Although most things wipe off, our PVC changing mats (Anti-Roll and Oval Basket) are not completely stain resistant. 

Our changing mats are expertly manufactured using a waterproof PVC, that is free of BPA and phthalates, so you can have peace of mind that they are safe on baby's delicate skin. All of our changing mat products are filled with our British Made nursery grade foam which is free from TCPP and toxic fire retardants such as phosphorous and antimony. They are all hand-made in the England and have undergone stringent testing to comply with all relevant British legislation. 

Why do we use PVC on our changing mats? The specialised non toxic PVC is the best material that is fit for purpose, practical and more importantly certified as safe for use with newborns, babies and children. This soft to touch PVC fabric is wipeable and waterproof ready for you and your tiny one to enjoy fuss free nappy changes. 

Our 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, ball point pen, dye from baby bibs/clothes, the list goes on. Here are some top tips in assisting with keeping your PVC anti-roll changing mat or basket changing mat clean. 

Anti-Roll Changing Mats - Top tips how to clean

  • We recommend only using warm soapy water or baby wipes to clean your changing mat. 
  • We do not recommend anti bacterial cleaning fluids or chemicals containing bleach, this can cause discolouration & 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 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. This can cause staining and discolouration. 
  • Our changing mats are made from a 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. 

Seagrass Changing Basket - Top tips how to clean

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.

Changing mats are not recommended as a mattress or for sleeping on. Our changing mats are not a toy.

Store your changing mat away after each use (without anything on top of it).
