Deep cleaning your mattress at home can help remove dust, allergens, and stains. Following these steps regularly can help maintain a clean and fresh mattress for a better night’s sleep.
Strip the Bed: Remove all bedding, including sheets, pillowcases, and mattress protectors.
Vacuum: Use a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment to thoroughly vacuum the mattress surface, paying attention to seams, edges, and crevices.
Spot The Stains: Treat any stains with a mild detergent mixed with water. Blot the stains gently with a clean cloth, but avoid soaking the mattress.
Deodorize: Sprinkle baking soda over the entire surface of the mattress and let it sit for several hours, or ideally overnight. Baking soda helps absorb odors.
Vacuum Again: After allowing the baking soda to sit, vacuum the mattress again to remove the baking soda along with any trapped odors.
Flip or Rotate: If your mattress is reversible, flip or rotate it to ensure even wear and tear.
Air Out: If possible, let the mattress air out in a well-ventilated area, preferably in direct sunlight, to help kill bacteria and freshen it up.
Cover with Protection: Once the mattress is fully dry, cover it with a mattress protector to help keep it clean and prolong its lifespan.
