An expensive mattress cannot be washed at home, and taking it to the dry cleaner is very expensive.
To keep the product in proper condition and extend its service life, housewives use a mattress cover. It will protect the mattress from premature wear and tear and dirt, moisture and dirt, sweat and epidermis particles.
In case of any contamination, it is easier to wash the mattress cover than the mattress itself. Therefore, it is important to know how to properly care for this item.
Washing a mattress cover
Sheets and pillowcases are washed weekly, but many housewives forget about the mattress pad.
If you use the mattress cover every day, you need to wash it at least once every 30 days. If you use it rarely, it is enough to refresh the product twice a year, and for children - as it gets dirty.
Knitted mattress covers made of cotton or jacquard are washed at a temperature not exceeding 40 degrees. To prevent the fabric from shrinking, use non-aggressive detergents without bleach.
Waterproof mattress covers require frequent washing with a mild liquid detergent. One option is laundry soap.
If you forget to wash your mattress cover in a timely manner, it can become a breeding ground for bacteria, mites, allergens and germs.
