I don't have profleece, I don't think, but I think they are all the same for washing.  I do mine on the woollen programme normally but a hot wash when I have a litter although that may well shorten it's life.  I don't use biological though and I tumble dry for shoftness when it is a litter bed.

In my experience the white lasts much longer :)  I think the dyes damage it somehow and really it's not such a bad think if you can see it's dirty is it? ;)

I have profleece and the original vet bed.... and both go in the machine at 90 when used with pups (60 at any other time).... yes the vetbed does come up a little better re; wear and tear... but the profleece I'm using on this litter have seen 2 previous litters and 3 years of washing, still looks good and still doing the job it's meant to....

I have profleece, I change it two or three times a DAY when I have new born litter and give it a full 60 degree wash

I still have my pieces of Pro-Fleece from litters 4 years and almost 6 years ago, I use them for my old girl who's incontinent so they are all washed at least once a day and come up well.

white is excellent as you can see any blood spots should there be a problem plus it encourages you to put new pieces down every few hours to keep it all clean looking!!:cool::cool:

yes that is true it does look really fresh and clean

I've recently used profleece for the first time.  I bought 8 pieces so I could change 4 times a day, and didn't realise just how quick it dries.  I don't tumble dry, just put it on an airer, the 4 pieces I wash one day, are always completely dry by the next.  I put it on a 40 degree synthetic wash.  Mine is all a very pale grey and shows every mark, which I like really, I want to know if there is anything going on.  It will be used again for my litter born today, and it does look as if it will stand up to a good bit of washing yet.
