  1. Before washing, make sure any solid matter is removed from your product. For items with heavy soiling that may stain or develop odors, rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear before storing for wash day.
  2. For a deep clean, start with a pre-wash on a short cycle using warm water (up to 140°F / 60°C) and the recommended amount of detergent, such as Tide Original to Line 1. Follow with a heavy-duty, longest-cycle wash in warm or cold water, again using the appropriate detergent amount. To ensure proper agitation, add other items to create a full load.
  3. For everyday or lighter messes or items already pre-rinsed, a regular cycle in cold or warm water (up to 140°F / 60°C) with the normal amount of detergent is sufficient.
  4. Whenever possible, hang to dry. If you’re in a rush, you can tumble dry on low.

Before washing, remove any solids from your product. For heavily soiled items that may stain or develop odors, rinse under cold running water until clear before storing. For a deep clean, start with a pre-wash on a short warm cycle (up to 140°F / 60°C) using the recommended amount of detergent, then follow with a heavy-duty wash on the longest cycle in warm or cold water, adding other items to create a full load for proper agitation. For everyday or lightly soiled items, a regular cycle in cold or warm water with the usual amount of detergent is sufficient. Hang to dry whenever possible, or tumble dry on low if needed.
Each Lifesaver Mat is made of 3 layers: waterproof PUL, absorbent microfibre, and a top layer of stay dry charcoal. Get all the details here.

That’s a great question! Unfortunately it is a little tricky to answer. If you evenly and steadily distributed water across the entire mat, we could probably give you an amount, but that’s not really how most humans leak and therefore not how the mats get used. We do have this handy video to show you how our Lifesaver Mats absorb. This should give you an idea of how it works and if it will be a good fit for the mess you have in mind!

Hands down the best purchase I’ve ever made

We got the life saver mat a few years ago and it has been one of the best purchases we’ve made. Cannot rave about it enough. So comfy! Love the fleecy part for winter and the smoother side for summer! (I know they have their own uses but let me be!)
It literally made our lives so much easier! Just throw it in the wash and boom! You’re done! We typically line dry out clothes anyway and the best thing about this mat is that unlike so many other “waterproof” products, doesn’t hold on to water too much and does not drip on the floor! Both my mattress protectors (cheap and expensive one) do and it’s the most annoying thing having to put something to catch the dripping. But not with life saver mat! Never had this issue! I can’t wait to try the little helper bedding! Also customer service is impeccable! Honestly the best company to support ❤️
Much love to you all!❤️

So excited!

I ordered the lifesaver xl as a prrsent for my husband. It finally arrived today after its tour of The Netherlands (so annoyed that we all have to do stuff like this) and I LOVE it. The Oh Canada red is lovely and it’s soft and quiet and BIG! And I have plans for using it in so many places, what with an ancient cat, two teens, and two middle aged folk…I’m probably gonna need more.

Hey Allison!! Thank you deeply for taking the time to leave a 5 star review of your Lifesaver XL Waterproof Mat! We appreciate your patience in waiting for your Lifesaver to arrive to you as well.
