There are many different ideas about the best way of cleaning a mattress, and it can be hard to find one that works. Let’s talk about some methods that might work for you.

Cleaners that don’t work

Many cleaning sprays are on the market, but they’re not very effective. You can spray them on your mattress and let it sit for a couple of hours, then try to scrub it off with an old toothbrush or whatever you have lying around. But most likely, the stains will still be there. It’s better to go with something like baking soda. Sprinkle some onto the areas where dirt is present (especially in the seams). And use either an old cloth or paper towel to pat down until all moisture has evaporated away. This should do pretty well at lifting any long-standing stains out of your mattress. Make sure you get up as much powder afterward; it will attract more dirt over time if left behind.

Washing your mattress

This is the most effective option for getting rid of stains, but you have to consider a few things before using this method. Make sure that your mattress can handle being submerged in the water. Some materials can’t take full submersion without causing damage. Be aware of that, even though this might get out every stain from the first wash. The same thing happens every time afterward.

Clean your mattress regularly

This might seem counterintuitive since the cleaning itself is causing damage over time – but how often do you wash? If something doesn’t need washing right now, don’t bother doing it until it becomes dirty again. Don’t wait too long between washes (trying every few months should be enough). Make regular and consistent use of whatever method works best for your specific mattress.

How to clean your mattress

The best thing that comes to mind is regular vacuuming. It’s quick and easy, especially if all you need is an air-upholstered unit that you can do with nothing except for some good old nature power. Many people don’t know how to clean a mattress without causing damage. So make sure to be thorough and suck up every piece of grime that might have settled in.

This means you’ll have to do it every few months for your mattress to stay clean. As long as you’re not doing anything too strenuous or aggressive, there should be no reason why mattresses can’t survive the process. This doesn’t mean that they won’t suffer any damage, but provided you don’t do something like scrubbing with a wire brush (or similar). Most materials will be able to handle this level of cleaning fine. If in doubt, always try out whatever method you might have planned for beforehand on an inconspicuous spot. And now you’ll have wasted even more money by having to buy another one instead. There isn’t much worse than spending all that time only to find out after everything has dried off that it’s ruined beyond repair.

Steam Cleaning

You can also try using the steam cleaning method instead. This will allow even more thorough penetration into all those little nooks and crannies that might otherwise go untouched. Then end up causing problems later on. It’s also straightforward to set up since you can do nothing except for a regular vacuum cleaner or other alternatives such as a small steam iron. Make sure you do not overdo things by going too heavy-handed. When combined, both these methods should work better than if used alone. Bear in mind, though: none of this will be of much help if you also make sure to change your bed sheets regularly.

Closing Thoughts

You can do regular vacuuming without much effort. Steam cleaning can help get rid of dirt, dust mites, hair, etc., from your mattress quickly and easily. You shouldn’t overdo anything as it will damage the material. If in doubt – always try out whatever method you might have planned for beforehand on an inconspicuous spot. There isn’t much worse than wasting time only to find it’s ruined beyond repair. And now you’ll have wasted even more money by having to buy another one instead. Using steam-cleaning will allow for even deeper penetration into all those little nooks.
