Mattress-Cleaning Solutions
- 1). Vacuum the top of the mattress with the upholstery attachment to clean surface dirt and debris as well as loosen the stuffing to fluff the mattress. Vacuum the sides of the mattress.
- 2). Sprinkle baking soda lightly over the top and sides of the mattress to help clean it further and reduce odors. Run the vacuum over the surface again to remove the baking soda.
- 3). Dampen a soft cloth or sponge with water and apply a drop of a mild liquid soap. Gently blot a stain until it disappears. Follow with with a sponge or cloth moistened only with warm water to remove any soap residue. Repeat for all stains.
- 4). Allow the mattress to sit uncovered for a few hours to dry. If you have a clean area to set the mattress outdoors, place it in the sun. The sun has a powerful bleaching effect and also removes odors.
