Today we will probably disappoint you a little when we reveal that the mattresses you use every day are a perfect place for the accumulation of dirt and the proliferation of various pathogenic microorganisms.
Why clean the bed
Changing the bedding unfortunately won’t help here, because dust, sweat, hair, flakes of dead skin or other body tissue or fluids pass through the sheet into the mattresses.
And in such an environment, not only dust mites but a whole spectrum of bacteria and other microorganisms proliferate.
These can then negatively affect your health and the health of your loved ones.
How to do it
But you don’t have to worry. In this article we’ll also reveal how to effectively eliminate this danger without having to use any harmful chemical agents.
How to effectively disinfect mattresses
Believe it or not, the only thing you need to clean mattresses is a little ordinary baking soda.
It is a natural substance that is extremely effective at removing bacteria and dust mites.
Follow these steps
1. First, take a vacuum cleaner and vacuum the mattresses well, including their sides and, if applicable, the bottom parts.
2. Next, take baking soda and sprinkle it over the mattresses. You can use a kitchen sieve as an aid. This way you effectively disinfect the mattresses.
3. You can leave the baking soda on the mattresses. If it bothers you, leave it for at least several hours and then you can vacuum it up again.
4. Finally, add a few drops of your favorite fragrant essential oil to a spray bottle with water, shake, and then spray this mixture onto the mattresses so they smell nice.
5. That’s it! Repeat this process ideally once a month.
Bonus! Instructions on how to then remove stains and odor from the mattress
