Cleaning & Care

Caring for your cloth pads is simple. Follow our easy step-by-step instructions to ensure your Ecopadz will stay in great condition for years to come.

Cloth Pad Cleaning & Care

	After use, separate the inserts from the holder, if provided. Pantyliners do not have inserts.
	Soak in cold water, if desired, to help prevent staining. Use the presoak function on your washing machine, or soak in a covered rust-proof container. Change soaking water daily.
	Machine wash cold using a natural detergent and tumble dry low or line dry. Do not use bleach or fabric softener. You may hand wash pads if desired.
	Remove pads from dryer promptly and store flat to eliminate wrinkling; use cool iron desired. Store your pads in a clean, dry place until next use.

Avoid using detergents that include fabric softeners or whiteners as these can inhibit the absorbency of your cloth pads. We do not recommend the use of castille soap, facial soap, or other soaps not intended for textile laundering. Excess detergent may lead to buid up, which can limit the absorbency of your cloth pads. While we have many customers that use homemade detergents with great success, cloth pads laundered with homemade detergent are not covered under our warranty. Full warranty information is available here.

A note about staining: Soaking your Ecopadz in cold water or pre-treating with an enzymatic cleanser immediately after using are two simple ways to prevent staining. However, light staining does not indicate that your laundered cloth pads are not clean or sanitary!

To clean your Ecopadz Carry Bag, simply wipe the bag with a damp cloth or machine wash cold, then air dry or tumble dry low.
