Although it doesn’t even cross many people’s minds, cleaning your mattress is critical to having a healthy and restorative sleep. The accumulation of dust mites and harmful germs can cause or worsen allergies, skin or respiratory problems.
The mattress must be cared for and protected. For example, it needs to be aired and breathed at least once a week, perhaps taking advantage of sheet changes. Once the soiled sheets have been removed, whisk the mattress to rid it of dust and dust mites.
It is also important to remove any stains, using a damp cloth and mild soap, or hydrogen peroxide if they are blood stains. Such an operation prevents the formation of bad odors.
The antibacterial power of baking soda makes it one of the most popular and widely used cleaning products. Below we explain how to use baking soda to thoroughly clean your mattress.
