After
a tiresome work day what we most need is some really good rest. But! Imagine
when crashing on the bed, you see the mattress dirty. This would totally bug
you off. And not to mention – completely ruin your sleep. Hence, it is quiet
necessary to keep mattresses clean at all times.
Mattresses
are susceptible to a lot of things - dirt, dust mites, stains and a lot of
other things.
Mattresses
may follow the same process of cleaning as that of upholstery. It is very
important that you use proper cleaning products to go about with the cleaning
process.
There
are many techniques and listed below is an amalgamation of lot of these
techniques.
Follow
these basic steps:
- Vacuum the mattress/ use upholstery cleaner:
It
is very important to vacuum the mattress or clean it with upholstery cleaner.
You don’t want to leave dust particles on your mattress. These tiny dirt
particles will not only cause any stain to blot more but also lead to
unnecessary dust mites that will gather on the mattress once it is wet.
- Spray with citrus cleaner or vinegar in case of a stain:
Stains
are stubborn! The chemical bonds which cause stains are quite strong; and to
break these bonds, you need an equally strong chemical. You also need to make
sure that, the chemical you use will not ruin your mattress. One perfect
solution is a lime water mixture or vinegar.
Just spray the solution on the stain and let it set for 5 minutes, next
wipe it with a clean cloth and your stain will be gone.
- Your mattress needs a Suntan.
Some
stains are caused due to too much of moisture, if you do not have a vacuum
cleaner or a dryer than the best way to get rid of the excess moisture, mold
and mildew is by taking the mattress out on a bright sunny day and let it dry
out for a while.
- Apply baking soda and detergent to get rid of blood stains.
Blood
stains are the most difficult stains to get rid off. Make a solution of 1 part
baking soda and two parts of water and apply it over the stain and let it sit
for 30 minutes after that make a solution of 1 tablespoon of liquid dish
washing detergent with 2 cups of cold water and gently brush it over the
affected area. Next, dry the area using a dry clean cloth.
