PausitoRoutine BuilderHow often should you wash a mattress protector?
Wash your mattress protector once a month. Wash it straight away after a spill or illness.
A mattress protector catches sweat, skin flakes and stains before they soak into the mattress. You cannot wash the mattress itself, but you can wash the protector. Washing it monthly keeps your mattress fresh for longer.
- Take the protector off the mattress
- Wash it according to the label, usually at 60 °C
- Let it dry properly; do not tumble-dry a waterproof layer too hot
- Only put it back once it is completely dry
