How to Disinfect a Mattress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Washing the sheets every week and flipping the mattress every few months is a good cleaning practice that helps keep it last longer. But unfortunately, it isn\u2019t enough! To be sure your mattress is clean and fresh, give it a deep disinfecting and sanitise at least twice a year. Ideally, do it each season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use the following methods and simple homemade solutions to disinfect your mattress:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method 1: Antibacterial Spray with Vodka<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Vodka is a great disinfectant not only for your mattress but also for the skin. It doesn\u2019t matter the vodka quality – cheap vodka works and the expensive one when used for sanitising. So just take a bottle from the nearest store and follow the steps below to disinfect your mattress in no time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Vacuum the top of the mattress with a wide brush attachment.<\/strong> Use a long upholstery nozzle to clean the sides, corners, edges, and get into cracks. This will remove dirt, mites, dust, dead skin, hair, and other particles<\/a> from the mattress.<\/li>
  2. Mix a small amount of vodka and several drops of essential oil in a spray bottle.<\/strong> Shake it well and lightly spray all surfaces of the mattress. Avoid soaking the area!<\/li>
  3. Allow the mattress to air dry completely<\/strong> before putting on the sheets and using it.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Method 2: Steam Cleaning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Heat treatment is a reliable choice for sanitising a mattress, especially when you want to get rid of all small creatures lurking in your bed such as dust mites and bed bugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You may not see them with a naked eye but certainly, you can feel them in itchy eyes and runny nose. To remove these enemies from your mattress, take the following steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. \"HowRemove as much outward dust, hair and debris as possible<\/strong> by vacuuming the entire mattress with the crevice tools of your vacuum cleaner.<\/li>
    2. Run a steam cleaner across the mattress surface through short bursts, followed by dry passes.<\/strong> You can use a hand-held steamer or rent a commercial one. Do not steam at a continuous cycle to prevent soaking the mattress.<\/li>
    3. Let the fabric dry completely before sleeping on it.<\/strong> To speed up the drying process, open the windows and turn on a fan.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \n
      NOTE:<\/strong> Mattresses can\u2019t handle moisture well. The method above can be hazardous if you allow over-wetting of the fabric during the process. For your peace of mind consider trusting a professional mattress cleaning company<\/a> to take care of your most beloved sleeping mat.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
