How to clean your mattress: our handy tips to get your mattress clean again!
1. Vacuuming: get rid of that dust!
Think of your mattress as a sponge that soaks up everything. Dust, skin cells, maybe even a few crumbs from that breakfast in bed (we got you!). Time to get the vacuum cleaner out:
- Strip your bed down to the mattress.
- Grab your vacuum cleaner with the special mattress head. No special head? A regular brush will do wonders.
- Go wild on that mattress! Suck every nook and cranny.
- Don't forget the sides, that's where most of the dust hides. Removing all dust from your mattress is very important.
2. Freshen up with baking soda
Baking soda is a miracle cure. It absorbs odors like a sponge. Here’s how to do it:
- Sprinkle a thin layer of baking soda over your mattress. Think of a light snowfall, not a blizzard!
- Let it work its magic for at least 30 minutes. If you have the time, let it sit overnight.
- Vacuum up the baking soda. Tadaa! A fresh mattress.
3. Tackle stains
Oops! Accidents happen. Whether it’s coffee, sweat or something else, we’ll help you get rid of them. Here are our top tips for each stain:
Sweat stains: fresh in no time
Sweat is a tough opponent. But don't worry, we have the solution:
- Mix equal parts water and white vinegar.
- Gently dab the stain. Do not rub, this will only push the stain deeper!
- Let it dry and repeat if necessary.
Urine stains: don't panic!
A late-night accident or a pet that got lost? Here’s how to handle it:
- Dab the stain dry. Use a clean, absorbent cloth for this.
- Mix one part vinegar with one part water.
- Sprinkle this mixture lightly over the stain. Do not soak!
- Let it soak for 15 minutes.
- Pat it dry and sprinkle baking soda over it.
- Let this do its work for a few hours and then vacuum it up.
Blood stains: tackle them with a cool head
Blood can be tricky, but not impossible:
- Use cold water. Warm water will fix the stain!
- Add a mild soap and pat gently.
- For stubborn stains: try a paste of salt and cold water.
Coffee stains: wake up!
Morning coffee in bed seemed like a good idea, until now:
- Immediately blot the stain with a clean, damp cloth.
- Make a paste of baking soda and water.
- Apply this to the stain and let it dry.
- Suck up the dry paste and admire the result.
4. Deep cleansing: fresh to the core
Sometimes your mattress needs a little extra love. A steam cleaner can do wonders. But be careful: check first if your mattress can handle it!
- Fill the steam cleaner with clean water. No soap needed!
- Move slowly over the surface. Don't rush, Rome wasn't built in a day.
- Let your mattress dry thoroughly before sleeping on it again. Nobody likes a wet sleep stain!
