How to clean a mosquito net
Cleaning your mosquito net is crucial to maintain its effectiveness and longevity. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it right.
But first, check the material! Before anything else, identify whether your mosquito net is made of polyester or cotton. This is crucial as it determines the cleaning process.
Polyester mosquito nets
- Washing Machine Friendly: Yes, you can put polyester mosquito nets in the washing machine.
- Temperature Setting: Ensure the temperature is set to a maximum of 30°C.
- Drying: Never use a dryer. Instead, hang it out to air dry.

Additional tips and tricks
While cleaning is crucial, here are some additional tips to maintain your mosquito net:

Now, a joke
Jack tells his friend Joey that he killed 6 mosquitoes last night. Joey says cool. Jack says 3 male and 3 female. Joey asks how do you know? Jack says 3 were hanging on the TV, 3 on the mirror. Joey says nothing…
Of course, humor is subjective. Always been, always will be. But think of funny jokes about mosquitoes for a moment. Do you have one? Hard right?
You wanna know why? We are not fond of mosquitoes. Never been, never will be. That’s why Bambulah created for you irresistible mosquito nets to keep them outside. And not to have a night like Jack’s.
To conclude, can we put mosquito nets in a washing machine?
After enjoying your fairy tale bug-free sleeping experience sponsored by Bambulah for some time, you will have to clean your bed canopy. But you can only put the polyester mosquito nets in the washing machine, maximum temperature 30°C.
If you have a cotton mosquito net, you cannot put it in the washer. You must wash it by hand in cold water. You don’t need to buy a special detergent for it, any detergent will do.
Just make sure, the water is cold and you rinse it well. If you need to clean a double bed mosquito net, the procedure is the same.
Never put the mosquito net in the dryer!
It’s very important that you never put the net in the dryer, it will damage it. Also best not to use a vacuum cleaner to take away the dust, only if your vacuum cleaner has a so called ‘steam function’.
