them in the tub with warm water and an earth friendly dish soap I purchased at costco.

Hello all,As a seller of these pads we recommend that you wash and dry them prior to use. They will fluff up once put through a cycle which will help with some of the minor issues you might have. Thank you all for your purchases. We truly appreciate your business.

Proper cleaning and storage mainly. Keeping them free of buildup that can erode the pads. I clean the. Pads of mine once a week and then lubricate the pads with a tiny amount of baby oil. Also store them in a place they won't catch on anything that could pull or rip the pads.

The dish cloth that I used last night was still damp this morning. This is not a concern for me as I use a clean one each day, but if you use the same dish cloth for a couple of days, I can understand a concern for bacteria growth. I often include these dish cloths as gifts and everyone loves them.

We use a yard of fleece on top, a bath towel under the fleece, and the bottom layer is newspaper. The towel prevents the newspaper from sticking to the fleece and also absorbs waste along with the newspapers. It seems using either fleece, or shavings/bedding material, is a personal choice - whatever works for someone works best for them. We started using fleece with this cage - it's cheaper and very easy to clean. We have two yards of fleece so one can be washing while the fresh one goes into the cage.

I had to add my two cents worth here. I had this happen when I tried the dog on new food. We now refer to this as the PoopyRoomba. It could be a dance or a country you visit on an exotic vacation. I killed the electronics when I cleaned up the mess. (I am in healthcare and nothing is too gross for me to tackle). It would make sense for Roomba to "sequester" the electronics so that you could clean the darn thing more thoroughly without taking the risk on frying the electronics. Of course, soupy doggy poop is bad stuff! The Roomba in question was two years old so.....

Yes ma'am. I would wash them every month + every time you put something new in the canisters. With cookies & tea bags, my advice for you is to put a paper towel on the bottom of the two. That way you wouldn't have to worry about sticky messes or if one of the tea bags busts open. You also want to make sure with how often you clean them keeps pests & rodents away! You wouldn't have to necessarily WASH just wipe down with a wash cloth.

I always put some paper on the tray to protect it from poop droppings. If I need to clean it I use hot water with a drop of antibacterial dishwashing soap and give it a good wipe with a washcloth. You may alternate using warm water and vinegaer solution to clean if you prefer. Hope this helps. Good luck
