Lycra loses it's elasticity easily, so you have to wash them carefully. Always use cold water, and make sure not to wring excess water out of them if you decide to wash them by hand. To dry it, either hang it without wringing it out or use a dryer.
Washing instructions for maternity clothes are the same as for other clothes manufactured from the same material. The washing instructions on the label should be followed.
Lycra, also known as spandex or elastane, does not have a specific melting point like traditional thermoplastics. Instead, it has a softening point at around 200°C (392°F). At elevated temperatures, Lycra can lose its elasticity and degrade rather than melt, which is important to consider when washing or drying garments made from this material.
Lycra, while popular for its stretch and comfort, has several disadvantages. It can be less breathable than natural fibers, leading to discomfort in hot weather. Additionally, lycra is not biodegradable, contributing to environmental concerns regarding plastic waste. It may also lose elasticity over time with repeated washing and exposure to heat, reducing the lifespan of garments made from it.
Depending on the type of slip cover there can be many different washing instructions. You will need to follow the instructions for your specific cover to insure your cover won't get ruined.
