Quick answer

Wash your changing pad cover in cold water on a gentle cycle and tumble dry on low. This keeps the fabric soft and the print vibrant.

Why regular cleaning matters

A changing pad cover collects drool, diaper leaks, and spit-up daily. If you let stains sit, they can set into the fabric and become harder to remove. Washing every few days or as soon as it looks soiled keeps the cover hygienic and extends its life. The Trixie Aura collection covers are made from soft, durable materials that handle frequent washing well, but you still need to treat stains before the wash cycle.

Step-by-step washing guide

  1. Check the care label: Look for any specific instructions on the tag. Most changing pad covers, including Trixie Aura covers, are machine washable. If the tag says cold water only, follow that. Skipping the label can cause shrinking or fading.
  2. Pre-treat stains: Apply a small amount of gentle stain remover or liquid detergent directly on any visible marks. Let it sit for 10–15 minutes before washing. Do not rub hard—dab the stain to avoid spreading it. Treating stains immediately prevents them from setting.
  3. Wash in cold water on gentle cycle: Place the cover in the machine with like colors. Use a mild detergent and set the cycle to cold or cool water. Hot water can damage the fabric or fade the print. Hot water may cause shrinkage or color loss.
  4. Dry on low heat or air dry: Tumble dry on low heat or hang the cover to air dry. High heat can shrink the cover, making it too tight for the pad. Remove while slightly damp to reduce wrinkles. High heat ruins the fit—always use low or no heat.
  5. Reattach while slightly damp: If you air dry, put the cover back on the pad when it's still a bit damp. It will stretch and fit snugly as it finishes drying. This avoids the struggle of forcing a stiff cover over the pad. Damp covers stretch more easily onto the pad.
