‘Dust mites thrive in mattresses!’ How to clean your mattress and make it ‘fresh again'

“Instead, if your mattress allows it, treat stains with a combination of baking soda, salt, lemon juice, and water which when mixed together will form a paste. 

“Let it sit for roughly 30 minutes before wiping away with a damp cloth.

“Using equal parts of water and white vinegar solution in a spray bottle, is the key to spot treating odours. 

“You should use this to blot the area with a clean towel until the area smells fresh.

“Instead of using high chemical solutions and sprays to add a floral scent, use natural oils such as rosemary and lavender to add delicate floral notes to your bed that will encourage sleep and not cause any irritation to the skin.”

While the average household should clean their mattress bi-annually, those with allergies should consider more frequent cleaning.
