  1. 7 Step Process for How to Clean a Mattress

  2. Unlike most of the other fabrics in your home, which can be put into your washing machine, your mattress is too large to be cleaned using traditional methods. You will also want to use a method that doesn’t just get rid of the odor, but also kills dust mites and actually removes a stains that might be hiding on that mattress. Here’s a simple 7 step process on how to clean a mattress.

  3. Strip the Bed and Put the Linens in the Wash The first step of cleaning your mattress should be to remove your sheets and throw them into the wash. If your linens are white, use a little bit of bleach and run the hottest cycle your machine has. This will help to kill bacteria that has been living in your linens and help to lift away any stains that might be on those fabrics.

  4. Start by Vacuuming the Mattress Pull out your vacuum and hook up the upholstery attachment. This is a great way to get rid of any dust, pollen, and mites that might be hanging out in the surface levels of your mattress’s fabric. Give the entire mattress a thorough once over with the upholstery attachment, making sure that you get every square inch of the surface and the sides. If you have a two-sided mattress, start with the side you are currently using and then flip the mattress over and vacuum the other side, too.

  5. Use Baking Soda to Deodorize the Mattress If you have noticed that your mattress is starting to develop a smell, especially a body odor smell, sprinkle it thoroughly with baking soda and then spend some time scrubbing it into the mattress with a scrub brush. This will make sure that the baking soda actually gets into the material of the mattress and eliminates the odors where they originate.

  6. Vacuum Again Vacuuming can also help to fluff up the fibers of your mattress after they have been slept on and, more recently, worked over with a scrub brush. If you have a mattress that has cotton padding that you have started to notice is feeling a little flat, this double vacuuming can give it back a little bit of its life.

  7. Spot Treat any Stains Mattresses are going to get stained. The most common stains for any mattress are blood and urine. If your mattress has any of these stains, they can both be treated with a little bit of hydrogen peroxide and backing soda. You only want to use enough to saturate the stain, not the entire mattress

  8. Let Your Mattress Dry and Air Out Even if your linens are done in the wash by the time you have cleaned away any of the stains, you should give your mattress as much time as possible to dry out. There is nothing wrong with putting a fan on the mattress or opening the window in the room to help dry the mattress. Now might be a good time to rotate the mattress, too.

  9. Once Dry, Cover with a Protector Before putting your sheets back on the mattress, it is time to invest in a better protector for that mattress. It’s much better to be able to simply peel off and wash a protector than it is to have to spot treat stains when they occur.
