If you prefer the DIY route or don't have a Universal Cleaner handy, here's the complete step-by-step process to clean a mattress effectively at home.
Step-by-Step Guide
Strip the Bed
Remove all bedding including mattress protector. Wash everything in hot water to kill dust mites.
Vacuum Thoroughly
Use the upholstery attachment to vacuum the entire mattress surface. Pay attention to seams and edges where dust collects.
Spot Clean Stains
Mix 2 tbsp hydrogen peroxide, 1 tbsp dish soap, and 1 tbsp baking soda. Apply to stains and let sit for 10 minutes.
Deodorize with Baking Soda
Sprinkle a generous layer of baking soda over the entire mattress. Add a few drops of essential oil for fragrance.
Let It Sit
Leave the baking soda for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. This absorbs odors and moisture.
Vacuum Again
Vacuum up all the baking soda completely. Go over the mattress multiple times to remove all residue.
Flip and Repeat
If your mattress is double-sided, flip it and repeat the entire process on the other side.
Pro Tips
