How To Clean a Mattress Like a Pro!

If you can’t remember when you cleaned your mattress, it’s probably time to do it. A lot of nasty things that can get into it, including sweat, dirt, dead skin, and dust mites. In this post, we’ll explain how to clean a mattress, get rid of stains, and keep it clean.

How To Deep Clean Your Mattress?

Regular cleaning can help extend the life of your mattress, reduce allergens and improve the overall air quality in your home. Follow the steps below to get rid of stains & odours.

Step 1. Strip your mattress of blankets & sheets

Remove all sheets, pillowcases, blankets and mattress protector, if you use one. It’s a good time to wash all your bedding while you work on the mattress. Depending on the type of the pillow, you may be able to wash it as well. Check the label for washing instructions.

Step 2. Vacuum the mattress

Vacuuming will remove dust, hair, dead skin, and other debris. And don’t overlook the cracks and crevices around the seams. Those are the favourite hangouts for dust mites, bed bugs and their buddies..

Step 3. Spot-clean your mattress

Do not rub the spill, as this can push it into the mattress. If there is a biological stain, spray an enzyme cleaner onto a white cloth and blot the stained area. After that, apply cold water to a different cloth and continue blotting.

Step 4. Sprinkle baking soda all over the mattress

Sprinkle baking soda and leave it for several hours. It is an effective tool for breaking down the acid & absorbing remaining moisture.

Step 5. Vacuum again

 Once soda has worked its magic, vacuum your mattress.

Step 6. Let the mattress air out

 Moisture that is trapped inside can lead to mould which will be extremely difficult to remove. Once your mattress is fully dry, cover it with a protector.

How To Remove a Stain from a Mattress?

When it comes to treating mattress stains, it’s crucial to clean them immediately to prevent stains from setting and mould from growing. The best stain remover for the job depends on the type of stain.

  • For organic matter, an enzyme cleaner can help break down organic proteins.
  • For sweat stains, you can use a combination of vinegar and baking soda.

Always do a spot test if you’re concerned that the cleaner may bleach your mattress. And by hiring a professional mattress cleaning company, you can ensure that the job will be done to the highest standards.

Protecting The Mattress

Most mattresses last about 7 to 10 years when properly cared for. However, they can quickly become a breeding ground for bacteria and allergens. Here are a couple of tips that will help to create a healthy home environment.

Tip # 1: Flip or rotate your mattress every three to six months

 If you use a mattress that doesn’t have a designated top and bottom, turn it over. If you have them, rotate the mattress 180 degrees.

Tip #2: Use a mattress protector

Use a cover that’s machine-washable so you can clean it as needed, or every 3 to 6 months.

Tip #3: Change your sheets once a week

Dead skin is the favourite food for dust mites, so keeping it to a minimum will cut down the dust mite population. If you have any questions about cleaning, we’d love to hear them.

Were you aware that you can heat a sponge?

Not for culinary purposes, but for cleaning! Place a moist sponge in the microwave for two minutes to eliminate germs and extend the lifespan of your sponge. Ensure the sponge is thoroughly wet, as a dry one could pose a fire hazard.
