Step 1: Always Check the Label

Be sure to look at the details on the care instruction label. Doing so will tell you everything you need to know about:

• The temperature of water you should (or shouldn’t) use
• The drier cycle that works best
• Whether any special washing practices are recommended

Step 2: Wash It Up

Machine wash either on its own or with similar materials.

• Temperature: Cold water is preferred because it will prevent any of the fibers from shrinking. Laundry detergent: Use a mild detergent that doesn’t have any built-in softeners. Softeners can affect your mattress’s ability to absorb.
• Wash cycle: Delicate or gentle to ensure your mattress encasement is thoroughly washed.
• A second rinse cycle is recommended to ensure all the laundry detergent is out.
• Dried-out detergent in the mattress protection material can irritate your skin through your fitted sheet and may lead to mold and mildew.

Step 3: Time to Dry

We highly recommend drying the mattress pad to prevent too much moisture left over in the fabric, bacterial growth, and mold setup. 

• Tumble dry: Low heat is highly recommended to prevent fabric. Don’t be afraid to let your mattress hang out in the dryer for a while to ensure maximum dryness.
• Air-dry it under the sun: Let your mattress protector bask in the sunshine and soak up. Your mattress protector will be dry in a few hours.
