Cleaning a matress is more than about what it looks like. You also want to make sure that you deodorize a mattress as well. Not only that, but you have to make sure you take care of anything like bed bug threats. You want to make sure that the bed bugs don't bite. Mattresses that aren't cleaned regularly are going to contain all kinds of bodily fluids from being used over and over again. That is why hotels often flip mattresses to make sure that they stay fresh. Check out these tips for cleaning mattresses properly and keeping them well maintained.
Naturally, you are going to have to make sure that bed linens and everything else are off of the mattress prior to doing any cleaning. Do you use a mattress pad or a mattress topper? If so, you want to take that off, too, and you want to clean it and dry it properly. After you have done that, you can get to the actual cleaning of the mattress.
One thing you can do is to vacuum the mattress. That's just the beginning of course, as there will be other steps to take as well. You want to make sure you do a thorough vacuum job because you want to get in all of those crevices. You may be thinking to clean both sides of the mattress, but the experts say that you can do one side at a time and for a reason. So for now, just vacuum the mattress as is, and then you can move on to the next step.
What you want to do next is to deodorize the mattress. How do you do that you ask? Well, you use baking soda. It's quite a simple and effective process, and guess what you get to do once you are done? You get to vacuum the mattress once again. You may be wondering why that step is necessary. Well, the baking soda helps pull out body fluids, and they attach together, which means the vacuuming is going to get more of the dirt that needs to come out of and off of the mattress.
You may think that you can just put off the vacuuming until the second round only, but you need to vacuum first, too, before applying the baking soda. Next, you need to remove any stains that you see, and there are certain ways of doing that. After you have removed to the stains, you are to the point where it is time to flip the mattress.
Guess what you get to do now? It is time to repeat all the steps mentioned above. Wouldn't it be easier to do it all at once? Yes, but it wouldn't be as effective. Lastly, you want to be sure that you keep that mattress protected because that will make it much easier to clean it the next time around. It's a good thing you don't have to worry about cleaning the mattresses in your home very often, right?
