Can you wash a waterproof mattress cover: how to restore cleanliness to a useful accessory
The purpose of a waterproof mattress cover is to provide the mattress with effective protection from various types of dirt and moisture, thereby extending its service life.
But over time, the item itself begins to need cleaning, and here, of course, there are nuances, without knowing which you risk ruining the product.
If you are faced with the need to clean your mattress pad, first of all, carefully study the label attached to it - it should indicate what type of washing can be used.
As a rule, most manufacturers allow machine washing. In this case, you will have to proceed as follows.
1. Select a delicate wash cycle without spinning. If the fabric has stubborn stains, you can pre-soak them in cold or warm water.
2. Use a mild liquid detergent instead of powder, as there is a risk that the powder will not be washed out of the mattress pad.
3. Observe the water temperature conditions indicated on the label. This point is especially important if you do not want the waterproof layer to be destroyed.
4. After washing, dry the mattress cover in the open air.
Earlier, BelNovosti listed the mistakes made during washing that only ruin the machine.
