The Healthy Way To Clean Your Mattress

One of the most important things that you need to clean is simple, your mattress. It’s easy to forget this. Many people just go through life sleeping on their mattress, without ever considering cleaning. The problem with this is that a lot of elements get into the mattress fabrics. This includes sweat, dead skin, and more. This can go forward for years, without any cleaning. Don’t panic. You can clean your mattress with relative ease, if you know what to do. The following will help you get things done the right way, so that you’re not having to deal with the elements that could build up in your mattress over time.

First Things First 

Before you start cleaning, you need to make sure that you take your linens and bedding off of your mattress. You need to ensure that you leave it barren.  Once you do this, you will need to just lightly brush things off with an upholstery brush. This will get some of the loose fibers from the top, and you can vacuum that up on your flooring. You want to make sure that you brush everything off of the top first. After you do that, you’ll be ready to move forward with a little more cleaning.

For the linens, you should make sure that you wash them at high heat. Your washing machine’s “hot” element will help you no doubt. It’s recommended that you wash linens at no less than 130 degrees for cleaning things.

As for your mattress, you will need to clean the foam and elements with a mix of detergent and liquid dishwashing soap. Mix these things with water, and use it to spot clean stains, and lightly scrub areas without soaking things. Utilize a little baking soda too, and you can deodorize as you clean up spots. It’s tempting to utilize cleaners that you can buy over the counter, but they are not going to help you out too well. They are harsh, and can soak into the mattress.

After Cleaning

After you’ve focused on cleaning, you will want to look into a good hypoallergenic set of pillowcases, and mattress pad. This will help you out overall. Wash your linens regularly, and focus on this cleaning process every few months to ensure that you are getting things cleared up with ease. As long as you keep things up every few months, you’ll ensure that your mattress is safe, and sound.
