MATTRESS INTEGRITY AND CARE
If a mattress cover is damaged, bodily (or other) fluids can pass through and contaminate the inner
core, creating the potential for cross-infection. This is usually known as strike-through.
It is therefore recommended that a frequent inspection of mattress covers is undertaken to inspect
for damage, such as holes, cuts or tears. The inner core of the mattress should also be inspected for
signs of staining or contamination which may not be evident from external inspection.
Covers with surface contamination can be decontaminated using a damp cloth with normal
household cleaners or warm soapy water. Do not use cleaning agents containing ammonia,
abrasives or strong solvents.
Should damage to the cover occur, it should be disposed of safely and replaced. The inner core of
foam mattresses cannot be de-contaminated and should be disposed of safely and replaced.
