Spot Cleaning Egg Crate Foam

• When you need to clean your egg crate foam pad, simply spray it with an appropriate cleaner and blot clean. Hydrogen peroxide or oxy-based cleaners are a good choice. You might prefer a mix of baking soda, water and lemon juice as a spray cleaner. Once you have applied any liquid to the egg crate, it will need ample time to dry. Never cover the egg crate until it is dry to avoid mildewing.
  
  

Drying and Airing Egg Crate Foam

• To dry the foam egg crate, simply leave it on a flat surface to dry. If working indoors, placing it under a ceiling fan or vent will expedite drying. If you over-saturated it during spot cleaning, use a small wet-dry vac to suck out some of the excess moisture. Airing the foam crate outdoors is a good way to eliminate odors. Lie it on a picnic table or on a sheet in the yard.
  
  

Protecting Egg Crate Foam

• To avoid the need for extensive cleaning, protect the foam egg crate from possible soiling. A waterproof pad is a good choice for protection. After laying the egg crate pad on your bed, cover it with a sheet and then a layer of waterproof padding. You can use a small waterproof pad in selected areas (like the lower body) instead of covering the whole foam egg crate.
  
  

Buying Egg Crate Foam

• Egg crate foam is sold in many retail and online stores. Since egg crate foam is impossible to launder, buying used foam pads is not recommended. The prices of egg crate foam vary based on the thickness and bedding size of it. Search for egg crate foam in the bedding department of your favorite stores. The stores may also carry a variety of memory foam mattress toppers, similar to egg crate foam with different designs.
