take the mattress cover to a laundrymat and wash it in the jumbo sized commercial front-load washers without the agitator. NO BLEACH. i use tide powder and oxi clean pre-treater. DO NOT DRY IN THE DRYER OR YOU WILL NEVER GET IT BACK ON THE MATTRESS. let it air dry on a clothesline. as far as the foam, spray/rinse it out with a garden hose, and then take the foam and let it soak in the bathtub for a day in mild deturgent/disinfectant.

I have washed the mattress covers before (quite a long while ago actually), but don't remember now how I went about it. The label simply says it is "viscose," (same stuff as rayon), and "Do not wring." My washing machine is the old fashioned kind with an agitator, and of course, a spin cycle. Can I wash the mattress cover in the machine on the "gentle cycle" using cold water? Should I not spin it? What about the polyurethane foam of the mattress itself? How do I clean that, especially to remove the urine from the foam? mcneely
