🧼 Why Should You Clean Your Mattress Regularly?

• Improves Air Quality in the Bedroom
  
  

• Reduces Allergens and Dust Mites
  
  

• Eliminates Odors and Stains
  
  

• Extends the Life of Your Mattress
  
  

Experts recommend deep cleaning your mattress every 3 to 6 months for optimal hygiene.

🧽 What You’ll Need:

• Vacuum cleaner with upholstery attachment
  
  

• Baking soda
  
  

• Mild detergent or dish soap
  
  

• White vinegar (optional)
  
  

• Spray bottle
  
  

• Soft brush or cloth
  
  

• Essential oils (optional for fragrance)
  
  

✅ Step-by-Step Mattress Cleaning Process:

1. Strip the Bed

Remove all bedding, pillowcases, mattress protectors, and covers. Wash them in hot water to eliminate dust mites and allergens.

2. Vacuum Thoroughly

Use the upholstery attachment to vacuum the entire surface of the mattress. Pay attention to seams, corners, and edges where dust and debris can collect.

3. Spot Clean Stains

For fresh or older stains:

• Mix mild dish soap with warm water.
  
  

• Dip a cloth in the solution and gently blot the stained area.
  
  

• For stubborn stains (like urine or sweat), mix equal parts of water and vinegar, spray lightly, and blot with a clean cloth.
  
  

⚠️ Avoid soaking the mattress—excess moisture can lead to mold growth.

4. Deodorize with Baking Soda

Sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda across the mattress surface. Let it sit for at least 4–6 hours (or overnight if possible) to absorb odors and moisture.

💡 Optional: Mix a few drops of lavender or tea tree essential oil with baking soda for a fresh scent and antimicrobial benefits.

5. Vacuum Again

After the baking soda has done its job, vacuum it off thoroughly. This will leave your mattress fresh and clean.

6. Air It Out

If possible, let the mattress sit near sunlight or in a well-ventilated area to dry completely and kill off any remaining bacteria.

🛡️ Extra Tips:

• Use a Waterproof Mattress Protector to prevent spills and stains.
  
  

• Flip or Rotate the Mattress every 3 months to ensure even wear.
  
  

• Steam Cleaning (Optional): For a deeper clean, steam cleaning can be done carefully, but make sure the mattress dries thoroughly.
