Although most things wipe off, our PVC changing mats (Anti-Roll, Original and Oval Basket) are not completely stain-resistant.
Our changing mats are expertly manufactured here in England using waterproof PVC, which is free of BPA and phthalates, so you can have peace of mind that they are safe on a baby's delicate skin. All of our changing mat products are filled with British-made nursery-grade foam.
Why do we use PVC on our changing mats?
The specialised non-toxic PVC is the best material that is fit for purpose and practical. This soft-to-touch PVC fabric is wipeable and waterproof, ready for you and your tiny one to enjoy fuss-free nappy changes.
Changing mats are in constant use; changing mats are versatile and can be used for a variety of purposes, including drying your baby after bath time or even for baby massage.
The usual stain-causing suspects are unavoidable poo explosions (especially when left to soil), felt tips, ballpoint pens, dye from baby bibs/clothes, and the list goes on. Here are some top tips to assist in keeping your PVC anti-roll changing mat, Original baby changing mat or basket changing mat clean.
How to Clean our Changing Mats
- Only use warm soapy water or baby wipes to clean your changing mat.
- We do not recommend antibacterial cleaning fluids or chemicals containing bleach, as this can cause discoloration and weaken the fabric, which will lead to breaking or cracking of the fabric over time.
- Keep out of continuous, direct sunlight, as this may fade the print pattern over time or can lead to weakening of the material, which can lead to tears.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Do not leave stains to soil like stains from nappy rash creams, as this can cause staining and discoloration.
- Please ensure your mat is not left damp after cleaning/using - this could encourage mould. Always check the underside of your mat after use, ensuring that it is clean and dry.
- Our changing mats are made from flexible, high-quality PVC that will last the test of time; however, with regular or improper use, as with any changing mat, they may become subject to wear and tear.
