Learn what you can do to clean your mattress and create a better sleep environment.
This Saturday is the official first day of spring, and with it, many people feel the urge to spring clean their home. You spend every night in your bedroom, and probably a few hours during the day too! It only makes sense that you should do what you can to create a clean, fresh, and comfortable space. A clean bed will help you sleep better, which will improve your general health and well-being. Read on to learn how you can spring clean your way to better sleep and comfort.
Vacuum Your Mattress
First, strip the sheets off of your bed, and then use the vacuum upholstery attachment to clean the top and sides of your mattress and remove any dirt or dust that may have accumulated. Use the crevice tool to dislodge any stubborn dirt, and pay close attention to the seams where dirt and dust accrue the most. You can enjoy better sleep much more easily when you know you aren’t close to dirt and dust.
Remove Stains and Deodorize
It’s natural sometimes to stain your mattress, especially if you have kids or pets that often join you in bed. Check your mattress’s warranty before attempting DIY cleaning tricks. Fortunately, it can be relatively easy to wash out common stains. If you find that the stains are not coming out no matter what you do, you may begin to think about finding a new mattress.
Give Your Mattress Fresh Air
Now that spring weather is here, you can open your bedroom windows to allow natural ventilation into your room and through your mattress. This “airing out” can help eliminate mattress odors and freshen up your bed. Decreasing the humidity of your home can also help you cleanse your mattress. Make sure that your bedroom temperature and humidity levels are low, so you can enjoy better sleep and stop future dust mites and mold growth.
Use a Mattress Protector
Once you have freshened up your mattress, it is essential to add a mattress protector to prevent future dirt accumulation. Mattress protectors can even prevent spills and allergens from reaching your mattress, which helps it stay clean and fresh all year long.
Bring Nature Inside
Now that your mattress is fresh and clean, you’re on your way to better sleep. If you want to embrace the spring atmosphere further, you can freshen up your bedroom by bringing flowery scents in your bedroom. Scents like lavender, in particular, have been shown to reduce stress and ease tension.
By taking these steps to spring clean your mattress, you can soon enjoy better sleep this season, as well as a mattress that stays clean throughout the year.
