  1. Before washing, make sure any solid matter is removed from your product. For items with heavy soiling that may stain or develop odors, rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear before storing for wash day.
  2. For a deep clean, start with a pre-wash on a short cycle using warm water (up to 140°F / 60°C) and the recommended amount of detergent, such as Tide Original to Line 1. Follow with a heavy-duty, longest-cycle wash in warm or cold water, again using the appropriate detergent amount. To ensure proper agitation, add other items to create a full load.
  3. For everyday or lighter messes or items already pre-rinsed, a regular cycle in cold or warm water (up to 140°F / 60°C) with the normal amount of detergent is sufficient.
  4. Whenever possible, hang to dry. If you’re in a rush, you can tumble dry on low.

Before washing, remove any solids from your product. For heavily soiled items that may stain or develop odors, rinse under cold running water until clear before storing. For a deep clean, start with a pre-wash on a short warm cycle (up to 140°F / 60°C) using the recommended amount of detergent, then follow with a heavy-duty wash on the longest cycle in warm or cold water, adding other items to create a full load for proper agitation. For everyday or lightly soiled items, a regular cycle in cold or warm water with the usual amount of detergent is sufficient. Hang to dry whenever possible, or tumble dry on low if needed.
Each Lifesaver Mat is made of 3 layers: waterproof PUL, absorbent microfibre, and a top layer of stay dry charcoal. Get all the details here.

That’s a great question! Unfortunately it is a little tricky to answer. If you evenly and steadily distributed water across the entire mat, we could probably give you an amount, but that’s not really how most humans leak and therefore not how the mats get used. We do have this handy video to show you how our Lifesaver Mats absorb. This should give you an idea of how it works and if it will be a good fit for the mess you have in mind!

Very effective, so happy I got two! Good coverage on the bed, pattern and color are attractive, and both sides of the blanket feel good: the absorbent side is soft and warm, it doesn't have that static-sensation that comes from microfiber type texture, and the water repellant side is soft too in a more supple way (it feels like cloth, not plastic, while still remaining effective).

Absolutely love this!!! I have the mini and the classic and have been so pleased. My older dog recently had to come off her incontinence meds so is leaking when she sleeps or relaxes. This massive mat is so helpful for keeping couches and my bed dry, and I love that the moisture is wicked away, unlike normal waterproof dog blankets whether the moisture sits on top, so she's not laying in the wet. Might need an XXL too!

Hiya Rebecca!! Many thanks for taking the time out of your day to share your experience with your Lifesaver Waterproof Mat XL! We are thrilled to hear that your XL is a helpful addition to your Lifesaver Mat collection! It is truly a game changer for pet care like in your sweet pup's case. A dry pup on a dry couch is a combination made for lots and lots of snuggles! We appreciate you and hope that you have a fantastic week!! - Amanda @ Lil Helper

Great for senior pets

I have a senior diva kitty (18) who sometimes has bladder accidents. Unfortunately, she also loves sleeping on our bed during the day while we are at work, which can lead to some issues. Prior to getting this mat we were using the Amazon waterproof pads for beds, but found we had to layer at least 2 on top of the bed because sometimes one didn't fully work.
I put this Lifesaver mat on the bed with the waterproof side up and came home to find it is really waterproof! May be TMI, but the mess was puddled on top instead of absorbed down (and possibly absorbed into my bedding).
It looks nicer than the cheap Amazon pads and works significantly better. Win-win!

Hello Amber! Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review of your Lifesaver XL Waterproof Mat. We're thrilled to read how your sweet kitty can rest on your bed during the day without any leaks hitting your bedding! You may want to try flipping the mat around so that the charcoal side is face up. This will allow any liquid to absorb into the Lifesaver Mat instead of pooling on top. We're glad that replacing your disposable pads with our Lifesaver Mat has been a win-win for you. Please give your kitty a pet from all of us at Lil Helper! - Amanda @ Lil Helper
