Although we regularly change and wash bedding, we forget about the mattress, which also houses dust mites and bacteria. Its cleaning, however, is not the easiest one, so many people postpone this activity for an undefined future. Fortunately, there are home remedies that will make this onerous task much easier.
How to clean the mattress? Sprinkle it with baking soda
While on the surface the mattress may appear clean, it is actually a hotbed of dirt, germs and bacteria that can cause negative health effects such as asthma, allergies and skin inflammation. That is why it is important to clean it regularly, not only from visible stains. This is where baking soda comes in handy, effectively combating the microorganisms living in the mattress.
To do this, just remove the bedding from the mattress and sprinkle it generously with baking soda, thoroughly spreading it over its entire surface. Then leave the mattress there for a few hours, and then thoroughly vacuum it. The soda will absorb moisture and mites during this time.
On the other hand, stains that are more difficult to remove can be dealt with with a mixture of 3 tablespoons of baking soda, a glass of hydrogen peroxide and a drop of washing-up liquid. The solution prepared in this way is put on a sponge and then rubbed over the surface of the mattress. Will you try?
