A waterproof mattress protector sits between the sheet and mattress; it is not the mattress itself. IKEA's GRUSNARV instructions (for example, 90 × 200 cm model 305.221.35) specify machine washing up to 60°C, low-temperature tumble drying up to 60°C, and no bleaching, ironing or dry cleaning. Verify the regional product code and sewn-in care label; do not generalise to other covers.

1. Read the sewn-in label. Check that this is GRUSNARV and identify the variant. If its label differs from this example, follow the label and manufacturer first.
2. Remove the protector from the bed. Separate it from the sheet and inspect marks or tears. If the waterproof layer is punctured or peeling, consider replacement based on its condition.
3. Separate items with zippers and buttons. IKEA warns that such hardware can pierce or damage the inner waterproof layer during washing.
4. For the stated model, select a normal wash cycle at no more than 60°C. Avoid bleach and excess detergent; also respect your machine's load capacity.
5. If the care label permits, tumble-dry on low at no more than 60°C. Do not iron or dry clean. Excessive heat may damage the waterproof barrier.
6. Refit only when fully dry. Stretch the elastic edge around the mattress and check the protective layer again. Do not cover or store it sealed while damp.
