You don’t think about it but you spend about a third of your life on your mattress. So, why wouldn’t you want to make sure it’s clean? Cleaning your mattress a few times a year has quite a few benefits. Those benefits include better sleep, your mattress will last longer, and most importantly, it keeps pest infestations away!
So, how do you go about cleaning your mattress? These are 4 easy steps to follow:
Step 1
Strip your mattress of all sheets and bedding. Immediately put those in the washer and wash on the hottest water setting. Dry them on the hottest setting as well.
Step 2
Vacuum your mattress surface. Be sure to pay attention to seams and crevices. This is where the dirt collects!
Step 3
Deodorize your mattress. Do this by sprinkling baking soda over your entire mattress. Don’t be afraid to use an entire box. For best results you will want to leave the baking soda on for 24 hours. Yes, 24 hours! So, you will want to plan accordingly when cleaning your mattress.
Step 4
Vacuum up the baking soda and then you are finished! All that is left to do is to put your bedding back on!
Note – if you don’t have a mattress cover, you may want to consider purchasing one. A mattress cover helps protect your mattress by giving it an extra layer!
By doing this a couple times a year, your body will thank you since you will get a better sleep and it will also prolong the need to buy a new mattress!
Until next time – Happy Cleaning!
