A perfectly clean mattress is a guarantee of a restful sleep and a morning full of energy and motivation. That’s why it’s important to engage in regular maintenance to keep your bed free of germs and bacteria, as well as mites. To achieve this, the use of chemicals has fallen into disuse. In view of the alarming environmental situation, we recommend using natural products, which are not only cheaper, but twice as effective.
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.
