IMPORTANT
Polyurethane coated fabrics can absorb liquids for short
periods causing a temporary change to the polyurethane
characteristics. The mattress cover swells temporarily and
is more vulnerable to physical damage for a period after it is
completely surface dried, by which time it will revert to its
previous state.
3. Dry the cover thoroughly.

1% Chlorine Solution used on a regular basis can diminish the
life of the cover if not rinsed and dried properly.
