The mattress is an element very important inside any home. In it, we spend a large part of our lives resting and sleeping, but despite that, it is not usually cleaned and disinfected as it should. A mattress perfectly clean and in good condition it helps a pleasant rest and prevents future respiratory diseases related to dust or mites. Next I'm going to teach you disinfect and clean your mattress.
Take the mattress outdoors
The first thing you have to do if you want to thoroughly clean your mattress is to take it out and let it air out well. The sun's rays will help to deodorize the mattress in a natural and perfect way.
Use the vacuum cleaner
To remove all the dust and dead cells from the mattress, the best is to use the vacuum cleaner. Press well to remove as much dirt as you can.
Remove stains
Most of the stains on the mattress are usually the result of bodily fluids such as sweat. To remove these stains, it is best to use cold water. In the event that it is something that there is some blood, the best is hydrogen peroxide. For normal stains you can use a little detergent and rub well or make a paste based on bicarbonate and water.
Disinfect the mattress
It is recommended that you disinfect the mattress at least a couple of times a year. To do this, take the mattress out of the room and use an upholstery steamer. You can also use a little vinegar mixed in equal parts with water.
Eliminate bad odors
To end bad odors, the best is the sodium bicarbonate. Sprinkle all over the mattress and let it sit for half an hour to absorb all the odors. Then, breathe in completely and put a few drops of lavender to give it a pleasant fragrance.
Don't forget to wash the sheets once a week and you will have your mattress perfectly clean and ready for you to rest.
