Your mattress is one of the most important investments for a good night’s sleep. Since we spend around a third of our life on our mattresses, keeping it clean and hygienic is essential. Regular mattress cleaning not only improves sleep quality but also extends the lifespan of your bed. Here’s a step-by-step guide to keeping your mattress fresh, clean, and well-maintained.
Vacuum Your Mattress Thoroughly
Start by vacuuming your mattress with the upholstery attachment. Remove dust, dirt, and debris, paying special attention to seams, edges, and corners where particles often accumulate. For mattress accessories, make sure pillows and toppers are also vacuumed to prevent allergens.
Spot Clean Any Stains
Treat stains immediately using a mild detergent and warm water. Dab the stained area gently with a clean cloth—avoid soaking the mattress. Afterward, rinse the area with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry completely. For persistent stains, consider reading through our Product Care guides.
Deodorise Your Mattress
Over time, mattresses can develop odours from sweat, dust, and everyday use. Sprinkle baking soda evenly over the mattress surface and leave it for a few hours to absorb unwanted smells. Vacuum off the baking soda afterward for a fresh, clean mattress.
Flip and Rotate Your Mattress
Flipping and rotating your mattress regularly helps distribute wear evenly and prevents body impressions. Check your mattress manufacturer’s instructions for the recommended frequency. This simple step can significantly extend the life of your mattress.
Use a Mattress Protector
A mattress protector creates a barrier between you and your bed, preventing sweat, dust, and spills from penetrating the mattress. Protectors also make cleaning easier and preserve the comfort and hygiene of your mattress.
Final Tips for Mattress Care
Regular mattress maintenance is key to healthy sleep. Vacuum, deodorise, rotate, and protect your mattress to keep it clean, fresh, and comfortable for years. For more detailed advice and step-by-step instructions, check out our Mattress Cleaning Guide.
