How to Clean a Mattress Carole Pagan © 2007 The question of how to clean a mattress comes up fairly often, especially when you’re expecting out of town visitors.

If you’ve never had a Kirby demonstration in your home, have one. It’s a real eye-opener! When they do the mattress with the attachment that allows you to see how much stuff they are pulling out, it is horrifying. So the first step in cleaning your mattress will be to vacuum, and vacuum, and vacuum some more. Flip the mattress and repeat. Do your pillows while you’re at it. If the mattress truly needs cleaning, use an upholstery cleaner, and be careful not to soak it. A foam cleaner, or a dry cleaner would be best. You don’t need mold on top of it! To eliminate odors and allergens, spray it down with FeBreeze allergy formula. You can do this every time you change the sheets. Make sure you’re changing your sheets and washing them in hot water once a week. Wash or clean your blankets or comforters as needed. It’s nice to have washable ones so you can do them once a month. If you have dry clean bedding, I would suggest removing it at night when you’re going to sleep. But I guess that’s a personal choice. I’m all about avoiding extra housework! If you have stains, Pet stain remover works great. Honest! I use Oxy Solution by Simple Solution.

(Plus it can help you lose weight :) If that doesn't motivate you to get the house clean, how about finding the secrets to getting it clean and keeping that way without killing yourself so you have more time to play ...
