Refresh yours every three months for happy and healthy sleep
Use warm water
Gently brush a mixture of soap and warm water on the mattress and let it sit for four hours before brushing it off. Don’t pour all of the water directly on to the mattress, especially if there’s mould, as it can make the problem worse.
Vacuum regularly
While a deep clean is needed every three to six months to prevent dust mites and mould, there’s no harm in vacuuming on a weekly basis to get rid of dust on the mattress.
Sprinkle baking soda
After putting the bedding in the wash, sprinkle baking soda over the mattress to absorb excess moisture from within it. Then hoover up the remaining particles before putting the bedding back on.
Use alcohol to remove mould
Isopropyl or mould spray helps to scrub the mould off. If it’s in a dire condition, call in the professionals to tackle the cleaning job. However, if the problem becomes severe, it may mean you need to replace the mattress entirely.
Invest in an anti-allergy mattress protector
A strong mattress protector can prevent dead skin cells from getting into the mattress and lodging themselves deep inside, and will help lower the chance of dust mites appearing. Anti-allergy ones, in particular, will help to prevent dust from causing health problems.
