some of these type covers are not made of a material that is "cleanable" meaning they absorb the urine moisture and odors. How is this one?

I haven't had any problems in this area, but my litterbox has high walls & back. I have another different box downstairs that I lined with clear contact paper which works great for any accidents.

I didn't want to have to deal with cleaning anything else up, so I put down puppy pads around the inside of the box incase my kitty missed her box. It has worked like a charm.

I have had this for a few months now, the top is easy to clean. You can just wipe it down. The inside I haven't really had to clean but it seems to be the same material. I would recommend this, it's nice and heavy and doesn't look cheap. I wish I would have gotten one sooner!

I have had this for a few months now and so far, there hasn't been any issue with odor absorption.

I as impressed by the materials on it, really. It has a very smooth service that is very easily cleanable.

It is painted wood. I have a bath mat under the litter box to catch sand and messes that is washable. Haven't had any issues

I haven't experience this. It seems to be cleanable, and I haven't had any smell problems. I did purchase a small air filtered I installed to help when they have bigger messes.

The seat cover is made of a soft plastic with a vinyl-like backing. It is very thin and would not protect against wetness on the seat. It is pretty much an easy way to cover the entire seat (sides included) rather than using the standard toilet seat covers or toilet paper that do not stay in place.

We've not had a problem with the bed absorbing odors. In such a case, it might help to also buy the inner liner to protect the foam. The bed cover is washable, but now that it's winter, we've put a fleece blanket over it to protect it from wet paws. It's easy to just throw the blankie in the wash once or twice a week. Maybe that would help with an odor issue as well. The bed really is well made and comfy!

I am not sure what you want to know, but I can tell you that I take the cushion, which is vinyl or rubber depending on which one you get, and I use it in the bathtub since it is waterproof. I have never tried washing the cover, other than wiping off the odd bit of chocolate that falls off my dip cone when I'm driving. My cushion and I are inseparable.

I dont think it is waterproof I have an older dog who sometimes urinates in her sleep and when it has happened when she is on the couch it has gone through the cover and onto my couch I now keep washable puppy pads under these covers for this reason as they are waterproof but not very attractive

This bib is very wipeable, but I wouldn't call it waterproof. It's like a laminated canvas material on the front and retained odors like milk badly for me. I also think my daughter didn't like the stiffness.

Mine has been in my car since I've had it. ( purchased both car and cover within weeks of each other). I've never noticed a smell. They are washable, perhaps you could try that.

it is some kind of pvc, very durable, slight smell, that dissipates. Not as bad as some!

I know this doesn't quite answer your question, but we've been using ours for 10+ months without a cover and we've been very happy. The surface is waterproof and very easy to wipe clean; ours has remained stain-free. A cover that's made of something like cotton will require laundering, etc.

As others have stated, there is a cotton quilted side that is absorbant and the other side (pink) is waterproof. I've washed them a lot as I use them as potty pads for my dog and they hold up well in the washer and dryer. I just love the fact they're saving me money each time I use them.

I would refer to the Thirsties website for specific info, but you could always try laying the insert inside of the cover and see how it works. I use my cover with fitted diapers and prefolds with a snappi. The covers do a really good job of holding moisture inside.

I have never used the vinyl covered ones but the neoprene covered ones are soft and have a VERY toxic smell to them. They are still airing out before i use them. Wish I had known this before I bought them.

This product is not pads.. it is a living patch of grass. The plant naturally absorbs the urine and odors so there is nothing to clean"

When my boys have pee'd their beds, to me it seems to absorb the pee vs. if i were to just have a fitted sheet to pull it off and have slight puddling on their matteress... their still use their crib matteress which have that plasticy feel to them where pee doesn't soak into the mattress. I hope this makes sense for you! :) I also personally like them cause they give their flat matteresses some softness/fluffiness to them.

They are made of rubber with a cloth lining. I can tell you right now that mine are getting really smelly no matter how much I clean them. And the sweat collects under them like nobody's business. It kind of sucks! I've had them for a few months and I'm ready for a better solution. They are smelly and wet and slip off some times.

I haven't bit I've found that they work best for me when I fold them in a way where the back is wider. Then when I put it in the cover I fold down the front just a little. This way there is more coverage in the back for poo and a fold in the front to prevent pee from leaking at the top. Hope that helps.

Hi Dorothy. I would not consider absorbancy to be a major attribute of this pad. It is like Astro Turf and the bottom of the pad does not have padding that would completely block urine from going through. The pad does "repel" small amounts of liquid though (as mentioned in the product description). We bought the pad primarily to catch litter from cats' paws on their way out. It is also good to catch any feces that might attach to your cat's tail. We have a long hair Main Coon, and sometimes he has issues with that.The pad provides ample coverage and the neutral tone goes with pretty much any decor. Let me know if you have any more questions.
