Turtle Mats

Hi

I have a few turtle mats in my house which are wonderful at trapping dirt.
I've only washed them a few times and always done as it says and washed them on a 30 wash..
Only now I'm sure my cat has had a sneeky wee on one of them and I'd really like to wash them on a 60.. do you think they'd be ok on a 60 wash?

Hi, I've got a few turtle mats too - great aren't they!

I would imagine that a 60 degree wash wouldn't hurt as a one off - but I wouldn't do it too often because of the rubber backing.

Have you tried scrubbing the area with bicarb/ febreeze/ diluted biological washing liquid/ etc first? HTH

Yeah I've tried everything, hot wash is a last resort..

My other idea was a 30 degree was but using detol in with the powder...

They are great though.. I have my 4 year old son who's always playing in the mud, a husband who seems to never be able to part with his shoes, 3 cats and a dalmatian who loves the dirt too. The mats really do trap the dirt lol

just to let you know they washed great on a 60 degree wash incase anyone needs to try it in the future
Thanks

I'm glad you said they were ok. I have mine in at the moment on 60 as it is filthy after all the snow/grit/mud that DS has walked in over the last 3 weeks
