• Machine wash your protector using warm or hot water, then tumble dry at medium temperature. This should be done as soon as possible after your spillage, preferably while the spill is still wet.

• Our mattress protectors are designed to be impermeable to liquids, but permeable to gasses and vapours. This is to ensure your complete comfort, giving you a waterproof yet breathable sleeping surface. However, this means that some of the smell might have penetrated the barrier – to solve this, use any readily-available odour eliminator on your mattress.
