How To Clean a Mattress

Weekly Spring Cleaning Tip #2

Ditch the dust

The easiest way to remove dust is to use the upholstery tool on your vacuum cleaner. It's a good idea to do this every couple of months or more often if someone is the family suffers with allergies. Go over the top and sides of the mattress and as much of the box spring as you can access. Press down firmly on the tool to draw out dust beneath the fabric's surface. Then use the crevice tool to get into the quilting, along the edge welting, and where any pillow top is attached.

Yellow Stains?

It's likely from a build-up of sweat and body oils. While it's difficult to wet clean an entire mattress and you never want to fully saturate it, you can try to whiten it with a 50/50 mix (one cup each) of hydrogen peroxide and warm water plus 1/4 teaspoon mild dish liquid. Pour this solution into a spray bottle and spritz mattress surface. Work it into the fabric with a soft brush or terry towel and let set about 30 minutes. Spritz the mattress again with clear water to rinse, blot well to remove all traces of the cleaner, and let it air dry completely. For tough stains, repeat or add a little more hydrogen peroxide to the solution.

Kill the odor

Whenever you notice any stale smells, spray the mattress and box spring with a disinfecting spray, like Lysol. It's safe to use on fabric and kills bacteria that causes odors. To quickly freshen your mattress between deep cleanings, sprinkle someArm & Hammer Baking Soda onto the fabric, brush it in lightly, wait 15 minutes, and vacuum.
