Heating Pad Care
Cleaning
Spot-clean your heating pad as needed with a damp cloth and mild detergent and towel dry immediately after cleaning.
Do not soak or submerge it in water. Immersing in water will affect the integrity of the flaxseeds and void the possibility of returning your damaged heating pad.
Store Properly
To maintain freshness and protect from dust and moisture, store your heating pad in the provided ziptop bag in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Avoid Overheating
When you heat your heating pad, please follow the instructions to avoid overheating. Overheating can scorch the fabric and flaxseeds, cause the heating pad to become too hot, and put you at risk of being burnt.
Damage caused due to overheating voids the possibility of returning your damaged heating pad.

Flaxseeds May Shift
The flaxseeds within your heating pad will shift over time and could become uneven. Before each use, check to ensure the flaxseeds are evenly distributed so your heating pad may heat or cool effectively.
Inspect As Needed
Check your heating pad regularly for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice any damage, discontinue use and make repairs. If it’s time to replace your heating pad, go to our online shop at mymahana.co.nz to purchase a new one.
Refresh Regularly
Over time, the heating properties of the natural oils may diminish. To rejuvenate your heating pad, place it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes on a low heat setting, allowing the seeds to absorb moisture and regain their warmth.
