Instruction manual
1
You can perform high-quality cleaning of your mattress in a certified dry cleaning service, and some of them have express services that can treat your mattress with a special vacuum cleaner right at home.
2
If you decide to do this work at home, determine which cleaning method you need. It depends on the degree of contamination of the mattress and the material from which it is made. To begin, remove and wash the mattress cover.
3
After that, get rid of dust with a vacuum cleaner. Modern vacuum cleaners allow you to clean the mattress to a depth of 30 to 50 cm. Vacuum suction with vibration will allow you to get rid of dust, lint, pet hair, as well as ticks, if any.
4
A coconut coir mattress can be covered with a damp piece and easily knocked out, as well as wiped with a sponge or a clean brush.
5
A polyurethane foam mattress can also be cleaned with a wet brush. But if it is necessary to additionally remove stains, wipe and gently rinse them with a sponge with clean water, but try to do so so that no water gets inside the mattress.
6
To clean mattresses, choose special products designed for this purpose. If you don’t have such means at hand, you can use unpainted liquid soap, white washing powder, or, in extreme cases, dishwashing liquid.
7
It is better if you prepare a "dry" foam. Take your product and a small amount of water, whisk it in a thick foam, and with a brush or a slightly damp sponge, apply to especially contaminated places. Foam must be applied quickly, in a circular motion, without rubbing deeply. Then these places should be wiped with a slightly damp clean rag and pat dry with dry napkins or a towel.
8
After such cleaning, take out the mattress in the sun to dry well (it is advisable to perform this procedure regularly). Or dry with a hairdryer or fan heater.
9
If any liquid is spilled on the mattress, then try to get it wet immediately with a dry cloth, but do not rub it. And then, depending on the type of liquid, pick up a cleaner.
10
Most stains can be removed with ammonia solution (a teaspoon in a glass of water), as well as with medical alcohol. Use hydrogen peroxide to remove blood stains from the mattress. For organic liquids, solutions of lemon juice or citric acid, vinegar (1: 1 ratio) are well suited.
eleven
Wet the sponge and blot or spray over the stain and wipe with a dry cloth. After this procedure, you can sprinkle a slightly damp spot with baking soda and leave for a day. And then clean off the remaining soda with a vacuum cleaner. By the way, this substance eliminates bad odors, including those absorbed into the mattress as a result of smoking.
