A sound and healthy sleep is largely determined by the mattress on which we sleep daily. To make it as convenient as possible, it is not enough to choose a suitable model. It is also necessary to systematically care for him, eliminating the unpleasant odor, dust and dampness.
Instruction manual
1
Vacuum the mattress. Every day a large amount of dust, dust mites and their waste products accumulate in it. All this has a negative effect on human health, can lead to the appearance of dermatitis, conjunctivitis and allergic rhinitis. In addition, these substances gradually destroy the very structure of the mattress, especially if it is made from natural materials. To prevent this from happening, vacuum your mattress at least once a month. The best effect is brought by a vacuum cleaner whose suction power starts at 350 watts. At the same time, do not forget about cleaning the bottom of the bed.
2
Dry the mattress. Take the mattress outside in fine weather. The sun, fresh wind or severe frost will save him from constant excess moisture, which contributes to the development of mold, dampness, unpleasant odor and ticks. In addition, a dry mattress is better cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. If there is no opportunity to dry it on the street, take out the mattress at least on the balcony.
3
Try not to smoke in bed. The mattress absorbs the smell of tobacco smoke very well, but then getting rid of it is difficult later. To do this, sprinkle salt on the mattress, leave it for 5-6 hours, then collect the salt with a vacuum cleaner and dry your sleeping place in the sun.

Remove stains. The most important thing is to thoroughly blot the stain with a clean rag or paper towels immediately after pouring the liquid. This will reduce its spread and prevent the mattress from getting wet deep inside. There are many means to eliminate stains, but it is unlikely to get rid of it. For these purposes, it is better to invite a specialist. If you decide to remove the stain yourself, do not forget to dry the mattress well after that on the street.
5
