The two side flaps fold in and help protect some of the mat so it's not too bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-clean-your-portable-changing-pad#post-1648178 Tue, 20 May 2014 21:09:15 +0000 shopaholic 1648178@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For my PPB one, I toss it in the washing machine. Waterproof ones I just use wipes. But the dishwasher sounds like a good idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-clean-your-portable-changing-pad#post-1648077 Tue, 20 May 2014 20:07:21 +0000 Smurfette 1648077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wipes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-clean-your-portable-changing-pad#post-1647732 Tue, 20 May 2014 16:48:15 +0000 JerricaBenton 1647732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a nutjob so I have two scenarios. I always have puppy pads so if a place is really gross I use that and just throw it away. For ok situations I use a mini waterproof pad, I think it's meant for on top of a changing table or in a play pen. It's all fabric and machine washable. I wash it every time I use it unless it was just like, on the bed at my parents house. I don't know the science of 'germ transfer' when you fold it up but the thought is enough to freak me out. I'm the same way with the shopping cart/restaurant high chair cover. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-clean-your-portable-changing-pad#post-1647676 Tue, 20 May 2014 16:28:08 +0000 ElbieKay 1647676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have one. I use chux and throw them out when they're either dirty from a diaper change or been used in icky places. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-clean-your-portable-changing-pad#post-1647606 Tue, 20 May 2014 16:04:35 +0000 fancyfunction 1647606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just use wipes on both sides and let it air dry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-clean-your-portable-changing-pad#post-1647591 Tue, 20 May 2014 15:54:11 +0000 Mommy Finger 1647591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aegie: I do and I can't really explain it but it just works out that way. Or if anything, only a tiny piece might touch the outside part and it's not enough to worry me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-clean-your-portable-changing-pad#post-1647586 Tue, 20 May 2014 15:50:46 +0000 aegie 1647586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MUI831: Do you use a Skip Hop Pronto or another changing pad? How do you fold a tri-fold without having it come in contact with the outside surface? Share!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-clean-your-portable-changing-pad#post-1647565 Tue, 20 May 2014 15:43:50 +0000 Mommy Finger 1647565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never cleaned it with anything other than a wipe. And the way I fold it, the part that I lay DS down on is on the inside and never comes in contact with any other icky surfaces other than DS. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-clean-your-portable-changing-pad#post-1647498 Tue, 20 May 2014 15:21:43 +0000 aegie 1647498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the Skip Hop pronto changing pad. I'm a bit of an OCD freak so I throw it into the empty dishwasher to clean it while giving the dishwasher a cleaning at the same time. Does anyone else do this? Am I the only crazy one? If not, how do you clean the changing pad? Cause, the way I see it, I'm putting the changing pad down on a questionably clean surface and the way it closes the outside part comes in contact with the part that touches the baby. If you do clean it, how often do you clean it? </p> <p>For what it's worth, my kid is almost 2 years old. This is a testament to my neurotic OCD-ness. </p>
