The Secrets to a Perfect Wash for Your Mattress Protector
Your mattress protector is the guardian of your bedding, protecting it from stains, dust mites, and wear. To ensure it remains effective and soft wash after wash, it's essential to follow a few simple care rules. Here's how to wash your ZenPur mattress protector without damaging it.
Tip #1: The First Wash, a Gentle Gesture
Your ZenPur mattress protector arrives compressed in its packaging. We recommend washing it before first use . This first wash has a double benefit:
- It unfolds the loops of the cotton terry cloth, making it instantly softer and more absorbent.
- It eliminates any manufacturing residue for perfect hygiene from the first night.
Tip #2: Machine Washing, Simple and Effective
Your mattress protector is designed to be easy to care for. You can machine wash it with your sheets.
- Temperature: For a deep clean that eliminates bacteria and dust mites, wash it up to 60°C (or 140°F). This is the ideal temperature for maximum hygiene.
- Detergent: Use your usual household detergent. However, never use bleach , as it could damage the waterproof membrane.
Tip #3: Drying, the Delicate Step
This is the most important step in preserving the qualities of your mattress protector. The waterproof polyurethane membrane is not susceptible to high temperatures.
- THE GOLDEN RULE: Dry at a very low temperature. If using a tumble dryer, choose the gentlest or "cool air" setting.
- The safe alternative: Air drying is always the best option if you have the option.
- NEVER DO: Never iron or dry clean the mattress protector. Direct heat from the iron or chemicals will irreversibly damage the membrane.
How often should you wash your mattress protector?
We recommend washing every 1 to 2 months, or more often if necessary (in case of accident, illness or if you suffer from severe allergies).
