Well, I guess it lasted a little longer, almost a year. I took very good care of it I thought, but it still lasted only about 12 mo. I just used the same detergent as I used on my cloths (All detergent), but no kind of bleach and never put it through the dryer. Just air dry. Never the less, the last time I washed it, it came out of the washer with a large hole, a big thready one about 4" in diameter, that didn't even start little. Too much cost for a track record like this. Will not buy again.

Mine is about two months old but I have only washed it twice and use oxyclean (liquid form) and hang out on clothes line do not use the dryer.

I've had my Earthing products for 3 years now with no problems. I wash the sheet with Tide -- it didn't occur to me to use anything else. I don't overload the washing machine because I don't want any pulling on the sheet's "wiring."

Hi Amanda, Yes I have been using my 2 half sheets for longer almost a year. I am using the instructions located on Earthing's website. They recommended Ivory Snow and while it took me awhile to locate Ivory Snow I found it, and it works great. Earthing also sells their own powered soap if you can't locate Ivory Snow. I do not put them in a dryer. I hang them to dry. No problems. M. Maxwell-Struble

I purchased these King sheets from amazon in April of 2012. They are still in wonderful condition and soft; they are on the bed most of the time. If anyone has problems with pilling, they may be washing them with other items. I wash my sheet set alone - never with other items. I ran across your question because I am ready to buy another set for a spare.

I only used a sheet. I wished I would have bought two sheets because I washed hers every 3 days due to her drooling. I got mine from babies r us. It was the only place that I could find it at during the time. But it felt good and soft.

Actually the one that came with it lasted about 6 months or longer, but my husband would clean it very well. These new ones are sorta plastic and I just washed them and let them air dry so I hope they last a long time.

I bought mine some time ago and have used several sheets. You should direct this question to the supplier. Good luck

I got portacrib sheets at Toys R Us, I forget which brand, and Carousel Designs. They both get softer the more you wash them. (Neither are organic).

I can only give you my own washing routine. I am just starting to use my second bottle of this liquid. I started the first bottle on or about February 10th.It is definitely the detergent to use. No more yucky smelling sponges etc.only a small squirt on the sponge washes a lot of dishes.I have now also switched from a well known brand of clothes washing liquid to Seventh Generation Liquid for my Washing Machine and it works wonderful.

I spilled some on a bedsheet. I put the sheet in the dryer, the highest setting, at a laundromat at least once a month [rotating it with other sheets]. The hard spot where the glue fell is still the same size. The glue will vaporize at some point. A Google search might be more helpful.

Not 100% sure why, your having issues. Is it the liners leaking for the outer diaper cover? I'm taking a guess & thinking possible a few reasons. 1- Not washed according to MFG directions. Maybe to much detergent has built up & is now preventing the liners from doing their job? 2- Also, I don't put the liners or the covers in dryer. Mine air dry. 3- I have about 4 days worth of diaper liners & covers. So mine are not used daily.They are rotated. If you have been using the same 2 dozen for the last 10 months, Maybe it's just wearing out. 4- I don't need or use any type of diaper cream, If you do, perhaps that is building up. As my daughter got older, I too found it necessary to use 2 lines, during naps. Post here if you found out why this is happening. Now I'm curious

I just use regular detergent but I always hit any and all stains with oxy stain remover before put them in the wash. Works wonders. I hope this helps..

Good question. I have gotten product that is excellent but have also gotten product that smells like soured laundry left in the washer for too long by accident. You do have the option of asking a question of the vendor so it is a good idea to request the expiration date.

I didn't wash before, but I was desperate to protect my bed from my potty training toddler. It worked well, when it was tested later that night. And I put mine in the dryer, no shrinking, but it takes two full cycles to dry! And that is with an extra spin cycle in the washer. But I love the sheet. I use it in addition to a hospital bed pad, as its easier then washing and drying the full sheet every day. But I know my mattress is safe.

I use dreft detergent and always wash on the gentle cycle. It keeps getting softer but not stretched and no stains dreft couldn't take care of :)

Hi Jessica. I by this product and love it. I put it on at night and it soaks in pretty quickly. There is no residue or greasiness on sheets like with other products. Hope this helps. I can't read the second question very well so I have only answered the first one.

Try a Fels Naptha laundry bar. I had one in the house because I have to wash baseball clothes for my son and after throwing my liner in the wash with bleach, it was still very noticeably mildewy. I rubbed it with the bar and scrubbed it and it looked much better after. I've got it in for another heavy wash now and hopefully it'll be even better.

We use them a lot with stray cats and wildlife--I use unscented laundry detergent, and throw them in my washer on a regular cycle-sometimes, a gentle cycle depending on how many I am washing-I use a warm/warm or a hot/cold water setting-then I dry in the dryer, no scented sheets or fabric softeners and I set the dryer on a gentle or no wrinkle--they dry really really fast so keep an eye on them, if not I air dry and it does not take long--they come out a bit softer but clean and just as insulating and warming as before. Hope this helps youPatricia
