Washing vetbed prior to use

I know I need to wash it about 3 times before using it for the first time, but is it wash dry x3 or wash x3 then dry? Going to be washing it in the bath as I'll have more fun trampling on it with my feet than I will by wrestling with it in the limited access space we have to our machine in the garage

I think that only applies for fleece to take off the waxy surface layer which would otherwise reduce the absorbency. Vetbed doesn't have this as it's designed to absorb.

I would definitely wash it at least once, and leave it to dry, before cutting it as it'll shrink quite a lot. A second wash/dry before cutting wouldn't hurt either.

Thanks hun might decide it's not so fun in the bath once the pigs have weed all over it lol. Wellies!
Haven't cut it yet so will do so after washing, there's no way it would have fit in the machine in one piece anyway xx

Wow! forget toning trainers... That was a good workout for my legs! Highly recommended! Did one wash with baby shampoo then another with white vinegar, will be hanging on the line once it's lost some of it's excess water weight
