But it is actually possible to give your mattress a good sanitization, eliminate mites and stains with materials that you surely already have at home and in a short time. This way you can keep it in optimal condition and protect your rest and health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don&#8217;t need to use a vacuum cleaner to clean a mattress. You can do a thorough manual cleaning with household cleaners at least twice a year. Follow these simple steps to do it right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remove the sheets and any mattress covers and shake the mattress well to remove any debris that has accumulated on its surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mix one tablespoon of laundry detergent with one quart of cold water and stir well to create plenty of suds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apply the foam to the mattress and use a soft sponge to scrub the stains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, dry the mattress, if possible, in the sun or in a well-ventilated room. You can use a hair dryer to speed up the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to Clean Mattress Stains with Baking Soda<\/strong><br>If you have a mattress that is not entirely new and there are moisture or dirt stains, you can use baking soda to remove them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mix 1 part baking soda with 2 parts cold water. Apply to the stain on the mattress and let it sit for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remove excess solution from the mattress with a damp cloth and let it dry thoroughly (preferably in the sun). Finally, use a vacuum cleaner to remove any baking soda residue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to Disinfect a Mattress with Vinegar<\/strong><br>There are two methods to remove urine stains and bad odors: the first is the baking soda method that we described above, the second is the white vinegar method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dampen a clean cloth with water and liquid soap. Fill a bucket with 2 parts warm water and 1 part white vinegar, then rub the stained areas of the mattress with the cloth. Allow the mattress to dry thoroughly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vinegar helps prevent the formation of mold and bacteria, fighting bad odors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to Get Rid of Dust Mites on a Mattress<\/strong><br>If you want to clean to get rid of dust mites, sprinkle baking soda on the mattress and let it sit for a few hours. Baking soda eliminates bad odors and dust mites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember to change your sheets once a week and make your bed every morning, but don&#8217;t cover it with a quilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember that dust mites cause allergies, asthma and other respiratory diseases. Getting these little critters out of your mattress is essential for your health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deep cleaning a mattress may seem like a daunting task.
