How Do You Handle Mattresses with Some Stains

 

A good mattress is an expensive buy, but different kinds of stains and accidents in daily life—are frequently unavoidable. Moreover, a noticeable stain would typically cancel the mattress warranty. Hence, keep your investment protected by including cleaning and removing stains on a regular basis in your household routine. It's simple to do and as many chemicals that you need are probably already in your cleaning supplies. Here, we've outlined the key cleaning procedures for mattress stains recommended by our best mattress cleaning Adelaide professionals, so you can easily get rid of any of the common frequent mattress blunders.

Step 1

Make the Mattress Ready

Ensure that the mattress is ready for stain removal by removing all sheets and bedding. Use the upholstery attachment to thoroughly vacuum it, and while you're at it, use the crevice tool to clean the piping, where dust and hair like to collect. Although while dust and hair might not be connected to the stain you're trying to remove, doing so reduces the number of dust mites, which is crucial for a good night's sleep if you have allergies.

Step 2

How to Remove Mattress Spots

The kind of stains on the mattress will determine the best cleaning method. Use the right cleaning method to each stain.

The three physiological fluids that are most likely to cause mattress problems are urine, sweat, and vomit. However, you can't soak a mattress as you would generally do for a piece of clothes; instead, you must use the solution judiciously using a spray bottle to prevent converting the mattress' slow-drying cushiness into the perfect moist environment for mould and mildew growth.

To begin with, lightly spritz the stain with normal water until it is just moist. Then, combine three tablespoons of baking soda, one cup of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide, and a few drops of dishwashing liquid in a spray bottle. Using a gentle scrub brush or an old toothbrush, gently brush the stain until it disappears after misting it with that solution. Lastly, sprinkle the freshly cleansed area with baking soda and vacuum it after a few minutes. This will remove the odour and make the mattress smell pleasant.

Blood: Use the method described above to remove blood, being careful to use cold water and cleaning solution (hot water will fix the stain in place permanently!). After combining the hydrogen peroxide and baking soda, place the mixture in the refrigerator for about an hour to cool it down. Blood stains will probably require more vigorous brushing, and you might need to repeat the process more than once. Use a fresh, absorbent towel to blot up all the extra liquid.

Stains from food and beverages: In a spray bottle, combine one part laundry detergent, one part vinegar, and ten parts water to remove stains from coffee, red wine, or other food and beverages. Spray the stain and clean it with a gentle toothbrush or scrub brush. Give the solution a dwell period of 10 to 15 minutes. After that, dab the stain and cleaning agent away using a moist hand towel or sponge. Continue blotting as needed after rinsing the cloth or sponge. Blot any remaining liquid with a dry, absorbent towel after that.

Step 3

Sprinkle enough of baking soda on the thoroughly cleaned area to deodorise the mattress. This will help to absorb any remaining moisture while drawing out any undesirable scents.

If at all possible, let the mattress sit for up to 24 hours so that it can fully dry. Alternatively, if you need to move quickly, you can use a fan or a hairdryer set to the cool setting.

Step 4:

Make the bed after the mattress has finished drying completely. Knowing that your mattress is spotless and odour-free will help you sleep soundly.
