Salk HaloShield Antimicrobial Reusable Underpad – 23" × 36"

Salk HaloShield Antimicrobial Reusable Underpad – 23" × 36" | Kills 99.9% of Odor-Causing Bacteria | Moisture-Wicking | 100% Waterproof | Bleach-Renewable Protection | SKU SK1990H

The reusable underpad that eliminates odor — not just absorbs it. The Salk HaloShield Underpad is built with antimicrobial technology that kills 99.9% of odor-causing bacteria within 10 minutes of contact, addressing the source of urine odor rather than simply masking it. What makes HaloShield unique is that its germ and odor-killing protection is renewed with every wash in chlorine bleach — so the antimicrobial performance is restored each time the pad is laundered, maintaining effectiveness over the life of the product. The ultrasoft moisture-wicking top layer keeps users dry by pulling fluid away from the skin, while the super absorbent inner layer quickly traps and locks fluids in. A 100% waterproof backing protects bedding, chairs, and other surfaces from moisture damage. Non-irritating for sensitive skin. More economical and better for the environment than disposable underpads.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does HaloShield antimicrobial technology work?
HaloShield is an antimicrobial treatment built into the fabric of the underpad. When bacteria come into contact with the treated surface, the technology disrupts the bacteria’s cell structure and kills 99.9% of odor-causing bacteria within 10 minutes. Unlike standard underpads that simply absorb urine and allow bacteria to proliferate — producing the characteristic ammonia odor — HaloShield actively kills the bacteria responsible for odor at the source.

Does the antimicrobial protection wear out over time?
No — this is one of HaloShield’s key advantages. The antimicrobial protection is renewed with every wash in chlorine bleach. Standard bleach laundering, which is already common practice for incontinence products, simultaneously restores the HaloShield protection. This means the pad maintains its odor-killing effectiveness throughout its usable life as long as it is washed with bleach.

How do I wash and care for this underpad?
Machine wash with chlorine bleach to clean the pad and renew the HaloShield antimicrobial protection. Follow the care label for water temperature and cycle recommendations. Tumble dry or air dry as directed. Using bleach is important — it is both the cleaning agent and the mechanism that restores the antimicrobial performance. Do not use fabric softener, as it can coat the moisture-wicking fibers and reduce absorbency.

How does this compare to disposable underpads?
Reusable underpads like the HaloShield have a higher upfront cost than a single disposable pad but are significantly more economical over time — a quality reusable pad can replace hundreds of disposables over its lifespan. They also generate far less waste. The HaloShield adds the additional benefit of active odor control that most disposables do not offer, making it a strong choice for users where odor management is a priority alongside fluid protection.
