Elastic mattress covers are a practical and snug way to shield your mattress while ensuring a tight seal. However, as years pass, the stretch trim can lose its stretch if not handled with care. To ensure your bed cover stays tight and functional for years, follow these proven best practices.

Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions before washing, as different materials require unique care methods. Commonly available bed covers can be cleaned using low-temperature settings on a delicate setting. Avoid hot water—it can break down the polymers and diminish their recovery power.

Opt for a fragrance-free soap that contains neither optical brighteners nor conditioners. Strong oxidizing agents destroys the stretch integrity, and fabric softener can form a slippery film, impairing stretch recovery.

Avoid mixing with heavy items or with non-abrasive textiles to prevent snagging. When drying, sun-free air drying is optimal. Place it on a drying rack or suspend it from a line in a shaded area out of UV exposure, which can also accelerate aging.

When air drying isn’t possible, choose the no-heat air cycle, and pull it out halfway through to prevent excessive heat exposure.

Never iron directly on the elastic parts, as heat exposure can permanently damage the polymers. If you need to flatten the surface, use a low-temperature steamer from a safe distance.

Alternate its placement to prevent uneven wear and tear on the elastic edges. Avoid pulling or stretching the cover forcefully when putting it on or taking it off. Instead, distribute tension uniformly around the corners.

Storage conditions affect longevity. Roll it gently and place it in a climate-controlled space. Don’t compress it tightly or using plastic bags for \خرید روتختی long term storage, as this can trap moisture and cause mildew.

With mindful upkeep, your elastic bed cover will preserve its elasticity and remain tightly anchored for countless nights ahead.
