Is it okay to use bleach to wash the white bassinet pad?

I would do so carefully, as the fabric is really porous. It depends on how sensitive your baby's skin is. Dilute it well. But it won't hurt the fabric, no.

I typically throw the dirty pads in the washing machine with a load of light colored or white towels. I use hot water, my regular laundry detergent and 1 or 2 generous scoops of Oxiclean instead of bleach (and no fabric softener). I know for certain the Oxiclean makes a big difference because my daughter does not use Oxiclean and her mop pads are a dingy gray and mine are much whiter. They will never be as clean and white again like they were when they were brand new, right out of the box but I feel like they are "clean enough," and I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that they are far cleaner and much more sanitary than the old traditional sponge mop I was using before!

The pad is white :)It's probably a good idea to use something under the baby or get a washable cover anyway, the thing is lovely and wipes clean well but it is much easier to clan up a piece of cloth or cover than the thing itself.

I don't think I'd attempt using bleach on this beautiful seat. My housekeeper uses an eco-friendly all-purpose anti-bacterial spray cleaner and it keeps the seats sparkling clean (I have 3 resin seats in my home).

hand wash in the sink, hang to let air dry. No bleach. I used antibacterial hand soap...Also, as I wore a tank top under the binder, and had more than one binder so I could trade off, I didn't have to wash as often.

I use bleach and always run it through the wash more than once... At least two washes in a row. The first time with bleach, the second time with just detergent.

I have not yet used this applicatior, but I think the pad can be cleaned by washing it with soap and water.

I use a damp sponge that has been lightly sprayed with Lysol disinfectant spray. We've had the one in the master bath for several months, and it looks as new as it did when it arrived. I don't know if bleach would do any damage to the finish or not. Hope this is helpful.

The manufacturer provides laundering instructions on a card which also spells out the 5 year warranty. I put it in my laundry room to refer to when I need to launder it.They say to wash with a mild detergent in cold to warm water. Do not use bleach or bleach detergent. Line drying is preferred but if necessary tumble dry on low or no heat.Do not dry mattress pad at temperatures higher than 125 degrees FDo not iron. Failure to follow these instructions will void the mattress pad warranty.Hope this helps.

throw it in the dish washer... it says its dishwasher safe :)i would definitely not use clorox or any bleach like suggested above, not safe for babies!

I used a bleach solution on mine until I realized it was too harsh for baby's skin (rash). I now use the Method brand sanitizing cleanser. The material is very durable.

I washed mine with my diapers in Seventh Generation liquid detergent. It doesn't leave a residue and is sensitive to baby's skin.

The instructions say not to use bleach. I just got mine and the fact that I can't use bleach on it bothers me a little because it seems that just water wouldn't sanitize it.

I add a little bleach to the wash; sometimes a splash of vinegar. My pads turn out clean and ready to go.

Sure. I wouldn't see a problem with it. Just sun bleach them in occasion. (To sun bleach set the diapers in the sun while wet and allow to dry. You can repeat this multiple times and it will remove the stains. Just don't put them in the dryer while stained or it will set the stain.)

I am not certain re: the bleach. If you do I would recommend a good flushing out of unit with fresh water after the application of mild bleach.DJ
