The best tips for cleaning your mattress
A fresh and clean mattress is essential for a good night's sleep. It prevents accumulation of dust, bacteria and allergens, and prolongs the life of your mattress. But how do you really keep your mattress clean, without the need for all kinds of harsh cleaning agents? In this blog, we share 5 easy ways to clean your mattress, with tips you can apply right away.
1.Air your mattress daily
It may seem logical to make your bed immediately after getting up, but it is actually better to wait a while to do so. By airing your mattress and bedding for half an hour to an hour, you give accumulated moisture and heat a chance to evaporate. This helps prevent mold and musty odors.
In addition, make sure your bedroom is well ventilated by opening a window. Fresh air promotes a hygienic sleep environment and extends the life of your mattress.
2. Use baking soda to remove odors
A natural miracle cure for mattress cleaning is baking soda. Sprinkle a layer all over the mattress and leave it on for at least an hour. Baking soda absorbs moisture and neutralizes odors. Then you can easily vacuum it up with a vacuum cleaner. Combine this step with washing your bedding for a very fresh bed!
3. Clean your mattress with a steam cleaner
For deep cleaning without chemicals, a steam cleaner is ideal. When using a steam cleaner from Techweise , choose the triangle brush with microfiber cloth to avoid damaging the mattress. Apply the steam slowly and evenly to the mattress, making sure not to get the mattress too wet. The hot steam from the steam cleaner is hotter than 100°C and kills 99.99% of bacteria in the mattress. In addition, the steam removes unpleasant odors, extending the life of your mattress and ensuring a hygienic sleeping surface.
Tip: Make sure your mattress is completely dry after steam cleaning to prevent mold.

4. Removing stains from the mattress
Do you suffer from stubborn stains? Mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray this on the stain and dab it with a clean cloth. Then sprinkle baking soda over the spot to neutralize odors. Let it dry thoroughly before using the mattress again and vacuum up the baking soda with a vacuum cleaner after a few hours. Repeat this process if necessary, especially for older stains.
5. Protect your mattress with a mattress protector
Prevention is better than cure! A good mattress protector keeps out dirt, dust and moisture and is easy to wash. Combine this with turning your mattress regularly (every 3 months) to even out wear.
