How to get rid of yellow stains on the mattress in minutes: an effective life hack

It's not enough to just wash your bedding - your mattress needs regular cleaning as well. It can become a real breeding ground for bacteria, such as E. coli, and fungal spores, especially during the summer heat.

Regular cleaning is necessary to get rid of dirt, debris, and allergens. Experts have explained how to clean yellow stains on a mattress in minutes.

Mattresses should be replaced every six to eight years and cleaned regularly to preserve their lifespan. If hot summer nights have made you wake up sticky and sweaty, chances are your mattress has discolored due to skin secretions and dead cells. Fortunately, there is an easy way to get rid of these unsightly stains.

1. Take two tablespoons of baking soda and ½ cup of detergent.
2. Add four tablespoons of fabric softener and ½ cup of water.
3. Soak a white, clean towel in the mixture, wring it out thoroughly, and wrap it around the iron.
4. Run the iron on the lowest setting over the stain. This will combine the heat, steam, and cleaning power of the products. Do not use this technique if your mattress has a memory foam effect.

This life hack is very popular online, but some users claimed that adding fabric softener to the cleaning solution is not a great idea, as it can leave a sticky surface.

You can also mix baking soda with a few drops of essential oils. The best options are lemon or lavender. Sprinkle the mixture on the stain, leave it on for a couple of hours, and then vacuum up the residue.

When it comes to cleaning your child's mattress, you don't want to risk using harsh chemicals. But white vinegar will do the job just fine.
