What is the best washing instruction for a mattress?

Washing instructions mattress - An overview

A washing instruction refers to a so-called care label, which is attached to a textile product in the form of a label with different images (pictograms). It provides information on how to wash products correctly and allowed. This is very important to ensure that textiles, such as mattresses, mattress covers, pillows, bed linen, and similar items, can be washed properly. For pillows and bed linen, it may also be permissible to bleach and subsequently iron them. A washing instruction is always provided by the manufacturer to clearly indicate how to clean and care for a mattress cover, bed linen, pillows, bed covers, and mattress covers without causing damage.

Washing instructions - Uniform labeling

In the whole world (except Japan, South Korea, USA), the same and uniform care pictograms apply. Thus, cleaning is uniformly regulated, and the question of how to clean and wash bed linen when abroad is immediately clear. The care instructions are precisely specified and leave no questions unanswered due to the uniform washing instructions. The washing instructions serve as an internationally applicable guide, providing tips for the proper treatment of mattress covers, bed linen, pillows, and bed covers.

Waschanleitung - Richtig waschbar und wie wird gewaschen?

The washing pictograms indicate how to care for the products so that the item brings you joy for many years. But how do you read the tips from the guide to clean properly? If you find a bar depicted under a symbol , then you should clean gently, as a gentle treatment is necessary to avoid damaging the material. Therefore, you should not wash these items too hot and possibly prefer to hang them up to air dry . Symbols that have a cross must be cared for in a different way. For example, if the washing machine symbol is crossed out, then you must not wash the laundry with the machine and should only wash by hand.

Washing instructions for the mattress - This is how you proceed with the mattress cover of a mattress

Caring for and washing a mattress is hassle-free and simple. Most mattresses have a zipper on the outer side of the cover. This zipper can be easily opened. Additionally, the covers of the mattresses at Mister Sandman feature a perfectly practical 4-sided zipper that can be opened all around, allowing you to remove the cover from the mattress. If the cover is removable, it can often be washed as well. All mattress covers in the Mister Sandman online shop are made from a breathable double fabric, certified with the highest Öko Tex seal. Certified mattress items, bedding items, pillow items, and bed items have been tested for harmful substances and are suitable for children, babies, and allergy sufferers.

Washing the mattress cover correctly

Wenn man den Reißverschluss öffnet, um so die Matratze zu öffnen, um Matratzen-Kern vom Matratzenbezug zu lösen, findet man an der Innenseite vom Matratzenbezug das Etikett mit der Waschanleitung. Diese geben Hilfe und Informationen darüber, wie Du den Bezug vom Matratzenbezug waschen und pflegen sollst. Einige Matratzenbezüge müsse nicht gewaschen werden, da beispielsweise Schurwolle im Bezug-Material verarbeitet wurde, sodass man es nur kurz mit der Hand waschen und auslüften sollte. Wolle hat eine hohe Selbstreinigungsfunktion und muss daher kaum gepflegt werden. Hast Du also Matratzenbezüge mit versteppter Schurwolle muss sie nach Waschanleitung nicht in die Waschmaschine.

Care Instructions Mattress - Symbol Washing Machine: Wash by hand or by washing machine

Based on the symbols on the washing instructions, you can see at a glance whether you can wash the item, e.g. the sleep product, and at what maximum temperature. The temperature is indicated in degrees Celsius below the symbol. A bar under the pictogram indicates gentle care, for example with a gentle care program. Double bars indicate a particularly gentle care requirement. A hand depicted while washing the mattress shows as a guide that it may only be cleaned by hand washing and at maximum 40°C. Proper and correct care of bedding is a prerequisite to feel comfortable in your bed with the appropriate slatted frame. Some textiles must not be washed and are marked on the washing instructions with a crossed out. 

Care Instructions Mattress - Bleaching

If the covers of a mattress are to have a radiant white again, they can be bleached in some cases. The bleaching is represented by the symbols on the care instructions in the form of a triangle. Depending on how and whether it is filled in or crossed out, different care instructions apply depending on whether one is allowed to bleach with chlorine or oxygen or only with oxygen.

Ironing - different temperatures

Tips for ironing can also be found on the label of the washing instructions. Usually, you do not need to iron a mattress cover unless it explicitly states so. The iron symbol and the degree Celsius number indicate the maximum temperature required for ironing the material. If a dot is visible on the symbol, you may heat it up to 110°C at most. Two dots symbolize that you can iron up to 200°C.
