Mattress and Pillow Protectors Care Guide
Wetsafe Mattress Protectors feature a soft surface layer (either quilted or towelling) combined with a breathable, noiseless polyurethane waterproof barrier. This dual-layer design provides complete liquid protection while maintaining comfort and breathability. Both Quilted and Towelling Wetsafe protectors require similar care to preserve the integrity of the waterproof layer and extend product lifespan.
Washing
- Proper washing maintains the waterproof barrier and keeps the protector hygienic and fresh.
- The polyurethane layer requires gentle handling to prevent damage.
- Use a mild detergent.
- Avoid bleach and fabric softeners to protect the waterproof layer.
Drying
- Careful drying is essential to preserve the waterproof layer and prevent damage.
- Excessive heat is the primary threat to polyurethane-based protectors.
- Tumble dry on low heat only, or line dry where possible.
- Do not use high heat, as it can compromise waterproof performance.
Stain Removal
- Immediate action is essential for optimal stain removal.
- The tight weave of both Quilted and Towelling Wetsafe resists staining, but quick treatment prevents permanent marks.
- Spot clean using a mild detergent solution.
- Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the waterproof barrier.
Storage and Maintenance
- Proper storage protects the protector between use and extends product longevity.
- Ensure the protector is completely dry before folding and storing.
- Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space away from direct sunlight.
- Avoid compressing for long periods to help maintain shape and performance.
Waterproof Layer Care
- The polyurethane waterproof barrier is the key to the protector's effectiveness.
- Proper care maintains its integrity and performance.
- Avoid high heat, bleach, fabric softeners, and dry cleaning to prevent breakdown of the waterproof layer.
- Avoid damage from sharp objects which can puncture the barrier.
Commercial Washing Durability
- Wetsafe Mattress Protectors are engineered for commercial laundering environments and maintain effectiveness through frequent washing cycles.
- Consistent low-temperature drying is essential to preserve waterproof performance.
- Inspect protectors regularly and remove any items with punctures or barrier damage.
Sustainability and Care
- Caring for Wetsafe protectors responsibly extends their lifespan and reduces environmental impact.
- Wash full loads (without overloading) to optimise water and energy use.
- Prefer line drying where possible to reduce energy consumption and heat exposure.
