Frequently Asked Questions

How does HaloShield antimicrobial technology work?
HaloShield is a proprietary antimicrobial technology bonded to the fabric fibers of the underpad. It works by disrupting the cell membranes of bacteria on contact, killing 99.9% of odor-causing bacteria within 10 minutes. Unlike topical antimicrobial treatments that wash out over time, HaloShield’s protection is renewed and reactivated with each chlorine bleach wash — meaning the pad maintains its antimicrobial effectiveness throughout its usable life rather than degrading with repeated laundering.

How do I wash this underpad correctly?
Machine wash in warm or hot water with your regular detergent. To renew the HaloShield antimicrobial protection, include chlorine bleach in the wash cycle — this is what reactivates the germ-fighting technology. Tumble dry on medium heat or air dry. Do not use fabric softener, as it can coat the fibers and reduce the moisture-wicking performance of the top layer. Follow the care label instructions included with the product for specific temperature and bleach concentration guidance.

How many times can this underpad be washed?
Salk HaloShield underpads are designed for repeated laundering and are significantly more durable than disposable alternatives. The exact number of wash cycles varies based on wash temperature, bleach concentration, and drying method, but reusable underpads of this type are typically rated for 200 or more wash cycles under normal care conditions. Inspect the pad regularly for signs of wear — replace when the waterproof backing shows cracking, the absorbent layer feels thin, or the pad no longer performs as expected.

Is this underpad safe for use on a wheelchair or chair?
Yes. The 100% waterproof backing protects the surface beneath the pad — whether a mattress, chair cushion, or wheelchair seat — from fluid penetration. The non-slip backing helps keep the pad in position during use. The 32" x 36" size provides good coverage for both bed and chair applications. For wheelchair use, ensure the pad is positioned securely and check that it does not bunch or fold in a way that could create pressure points under the user.
