Care Instructions
These care instructions must be complied with to ensure your new mattress is covered by the BedGuard Guarantee.
After spills blot the mattress surface with paper towel as soon as practical and your BedGuard will continue to protect again and again. All SPILL, ODOUR and STAIN will be transferred into the paper towel after blotting. The paper towel containing spill, odour and stain can be easily disposed. Your mattress surface will feel cold for a short while until reaching the surrounding ambient temperature. It may appear wet or stained for a short period, however this is temporary and will return to normal and is of course ready for use.
The only component of your BedGuard mattress that isn't treated is the 36mm edge tape that is stitched around your mattress to connect the boarder to the top and bottom. The edge tape is constructed of Nylon (like a rain jacket) and may stain. If the edge tape on your mattress gets stained, you should use a small amount household bleach applied with a soft cloth to the tape. Rubber Gloves should always be used when applying bleach, check manufacturers safe handling recommendations.
