1. Use a Mattress Protector<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"What-is-the-Point-of-a-Mattress-Protector\"](\"https:\/\/thebeddingplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/What-is-the-Point-of-a-Mattress-Protector-1024x597.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThis should be your first consideration immediately after buying a mattress. When it’s right from the store, it’s the perfect time to protect it from dust mite<\/a> specs, tea, and wine spills, vomits, pee (maybe from your toddlers), and bloodstains.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe mattress protector<\/a> should be waterproof, but you must clean it regularly, say once a month. This gets rid of dust particles and spill stains. Luckily, it only takes a few minutes to clean a mattress protector<\/a> compared to a mattress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2. Fix a Well- Fitting Sheet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Secondly, find a well-fitting sheet for your mattress as this will ensure the whole mattress is covered. Well-fitted sheets mean that no dirt can reach your mattress, which protects it from dirt and stains that cause regular cleaning. However, you ought to change your sheets regularly, say every 2 to 3 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Air Your Mattress Regularly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Once in a while, in about four months, consider airing your mattress out to increase free fresh air circulation. Some mattresses need airing before using, but that depends on the type of mattress and manufacturer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While having that coveted sit-at-home day, strip your beddings off and open your bedroom windows<\/a>. This allows light to penetrate through. UV light from the sun will act on or rather kill any mold that might have formed on the surface of your mattress and remove any moisture tucked in. Taking your mattress out on a sunny day for about 6 hours is also advisable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n4. Wash Your Bedding Often<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/thebeddingplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/washing-machine.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nKeeping your beddings clean helps to ensure your mattress is clean too. Change your bed sheets<\/a> every 2 to 3 days using clean hot water. Hot water kills bacteria and germs that cause infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\nYou can soak them in your washing machine before the actual cleaning to remove stains. If you have allergies, it’s best to change your sheets daily. Typically, most people love using white bed sheets as it’s easy to spot any dirt on them. However, if white isn’t your color choice, pick what you fancy but remember to wash them regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Spray a Layer of Baking Soda<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Do you have baking soda in your kitchen, but you don’t know how to use it, let alone spot where you kept it? Well, where mattress cleaning is a concern, baking soda works like magic. This is because it helps kill the dust mites that might be tucked in your mattress and remove any foul smell from it. Moreover, it sucks any moisture, so grab that baking soda and sprinkle some on your mattress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using your hands, spread it evenly and leave it overnight (don’t sleep on it) or at least for about 30 minutes. You can also use a sprinkler or floor sifter to spread the baking powder on the surface of the mattress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You will be shocked at how clean your mattress will be after doing this. Any foul smell on it will be gone, which is what we want. This is an easy way to clean, and it doesn’t take much time or effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Use a Vacuum Cleaner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/thebeddingplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/vacuum-cleaner.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAfter spraying your bed with baking soda, use a vacuum cleaner to remove any particles remaining on the mattress. Also, a vacuum cleaner helps remove dirt and dust mites<\/a> on the mattress seams, edges, and services.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThese areas are notorious for collecting dirt. If you do not have a vacuum cleaner, you should consider purchasing one soon. Buy one with a UV light disinfection tool as it’s effective for cleaning flat surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. Flipping the Mattress<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Over time, flipping your mattress ought to be a routine. If you have a one-sided mattress, rotate it from head to toe. Flipping your mattress is ideal for a spring mattress since it compresses over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
