How to care for your waterproof cot sheet
At Hey Mumma Co, we understand that new mums need practical and reliable products to make their lives easier. Our waterproof cot sheets are designed with this in mind, combining functionality with beautiful, soft fabrics that are perfect for your little one.
To help you keep your sheets in the best condition, we've put together this guide on how to care for them.
Why Proper Care Matters:
Our waterproof cot sheets are made with high-quality polyurethane laminate (PUL) that ensures they remain waterproof and soft even after frequent washing. Proper care is essential to maintain these properties and ensure the sheets last as long as possible.
Washing Your Waterproof Cot Sheet
Wash Prior to Use
- It's always a good idea to wash your cot sheets before using them for the first time. This helps to remove any residual manufacturing residues and ensures the sheets are clean and soft for your baby.
Sort and Wash with Similar Colours
- To prevent any colour bleeding or fading, wash your cot sheets with similar colours
Machine Wash at or Below 60˚C / 140˚F
- Use a gentle cycle with a temperature setting at or below 60˚C (140˚F). This helps to preserve the integrity of the polyurethane laminate and the cotton fabric.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals
- Do not use bleach, harsh detergents, or fabric softeners, as these can damage the waterproof layer and the fabric.
How to dry:
Line Dry in Shade - This is the best way to dry your cot sheets is to line dry them in the shade. This helps to avoid direct exposure to high heat, which can damage the polyurethane laminate.
Additional Tips:
-
Do Not Iron
-
Avoid Dry-Cleaning
-
Do Not Soak
-
Handle with Care - Avoid piercing the fabric with sharp objects. This can compromise the waterproof properties of the sheet.
