Clean your mattress regularly to reduce the buildup of dead skin cells, dust mites and other irritants. This can lead to hay fever, allergies and other respiratory problems. Cleaning your mattress regularly also helps keep it free of odors, stains and fungi.
Use a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment to remove all the dirt and dust from the surface, bottom and sides of your mattress. It may also help to vacuum the area between the box spring and your mattress. Vacuuming helps to get rid of pet hair, dust mites and other debris that can be a health hazard if not removed regularly.
You can use a solution of water and white vinegar to clean your mattress, too. This is an effective disinfectant that can also remove stains and odours, like vomit.
*Stain Remover Substitute: If you don’t have any stain remover, you can easily make your own at home by mixing two parts hydrogen peroxide and one part dish soap in a bowl of warm water. Simply spray it onto the soiled area of your mattress and leave it for 30 minutes or so. You can then rinse and dry the area with a towel to prevent the stain from reoccurring.
Baking soda is a common product that can be used to get rid of stains and odors from spilled liquids on carpets, furniture and mattresses. It works well at absorbing the excess moisture, so you can get rid of blood stains, wine and fruit juices, for example.
Rinse the mattress thoroughly with a sponge and water to remove any residue left behind from the stain remover. Then, air it out to dry thoroughly before putting it back in your bed.
This is a great method for removing odours from sweat, body oil and other things that have accumulated on your mattress. The odours will dissipate quickly as they are drawn to the baking soda and vinegar.
The baking soda and vinegar mix can also be applied to hard-to-remove stains. For instance, blood and urine stains can be difficult to remove because they’re dried on once they hit the surface of your mattress.
A good mattress cleaner can help you achieve a sparkling and fresh new appearance without the hassle of scrubbing or buying a specialty cleaning product. Some products have enzymes that can break down and remove stains, and others eliminate odors.
Another option is to spray a commercial cleaning product directly on the soiled area and allow it to work its magic. You can buy mattress cleaners at most stores and they should come with instructions on how to use them.
If you’re unsure of the best way to clean your mattress, you can always ask a professional mattress cleaning service for advice. They’ll be able to provide you with recommendations and tips that will help your mattress look and smell brand new again.
Using a vacuum and a cleaning solution can help you remove dust and other small particles from your mattress, but it’s still important to thoroughly wipe your mattress down with a damp cloth to ensure that all of the grime is removed. Leaving any leftover debris can cause mold to grow and create a breeding ground for bacteria.
