Cleaning a mattress – 7 things to do – 3 things not to do!

How to clean a mattress: 7 things to do and 3 things not to do! :

1. Flip your mattress 180 degrees.

2. Remove any small stains with a mixture of a mild detergent solution mixed with water. Be sure to air dry the area before making the bed.

3. Use large, thirsty towels to soak up any large liquid stains. Be sure to dry the mattress in the open air or with a portable electric fan. Make sure the entire surface of your mattress is completely dry. This step is extremely important.

4. Use a special mattress cleaner making sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for stubborn stains. Don’t forget to test a small part of the fabric first.

5. Take advantage of the use of a mattress cover. Mattress covers get rid of bed bugs!

6. Get into the habit of turning the mattress every 3 months or so and do your best to vacuum it.

7. Take advantage of a mattress protector to eliminate the need for additional mattress cleaning. As you can see, it is much easier to clean a mattress protector than it is to clean a mattress. It makes life easier, that’s for sure.

3 things not to do when cleaning a mattress:

1. Never use any type of dry cleaning solution when cleaning your mattress.

2. Avoid using baking soda on a wet mattress because it will start to form a paste that can be quite difficult to clean.

3. Do not put your mattress in the washing machine. It is best to clean with a hose or in a bathtub. Be sure to close the valve while washing. For general cleaning, it is best to scrub quickly with Formula 409®, BioClean ™ All Purpose Cleaner, or another general household cleaner.

For very dirty mattresses, I recommend buying a new mattress. Obviously it will be worth it. Do you know a good mattress store? Do your homework, especially online, to find a reliable store near where you live. Start Googling and learn the importance of having a good mattress for health benefits.

Don’t just visit any store in your local area. Make sure you go for one that has free delivery along with the setup. Ask about their moving policy and also if they have a fast next day delivery service.
