Preparing Soaker Pads & Boosters * Wash hot with detergent, tumble dry 5–6 times before use (they will continue to gain absorbency with more washing). General Washing * Remove as much solid matter as possible. * Place soiled shells and soaker pads in a dry diaper pail - * No soaking necessary. * Wash every 2 days on warm with detergent. * Hang dry shells (high heat causes excess wear). * Tumble dry soaker pads and boosters. * Do NOT use bleach, enzyme cleaners or fabric softeners.
