Using these Drymate potty pads is easy. Just place them in the area where you want your dog to do their business. Make sure the waterproof and slip - resistant side is facing down. After your dog uses the pad, check it. If it's soiled, simply pick it up and toss it in the washing machine. Use a regular cycle with mild detergent. Let it dry completely before using it again. Remember, these pads are for dogs only. Don't expose them to sharp objects as it might damage the material. Store them in a dry place when not in use to keep them in good condition.
