The trick to cleaning a mattress: eliminate stains, dust mites and bad odor

Regular maintenance of your mattress and bedding is essential and prolongs their life. Dust, stains, dust mites… So many reasons to take care of your mattress and keep it clean and healthy. At night we are not very gentle with him, not even the rest of the day… Urine stains, blood or even yellow stains, we show you how to get rid of them to find a clean and pleasant mattress that promotes a peaceful sleep.

Vacuuming every now and then is far from enough to clean our mattresses. And not surprisingly, the latter become a fertile ground for dirt:   body oils, mites, sweat, stains of all kinds   and sometimes even mold caused by humidity. Let’s see how to put an end to this problem.

How to clean a mattress naturally and effectively?

For quick and effective cleaning we recommend using   hydrogen peroxide and sodium bicarbonate  . To do this :

1. Pour 2 tablespoons of baking soda and ½ cup of hydrogen peroxide into a spray bottle and add a few drops of essential oil of your choice.
2. Spray the cleaner on the mattress and let it sit for 3 hours;
3. Then scrub it with a towel or small brush;
4. Allow to air dry;
5. As for the remaining residue, just do a little vacuuming.

Actions to take for effective and methodical cleaning of the mattress

To get started, first   wash your bed sheets  . For this reason it is best to start by washing the mattress cover before moving on to the sheet and bedspread. As you put your sheets in the dryer, turn on a hot setting   to kill any bed bugs   and dust mites that have had time to infect your bedding.

Still on the topic of eliminating dust mites, feel free to add eucalyptus or clove essential oils to your laundry during the wash. If you prefer to use a spray for convenience, you can integrate the oils into it to   spray the mattress and put an end to the mites that infest the bedding.

In addition to washing, vacuuming the mattress surface is the other step that should not be overlooked. To do this, vacuum with straight and vertical movements from top to bottom. Of course,   don’t neglect the sides of the mattress.
