The spilled coffee that your husband carefully delivered to your bed, children's urine, stains from anything else - and now less than a year has passed, as a brand new mattress needs to be thoroughly cleaned. But how to clean a monster measuring 2 by 2 meters, despite the fact that he does not fit into the washing machine, no matter how you push it? There is a way out.
You will need
- - sponge or brush;
- - soap or mild detergent;
- - water;
- - a rag;
- - hair dryer or fan;
- - soda;
- - vacuum cleaner
Instruction manual
1
Dilute in a liter of warm water a little (half a teaspoon) of laundry detergent or grated laundry soap. Stir the cleaning solution well.
2
Make a basin or bucket of clean water. This water will rinse the cleaned surface. Change the rinse water as often as possible.
3
Prepare a brush or sponge, as well as clean rags. Free the mattress from bedding and start washing.
4
Start cleaning the mattress from one of its corners, gradually moving towards the center. Wet the sponge or brush in soapy water, clean the area of the mattress with it, being careful not to wet the product too much, and then use a damp, clean cloth to remove any soapy solution from the surface of the mattress.
5
Do not overdo it with water. The mattress should not get wet, otherwise a fungus may develop in it. After the entire mattress has been cleaned, dry it thoroughly. You can use a hairdryer or a fan.
6
If the mattress is clean, but there is a need to get rid of the unpleasant odor on it, sprinkle the product with a thin layer of baking soda and leave for a few minutes. After the soda absorbs all the smells (after 30-40 minutes), you just have to vacuum the mattress.
note
Take the habit of thoroughly vacuuming the mattress at least once every 2 weeks, paying particular attention to corners and creases. This will save your bed from a variety of insects, dust mites, living next to a person and capable of provoking allergic reactions.
Do not use stain removers or dry cleaners when cleaning the mattress. By these means you can damage your mattress. Try to limit yourself to either laundry soap or the most gentle washing powder.
Useful advice
In order for your mattress to last longer, use mattress covers - special sheets of coarse fabric with elastic or a kind of zipper covers that are worn on the mattress.
