Can this mattress pad be dried in the dryer on high heat? I'm trying to kill mites and other allergens.

I have dried them in high heat and no shrinking... It is a quality sheet by far and I have them for over a year and some months so it has been through lots of washing & drying in the machine.

I probably wouldn't put it in the dryer - it feels pretty cheap. I always air dry mine.

I have dried mine in a regular clothes dryer on medium, with no issue. If you are nervous you can always dry them on low.

I have accidentally used dryer sheets with the cloths a few times, and they seemed fine. I think they perform best when air dried though.

I have not, but I wouldn't suggest to use it directly on the mattress topper as it may melt, depending on the temperature of the heating pad. It's like a foam type material and I think it may melt a little. Again, I am not completely sure as I don't have a heated mattress cover, my mattress cover is just waterproof. But good luck. I suggest you try to find out if the material is flammable.

I don't know how the manufacturer recommends that they be dried. Personally, I'd keep them out of a hot dryer for fear of loosening the silicone's bond with the fabric. Just hang them on a clothes hanger using safety pins or clothes pins, and let them air dry. (That seems silly. They're used for handling hot items, after all. But only for brief--not extended--periods.)

I unpacked my new Wagner today and used the attachment with the cloth cover to clean mattresses and furniture. It dried immediately. I'm hoping the steam is hot enough with the cloth cover on to kill any dust mites. Does anybody know?

No, no steam is emitted without the trigger being depressed. Evaporation quickly dries wet areas. The micro-fiber pad is not designed for drying surfaces.

It is polyester so it dries really fast. There are also 2 metal hooks that would harm your drier. I believe the directions said you could put it in dryer on low heat, but it dries so quickly I wouldn't see a reason to.

It very well could be. If you can find a schematic tucked somewhere in the top part of the dryer. there should also be high temp limit switch in line to the heating element. It could be that as well. Also, dependent on the age of the dryer, could be the heating element itself getting old and not heating up all the way.

We use commercial dryers and we first tried to use the coolest setting to dry the Sleep Tite, but it took way to long and never dried. We ended using a warmer setting it did not really dry it either. We have not used a high setting and probably will not chance ruining the Sleep Tite. According to the drying directions, it states to use a warm setting, which by the way will take forever or just stay wet. We decided to just dry the Sleep Tite just enough to make it very damp, and then hang it in our motorhome for a while.

The pad is inside a plush bed. It would need to be dry. Ours is inside a shed, with a heavy-duty extension cord running from the house. No problems.

I personally don't use a mattress pad, just wipe it clean and let it air dry.

I have washed mine. Don't dry on too high a heat if you can avoid it but it survived my washer and dryer. And my dryer doesn't have a 'low' setting. I never bothered to check the tag though...

I have never wet mine but I believe you can. I just heat the pad as directed and put a wet wash cloth next to my skin before I place the pack. If you do it this way you will never have to worry about mold. Keep the pack wet side up as it dries after use and I do not think you will have a problem. I LOVE mine for wet or dry heat. Hope this helps.

YES, I have one of these on my Tempermatic mattress for ten years now. Today I took it off to inspect it. The mattress is like NEW. Not a spot on it. But I will say one thing DO NOT try to wash the protector pad. Mine said I could, I FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS to the letter. I washed it alone and dryed it alone. It came out without 50% of the rubber backing or what ever it was.I can still use it on my bed BUT it would be not as effected as it once it wasI will be buying another one today

Yes I dried them on a warm heat setting and it was fine. I assume you can dry them on a higher heat if you choose.

we have the mattress itself in an allergy-proof sealed zipper cover. any mattress pad we put on, we do so OVER that, so it can be taken off & washed. i think the heat is so gentle, that if it was under another pad, you would barely feel the heat. i suppose you could try it and just up the heat higher.
