Whether it’s time for spring cleaning or to freshen your home for the holidays and soon-to-arrive guests, cleaning your custom mattress is an important part of a thorough house cleaning. If you’ve had your mattress for a while but it still has some life in it, these cleaning tips from Custom Made Mattress of North Carolina in High Point will help you spruce it up and give your bedroom that fresh, clean feeling.

Clean Your Custom Mattress With These Easy Tips

Air Out 

Fresh air cures all, including musty-smelling mattresses. Open your bedroom windows to create some ventilation in the room and freshen things up. The outside air will help carry away odors. To help prevent or reduce odors in the first place, mattress specialists recommend keeping the temperature and humidity level in your bedroom low.

Vacuum

You may not realize your mattress is dusty, but looks can be deceiving. Use the upholstery tool on your vacuum cleaner to remove dust and dirt that has built up over time on the sides and top of your mattress. You can also use the crevice tool in the seams where debris may have accumulated. If possible, you should vacuum your mattress every two to three months.

Remove Stains

Your best chance at removing a mattress stain is to catch it right away when it happens. Most stains can be removed or reduced with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide, liquid dish soap, and baking soda. Apply the mixture directly to the stain and then blot clean with a clean cloth. Once your mattress is fresh and clean, it’s important to cover it with a quality protector to prevent future stains.

Cleaning your mattress regularly can go a long way when it comes to extending its life span.
