Include Your Mattress In Your Home Cleaning
When you clean and sanitise your home, you’ve undoubtedly overlooked one important task: your mattress.
While it is not something that is commonly talked about, it is a fact that we lose dead skin cells while sleeping, which end up on your mattress. This can cause dust and dust mites. If you sweat a lot while sleeping or live in a humid environment, mould and mildew might grow on your mattress as well.
Allergies and asthma are aggravated by mattresses that are full of mould. Mattresses that are stained or unclean have a distinct odour as well, something that you do not need to have in your home.
Most mattresses can be cleaned and disinfected using common household items, but there are a few things to keep in mind depending on the type of mattress and the stain.
Among the most common stains are:
Food and drink
Sweat
Pet mess
There are so many people that unfortunately make the decision to not follow best practices when cleaning their mattress, and as a result, they damage it unknowingly.
The most important thing to remember when cleaning a mattress, regardless of its type, is to avoid getting it too wet. Mould can grow in mattresses if water seeps through.
Top Tips On How To Clean Your Mattress
Gather The Items For Cleaning
You’ll need a few items now that you’ve decided it’s time to clean your mattress.
What you’ll need is the following:
Attachment for vacuum cleaner
Soap or detergent for dishes
Cloths/sponge for cleaning
Soda (baking)
Water that is ice cold
Microfibre towels are great to ensure that you avoid mould growth, it’s especially vital to absorb all liquids (or as much as you can) when washing your mattress.
Unmake The Bed
Remove all of your bedding, including any mattress pads, toppers, or protectors, before you begin cleaning your mattress. Put all of your linens, blankets, pillowcases, and comforters in a hot wash of at least 130 degrees to ensure that you destroy any bacteria and remove all dust.
Did you know: You shouldn’t just be washing your pillowcases – your pillows themselves require washing every 4 months. ALWAYS follow the guidelines for washing and drying.
Vacuum Your Mattress
Vacuums always have an upholstery attachment. Make sure that you vacuum the whole surface of the mattress. A Lot of nasties live in your mattress and this is a great way to get them out.
Pay special care to the wrinkles if you have a mattress with creases or a pillow top, the reason being is that they are a place that is more likely to accumulate masses.
Remove Odours
It’s a good idea to deodorise your mattress while you’re cleaning it, you can do this by sprinkling baking soda on your mattress. This household staple is an all-natural cleaning method that actually absorbs odours and cleans just about anything. Best practice is to leave this on for a few hours and then vacuum it off for a fresh mattress.
Most Commonly Asked Questions
Can I Steam My Mattress?
A fabric steamer can technically be used to steam your mattress. This, however, can result in unwanted moisture leaking into your mattress, which can lead to mould growth – it is an approach with caution tactic for cleaning your mattress.
How Can I Keep My Mattress Clean?
There is no way to keep your mattress clean when you are actively using it for sleeping, a guest bedroom mattress that is barely used would require less cleaning. You can use a mattress protector and wash your bedding on a regular basis to maintain your mattress as clean as possible, but a deeper clean is recommended every 4 months for optimum freshness and lifespan.
Treat Your Mattress Like Your House
Cleaning your mattress, like cleaning the rest of your house, may be a time-consuming but necessary task—especially when millions of dust mites may be sharing your bed with you every night! Cleaning your mattress on a regular basis will help reduce allergy symptoms, keep your bed clean, and extend the life of your mattress as well.
