How to Clean a Mattress and Remove Stains, Dust Mites, and Bad Odors (Page 2 ) | February 10, 2025

Step 2: Vacuum the Mattress
Use a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment to thoroughly vacuum the entire mattress surface. Pay extra attention to seams and edges where dust and debris can accumulate.

Step 3: Spot Clean Stains
For specific stains like sweat, urine, or blood:

Mix two parts hydrogen peroxide with one part dish soap in a spray bottle.
Apply the solution to the stained area and let it sit for 5–10 minutes.
Blot the stain gently with a clean cloth or sponge, being careful not to soak the mattress.
Wipe the area with a damp cloth and let it air dry.
Pro Tip: Avoid scrubbing the stain too hard as it can push it deeper into the mattress.

Step 4: Deodorize with Baking Soda
Sprinkle an even layer of baking soda over the mattress surface.
Let it sit for at least 4–6 hours (or overnight for deep odors).
Vacuum the baking soda thoroughly to remove any residue.
Baking soda helps neutralize odors and absorb moisture from the mattress.

Step 5: Disinfect with Vinegar Spray
Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle and lightly mist the mattress. This helps eliminate bacteria and freshen the fabric. Allow the mattress to air dry completely.
