Features of the care of the mattress and the rules for its operation

mattress care recommendations

It will be much easier to clean and wash the mattress if the following rules are clearly observed:

  1. There are appropriate places for eating, drinking and smoking. If you do this in bed, even gently, the fabric is saturated with a characteristic odor, and dense vapors sooner or later develop into spots that are difficult to remove by chemical means.
  2. Change of linen should be carried out as often as possible. Especially if dirt has appeared on the material.
  3. During each cleaning at home, you need to handle the mattress. The pallet is wiped with a damp cloth, the upholstery itself is treated with a vacuum cleaner. This is an excellent prevention of the formation of spots and the reproduction of dust mites.
  4. The mattress needs to be turned over regularly. This prevents the settling of the filler and the wear of the upholstery.
  5. A functional product must not only be washed regularly, but also ventilated. And ultraviolet is not worse than other means to remove yellow spots that appear as a result of prolonged use of the mattress.
  6. In order not to have to spend a lot of time on processing a dimensional and multilayer product, it is necessary to acquire protective covers. If necessary, they can be washed in a machine and even replaced if pollution cannot be removed.

Not all mattresses are recoverable. For example, processing an orthopedic mattress is almost impossible, especially at home. In this case, you will either have to part with the product, or simply sheathe it with an additional protective cover.

What is the best systematic cleaning?

If there are no obvious dirt on the surface of the item, this does not mean that it does not need to be cleaned. Every few weeks, you need to carry out the following manipulations:

  • In addition to dry vacuum cleaning, it is recommended to use a steam cleaner or a washing vacuum cleaner. If there are no such devices in the household, then you can do with the use of a wet sheet and cane. We prepare an acetic solution of very low concentration (no more than two tablespoons of the product per two liters of water), moisten the sheet in it, squeeze it well. We cover the mattress with a slightly damp cloth and knock it out with a cane. We repeat the approach on the second side.
  • So that the product does not have to be washed, it is recommended to use Vanish for upholstered furniture or its analogues to remove surface stains and greasy marks. Only foam is applied to the fabric, which is then cleaned according to the instructions.
  • Greasy and fatty formations will go away under the influence of ethyl alcohol or ammonia. Strongly rubbing is not necessary, just moisten the surface and dry.
  • Vinegar and thorough drying in the sun will help to remove traces of mold. First, the spots are treated with a weak solution of vinegar, after which the object is hung out in the fresh air (warm or frosty, it does not matter).

This approach will not only allow you to constantly keep the mattress clean and fresh, it will reduce the risk of allergies as a result of the activity of dust mites and will allow you to clean the mattress from more serious dirt and stubborn stains without problems and negative side effects.

Effective persistent contaminants

Most of the troubles to the hostesses are stains from blood and urine. But, in order to remove them without a trace, it is not necessary to wash the product in a typewriter or hand it in for dry cleaning. First, try the following approaches:

  • First of all, you need to clean the mattress with a concentrated solution of laundry soap. A dense composition is applied directly to the spots in a small amount, after which the tissue is treated with a toothbrush or a dense sponge. Then the soapy mass is carefully removed with a damp cloth and the area is dried with paper towels.

Tip: When removing stains of organic nature, it is strictly forbidden to use warm or hot water. This will lead to the launch of chemical reactions, which will result in stains and traces that are not amenable to further processing.

  • To remove traces of blood, you can use a saline solution. We apply it to the spots using a spray gun, leave for half an hour and collect the remaining composition with paper towels.
  • A composition based on lemon juice and salt well eliminates traces of urine. From the active ingredients we prepare the pulp, which we apply to the problem area and leave for a couple of hours. Then we collect the remains of the paste with a damp sponge and dry the product.
  • If stains from blood and urine could not be completely removed, and yellow traces remained on the surface of the mattress, then they can be washed dry using soda. We powder the contaminated area with powder, leave it all night. In the morning we collect the remains of the product with a vacuum cleaner.

Unwanted formations are easier to remove with access to tissue from both sides. Only if the material cannot be gently pushed or unfastened, is it necessary to carry out direct unilateral processing of the item.
