How to remove old stains from a mattress: it will look like new

Taking proper care of your mattress is crucial for its longevity, especially when dealing with stubborn stains. Regular cleaning is key to maintaining the fabric's freshness.

Even deeply ingrained stains can be eliminated with a few effective tips. Discover the most reliable methods in the OBOZREVATEL article.

Experts recommend cleaning your mattress at least twice a year, addressing not only stains and dirt but also the accumulation of bacteria and debris on the surface.

For a thorough clean, follow this simple recipe and five easy steps:

Ingredients:

• Baking soda
• Vinegar
• Soap
• Enzyme cleaner (optional)

You will also need:

• Microfiber cloth
• Vacuum cleaner

Step 1: Gently blot fresh stains without rubbing, using a microfiber cloth instead of paper towels for liquid stains.

Step 2: Regardless of the stain's age, experts suggest vacuuming the mattress. A handheld vacuum cleaner or a suitable nozzle is recommended, and this step should be repeated monthly.

Step 3: Create a special cleaning solution by combining equal parts warm water and vinegar in a spray bottle. Grate soap and add it to the mixture, ensuring complete dissolution. Spray the solution on each stain, leave it for at least 10 minutes, and blot with a microfiber cloth.

Step 4: For less stubborn stains, the previous three steps should suffice. If vinegar proves ineffective, consider purchasing an enzyme cleaner that penetrates deep into the fabric to tackle the toughest stains.

Step 5: Baking soda, a versatile product, neutralizes odors and prevents mold and mildew. Sprinkle a few tablespoons on a wet mattress, leave it for 10 minutes, and then vacuum.

Afterward, allow the mattress to air dry thoroughly before making the bed, ensuring complete moisture removal.
