Join us as we embark on a journey to rejuvenate our mattresses, ensuring that they remain not only comfortable but also conducive to a restful and revitalizing night’s sleep.
Here are some practical steps to clean your mattress naturally and efficiently:
Preparation: Begin by washing your linens, including the mattress cover, and use high temperatures to kill dust mites and bed bugs
Consider adding eucalyptus or clove essential oils to your laundry for extra mite-fighting power.
Surface Cleaning: Vacuum the mattress thoroughly, paying attention to the edges and using vertical motions to remove debris and dust.
Stain Removal: For stubborn stains like urine, blood, or sweat, create a cleaning solution using hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and dish detergent.
Apply the paste to the stained area, allow it to dry, then blot with a clean cloth soaked in hydrogen peroxide to lift the stain.
Deodorizing: Freshen up your mattress by making a natural air freshener with baking soda and lavender essential oil.
