Get Healthy and Hygienic Mattress With These Effective Tips
Do you know beneath the comfortable layers of your mattress, lies an ecosystem of bacteria, viruses, moulds and pests?
Sounds gross! Hence, cleaning your mattress is essential to ensure these allergens don’t stand a chance to thrive and survive. Additionally, cleaning mattresses also prevent the build-up of dead skin cells and dust mites offering you healthy conditions for a good night’s sleep.
Here are a few simple and practical cleaning tips to keep your mattress immaculate and fresh as new:
1: Vacuum every part of the mattress to pull out the tiny particles like dust, dust mites, dead skin, hair and other debris. You can use the extended upholstery nozzle to reach within the crevices, seams and sides.
2: Apply baking soda to get rid of any mattress odours. Sprinkle a generous quantity of baking soda on the top of your mattress and gently scrub it around with a brush. This will let the baking soda sink into the fabric and absorb the foul smell. Vacuum it all up after half an hour.
3: Clean the mattress using a homemade cleaning solution. Preparing this solution is easy - Take a cup of warm water and mix one teaspoon of liquid detergent. Now lightly apply this solution on the mattress and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Then, scrub the mattress with a damp towel. Put the mattress out in the sun to make the mattress completely moisture free.
Pro-tip: Never drench your mattress with the cleaning liquid! The excessive amount of cleaning fluid can lead to mould and mildew buildup.
