How to Care for Your Massage Table Fleece Pad Set

Quick answer

Wash your fleece pad set in cold water on a gentle cycle, tumble dry on low, and avoid fabric softeners to keep the pile soft and the elastic snug.

Step-by-step fleece pad care routine

1. Shake out loose debris before washing: Take the pad and cradle cover outside or over a trash bin and shake vigorously to remove hair, lint, and crumbs. Spot-treat any visible oil or lotion stains with a small amount of mild detergent. Skipping this step can push debris deeper into the fibers during washing.
2. Machine wash cold on gentle cycle: Use cold water and a gentle cycle with a mild, bleach-free detergent. Do not use fabric softener—it coats the fleece fibers and reduces their fluffiness. Wash the pad and cover together to balance the load. Fabric softener will flatten the pile and make the pad less comfortable.
3. Tumble dry on low heat only: Dry the pad and cover on the lowest heat setting. High heat can shrink the elastic edges and cause the fitted corners to lose their shape. Remove while slightly damp and air-dry the rest of the way to preserve loft. High heat is the number one cause of warped elastic on fleece pads.
4. Fluff and store flat or rolled: Once dry, give the pad a good shake or a quick fluff in the dryer on no heat to restore the pile. Store it flat or loosely rolled—never folded tightly, which creates permanent creases. Folding can leave lines that clients feel through the sheet.
