How do I properly launder my washable
reusable bed underpads?
Correctly washed bed pads will
have a long and useful life.
Incorrectly washed bed pads can
breakdown and the life of the
product will be reduced.
Here are a few laundering hits for
home laundering:
-
If
you use too much bleach it will
cause a premature product failure.
The use of oxygenated bleach is
recommended
-
Proper load levels are important -
you should wash with 85% capacity
in the washer and dryer.
-
Cool
down for approximately 5 minutes
after the drying cycle. Do
not leave the underpads in the
dryer after the cycle is complete.
-
The
use of fabric softeners can reduce
absorbency.
-
For
all polyester products DO NOT use
fabric softener. It will
cause the bed pad to not absorb
liquids.
For
laundering in Commercial
Industrial Strength Machines
here are some standard formulas:

-
Local water conditions can
influence the effectiveness of
your wash. Hard water, soft
water, etc...
-
Drying times for underpads varies
based on the weight of the
underpads. Heavier soaker
capacity in the underpads means it
will take longer to dry and less
will can be washed during a load
due to volume.
