How do I clean my foam mattress pad? It needs to be washed or something!?

1.Put mattress pad in the tub filled with warm, soapy water.


Stand in the tub; walk on the mattress pad for 2-3 minutes.


Drain the tub.


Run the tub full of rinse water.


Walk on the pad again for a few minutes to rinse out soap.


Drain the tub.


Run the tub full of rinse water for the last time.


Walk on the pad again.


Drain the tub for a long time.


Walk on the pad again to squeeze out the water.


Roll up the pad in the tub, stepping on it to squeeze out the water.


Put the pad in a laundry basket.


Haul it outside and hang on the clothesline, or across 2 lawn chair backs. Let dry for a couple days in the sun and wind.


When pad is dry, it will be light and clean.





2. If pad is small enough, you can put it in the washer, as long as it is in good shape: not torn, or disintegrating.


Put pad in washer.


Add liquid detergent and warm water.


Do not agitate; just let it soak for 15 minutes.


Run the spin cycle for a couple of minutes only, to remove water.


Remove pad; dry outside on line, etc.How do I clean my foam mattress pad? It needs to be washed or something!?
You can't. If you do it will mold on the inside because the foam will trap the liquid inside and steam will melt it. I put a waterproof mattress pad over mine so it wouldn't get nasty.
