A perfectly clean mattress: no more chemicals
The secret to a perfectly clean resting place is the use of baking soda. Not only does it contain no chemicals, but it is also biodegradable.
It has stain-removing, detergent and deodorant properties. Here are the practical steps to follow.
How to do it?
The first step is to ensure ventilation and extraction, as follows:
Remove the sheets and expose the mattress;
Vacuum to remove surface dirt.
The second step is the cleaning itself:
Mix plenty of baking soda with a little water in a bowl;
When you have made a paste, you can apply it to the mattress;
Scrub with a toothbrush and leave for an hour;
Brush again and rinse with a clean, damp cloth.
The last step is to dry the mattress as follows:
Dry the mattress outdoors or in the sun;
Sprinkle a little more baking soda over the entire surface of the mattress;
Wait 20 minutes and vacuum up all the baking soda dust.
