1. Why clean your mattress regularly?

How to clean a mattress effectively? A mattress isn't just where we sleep: it's where we eat breakfast, play with our children, and even welcome our pets. It's therefore important to take care of it, maintain it, and clean it regularly to keep it clean and comfortable for years to come. Bdreams explains how to clean your mattress with 6 tips from Grandma!

2. Daily maintenance to extend the life of your mattress

Finding a mattress that's right for you is already a complicated enough task, so once you've found the perfect one, you need to take care of it! Cleaning your mattress effectively is more than just a matter of hygiene: it's also a matter of ensuring the longevity of your bedding. In addition, light daily maintenance allows for less frequent deep cleaning. To start, it's recommended to air out your room every morning for about fifteen minutes, with the sheets exposed to the air and the duvet tucked away at the end of the mattress. We also recommend regularly vacuuming the foot of your bed to remove dust, hair, and other debris. To kill dust mites, steam cleaning your mattress is recommended. To take care of your bedding, a waterproof mattress protector is also very effective in serving as a protective barrier. It's recommended to change your bed linen at least once a week and to turn your mattress every two months.

3. 6 effective tips for deep cleaning your mattress

• Disinfect with soda crystals

To effectively clean and disinfect a mattress , you must first thoroughly disinfect it with washing soda. Dip a sponge into a mixture of one liter of hot water and two glasses of washing soda, wring it out well, then scrub your mattress. This will remove stubborn stains and prevent ring-like marks. Rinse with a simple cloth soaked in hot water. Be sure to wear gloves for this task, as washing soda can irritate the skin!

• Deep clean with white vinegar

White vinegar is a well-known multi-purpose stain remover for effectively cleaning mattresses. Mix warm water (about 200 ml) with 50 cl of white vinegar and two drops of dish soap. As with washing soda crystals, wring out your sponge well and rub the mattress to remove stains. Rinse with a damp cloth.

• Say goodbye to urine stains with baking soda and white vinegar

Did your child wet the bed? To prevent urine stains, we recommend sprinkling baking soda on the stain to absorb the liquid, then vacuuming and spraying white vinegar on the stain. The faster you act, the more you can prevent further damage to the mattress. After cleaning the mattress thoroughly, leave it uncovered to air out the fibers and eliminate odors.

• Remove stains with hydrogen peroxide

Hydrogen peroxide is a powerful tool for tackling stubborn stains on mattresses! It's an abrasive stain remover, so wear gloves to protect your hands. Then lightly soak a cloth with hydrogen peroxide and apply it to the stain. Let it sit, rinse thoroughly, and dry your mattress. To prevent stains from forming after this step, it's recommended to clean your mattress thoroughly and effectively using the two tips above.

• Remove bad odors with baking soda

Whether you're removing sweat odors or cleaning product fumes, you can use baking soda. Sprinkle it on your mattress and let it sanitize for about 5 hours. Remove any excess with a vacuum cleaner, dustpan, or broom. It's always important to remove unpleasant odors from your bedding after thoroughly cleaning a mattress.

• Absorb moisture with talcum powder

Your mattress is now clean and you've rinsed it. All that's left is to remove any remaining moisture before covering your mattress with your sheets! To do this, use talcum powder: it has absorbent properties to absorb moisture while giving your bedding a sweet scent. Sprinkle talcum powder on your freshly cleaned mattress, let it sit all day, and remove the residue with a vacuum cleaner. You've got a mattress that's as good as new!
