How to clean a mattress at home: without harming the mattress and people

Stains and odors from the mattress can, of course, be removed by contacting a dry cleaner. But it is not necessary at all – you can clean it with your own hands.

What not to use for cleaning the mattress

If you are going to clean the mattress at home, beware of products that give strong foam.

The thing is that the foam literally eats into the surface you are cleaning, which makes it very difficult to remove. If you do not manage to get rid of the foam, it is quite possible that an allergy will appear.

Bleaching agents are also prohibited, especially those that contain chlorine: firstly, they have a pungent smell, and secondly, they lead to to the destruction of synthetic fibers.

How to clean a mattress

First, vacuum it from all sides. It will be better if you do it with a construction vacuum cleaner.

For cleaning the mattress, an ordinary washing powder or other detergent is suitable, which should be diluted in 70-80 degree water.

The proportions are as follows : about 1 teaspoon of detergent per liter of water. The resulting mixture should be poured into a spray bottle and applied to the contaminated areas.

Alternatively, use an ordinary sponge to apply the product. The main thing is not to rub the fabric, so that no coils form.

After that, remove the foam with special microfiber cloths.
