Hello, as this Uhaul fabric is quite thick and made from recycled denim, can you tell me how long does it take to dry, machine or air?) And on the Uhaul website (section Questions ans answers) the company says that they do not recommend machine washing that product. I am a little confused. Can you help me unserstand. Thanks.
Nice bathroom hay bag. The holes are to big! The holes should only be big enough to eat hay from but not big enough for them to go inside and piss it up
Thanks for this great video!! Today I finished 3 cage liners and about 8 pee pads... One of our pigs has skin issues and is losing hair. We were spending a fortune on paper bedding, and the vet recommended Oxbow, which is the most expensive!! $$ And their cubbies were STILL staying wet inside. I had fleece and purchased the u-haul pads. These are great!! For the price of one bag of new paper bedding, I made all these, and your tips were so helpful. Until her skin clears up, we're changing them daily. I only wish I made these sooner. They're super absorbent and dry on the fleece. And sooooo easy to change the liner...just pick it up, brush it off and wash it. The one's you buy on Etsy and other online sites are terribly expensive. Perhaps I should go into business and make some custom orders!! LOL! ;-) Thanks again and have a great week!!
Love this video. I used to sew all 4 layers together and then flip them inside out. This technique is faster and neater. Tried it out today and will do it this way from now on. Thank you
Thank you, thank you, thank you for talking about needles and tension needed for sewing thick fabrics. I have spent hours watching these videos just to find that information. Really appreciate it.
The bottom facing floor should always be waterproof. Use Polyurethane Laminate Fabric facing the floor. Otherwise your floor will get ruined Otherwise the rest of the design is great for Puppy pads
Hi, my Maltese is 16.5 years old and is incontinent. At the moment he is wearing belly bands which is very expensive I was considering making him pads to wear. Would the recycle denim work or would it be too thick or even indeed be too heavy. I live in the UK - I’m trying to locate this item. Thank you for your video.
You can use an old cotton pillow case, velcro and a female sanitary pad to catch the pee. There are other tutorials in RU-vid on how to make them. Good luck! #teamfrostyfaces #seniordogsrule
Chewy.com is where I got Angel "Diapers" but she hates so bad to wear them and they're such a pain to get on her but they are cute and washable and for this reason and not the ones for a female cycle. If you weren't in the UK, and needed "Small" I'd send you 2 packs of the first ones they sent because they sent the wrong size. I am going to hold on to the Medium for when she can becomes incontinent. Right now, the meds she is on for heart failure just makes her have to pee a lot so she uses the pee pads but so expensive.
Hi. 3 years ago almost 4 I saw this tutorial since from 2 shih tzus I went to 5. Buying disposable pads was no longer an option. I just want to say they are still working and washing them is a breeze. Wash it in the machine and in the rinse put in vinegar. I love them and am making more as we speak since im moving to a bigger place and will need more. Thank you so much for this tutorial. It has saved me thousands of dollars.
@@adriannamalawska3089 Thanks for the tip. I'll try Zorb. It's to make a bed for my elderly cat who pees on the windowsill where she now lives, as it's above the radiator, but her aim is not good, so her bed gets wet. I cover a piece of foam with plastic bags and then layer puppy training pads over the top, but I'd prefer to make a few of these pads in the video, and wash them.
Anna Albury I used to use puppy pads for my Guinea Pigs but I’m trying to go more zero waste and Zorb can be reused for many many years it’s been great so far. Good luck with your cat xx
Yep! A friend of mine with a senior dog who had bladder problems has a couple of these set up on top of cut out squares of shower curtain liners and they work great for her!
Hi, I noticed that there isn't a backing on one side. Do you think that would help? I'm trying to protect wood floors so thinking fleece, furniture fabric, vinyl. Maybe less slippery as well. Thoughts?
Hi, there. Thanks for this helpful video. Using a ball point needle was news to me! How many stitches per inch are you using in the part of the video you discussed putting your hand on the fabric to keep it straight as the foot feeds the material through? It seems that's always a guessing game for me when stitching pads.
have you tried the clips instead of pins? I have them but havent gotten around to using them. just been doing the towels with smaller fleece blankets but I have the Joan's materials and the waterproof liner for beds and diaper material for the middle. j need some uhaul I was going to try this bumb blanket you get at Walmart in a roll but I don't know if it will absorbe after the pea goes threw the fleece. if not, I hope I can use it for the outer liner fleece if it's not too cheap.
Great idea! Keep the EARTH cleaner! I use it for 5 years already. Soaking it for an hour (Washing soda and a little bit of Castile soap), then rinse it in cold water and wash it in my washing machine. Thank you, great video!
Hi! im considering doing this for my bunny litter box. may i ask you, how do you dispose of the soaking water (with washing soda and castile soap) after you are done soaking? can it be used on plants at all?
alarcon99 we need to do some research about it, because I don’t know. The best use of it is to dump it in your toilet, great cleaning bust. Then I pour it on my brick pathway in my yard. Good luck. I used adult urine protective sheets, cut it into 4 pcs. $15 are lasting me for 5 years. Good luck!
@@amillia222 wow! thanks for your quick reply! im considering using a combo of these with pine equine pellets for my bunnies litter boxes. ive been using puppy pee pads but i hate to think of what im doing to the environment. but to be honest the eek factor of having urine leak through and washing them in my washer was a big turn off. But between your presoak method and making a diy washer machine w/ 2 buckets and a plunger, im all set! Thanks again luv!
So I need some reusable pads for my cat. (Sometimes he goes in front of the litter box for some reason, so as even it was recently scooped. I want to make some, but I don't have a sewing machine. Can you suggest an easy to use machine that isn't too pricey?
Hey if your fleece is cut at 13x13-- does that mean you cut the uhaul to be the 12x12 so it has those edges ?? Anyone else tried this and know the uhaul measurements ?
@@cavylover8243 thanksnfor clearing that up for me.... I figured that to be the case and went ahead and did it that way. I was trying fo hand sew and it was taking 4 ever so I ordered a sewing machine. Thanks for taking the time to make this video. It really helped a lot !
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I saw a lot of others liners tutos on RU-vid, and to be honest I decided to follow one of these first... What a mistake! I don't know why I seemed to be the only one having this problem, but sewing 4 layers of fabric turned inside out was just impossible for my poor machine. So for my second attempt, I followed your tuto. So. Much. Easier. I actually enjoy making these now and I can't stop xD Thank you!!
