I have ordered several fleece throws from amazon to use as liners and i will purchase a few u-haul pads to go with it. I have spent several weeks lurking around the forums yet still did not come up with the answers i was looking for. So, here are my questions:
I have a coin-op washing machine that costs $1.25 per wash and another $1.25 for drying. So i am looking at about $10.00 total to wash and dry the fleece throws in order for them to wick properly. Is there any way around this? I do not have access to a regular washing machine and the coin-op one is the only one available.
Second question. After the fleece throws are properly wicked, Do i need to also wash the u-haul pads or can I use them as is?
Third question. When i sew the fleece to the u-haul pad, Do i need to add a third layer of fleece to it or would the two layers be enough to withstand washing?
Forth Question. After the wicked fleece and u-haul are sewn together to make a cage pad, Would it be possible to be able to hand wash a dirty pad instead of throwing it into the washer every week?
