Mattresses are some of the most used furniture pieces in your home as you sleep on it every night. Because of this, they are also one of the dirtiest things in your home. Dust mites, bacteria, and other allergens love to live in mattresses. Not only are these allergens a nuisance, but they can also cause health problems for some people. In this guide, we will teach you how to clean your mattress and get rid of all those nasty allergens for good! 

The first step in mattress cleaning is to vacuum it. This will remove all the loose dirt and dust from the surface of the mattress. Be sure to use a vacuum cleaner with a good amount of suction power, or you may end up just moving the allergens around.

Next, you will need to take care of any stains or spots on the mattress. For light stains, you can use a damp cloth to wipe them clean. For tougher stains, you may need to use a detergent or stain remover. Be sure to test any cleaning products in an inconspicuous area of the mattress first to make sure they are safe to use.

After taking care of the stains, it is time to treat the mattress for allergens. There are a few different ways to do this, but we recommend using a mattress encasement. Mattress encasements are covers that go over the mattress and protect it from dust mites, bacteria, and other allergens. They can be bought at most home improvement stores or online.

If you don’t want to buy a mattress encasement, you can also treat the mattress with a dust mite spray or pillow case covers. Both of these products are designed to keep allergens from coming into contact with your skin.

Finally, be sure to let the mattress dry completely before using it again. This may take a few hours, so you may want to do this on a day when you are not going to be using the mattress.

Now that you know how to clean your mattress, there is no need to worry about those pesky allergens anymore! Follow these simple steps and your mattress will be as good as new in no time.

Happy cleaning!
