A decent mattress doesn’t come cheap, so it makes sense that if you’re going to make the investment, you want it to last. With this in mind, you need to know how to clean your mattress properly! Regular cleaning not only ensures your mattress lasts but also maintains a healthier sleep environment, especially if you have pets or enjoy midnight snacks in bed.

Cleaning your mattress might seem daunting, but fear not! It's simpler than you think. Here’s our step-by-step guide to keep your mattress clean and cozy for years to come.

First things first, gather your toolkit:

  • Vacuum with an upholstery attachment
  • Enzyme cleaner or dish soap for stains
  • Laundry detergent
  • Baking soda
  • Cleaning cloths
  • Cold water

Next, strip the bed and wash all sheets and pillowcases in hot water. Now, let's dive into the cleaning process.

Start by vacuuming the entire surface of the mattress, including the sides, using the upholstery attachment. Pay special attention to seams and use a crevice attachment for hidden dirt.

For stains, avoid soaking the mattress. Instead, spot-clean with an enzyme cleaner. Spray the cleaner onto a clean cloth, blot the stained area, then use cold water on a different cloth to continue blotting until the stain lifts.

Now, sprinkle baking soda over the mattress surface. If possible, leave it on for several hours or overnight to absorb moisture and odors. Open windows to let sunlight in, as UV rays help kill bacteria.

After the baking soda treatment, vacuum the mattress again, including any fabric headboard if you have one.

Consider flipping the mattress and repeating the process on the other side, unless advised otherwise by the manufacturer.

To prevent future stains and protect your investment, consider using a mattress protector. These affordable covers can deter bedbugs and extend the cleanliness of your mattress.

With these steps, you can ensure your mattress remains fresh, clean, and comfortable for years to come. Happy snoozing!
