PVC Care Guide - Top Tips On How To Care For & Clean Your Baby Changing Mat
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 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 our British-made nursery-grade foam, which is free from TCPP and toxic fire retardants such as phosphorus and antimony. They are all hand-made in 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, 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 or basket changing mat clean.
Anti-Roll Changing Mats - Top tips on how to clean:
- We recommend only using 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.
- 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.
Seagrass Changing Basket Mats - Top tips on how to clean:
- Wipe clean only. We recommend only using warm soapy water or baby wipes to clean your changing mat.
- Do not use chemicals, including 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 tumble dry or machine wash.
- 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).
Following the care rules will result in a longer-lasting product.
