After a long and tiring day, nothing is more satisfying than relaxing in bed. Most of your time is spent on a mattress thus, to ensure that it’s comfortable, it is important to keep it clean. In this blog, we will share some recommendations on how to keep your Rainbow Home mattress clean.
Why do I Need To Clean my Mattress?
You sleep on your mattress every night, meaning it collects dirt over time. The dirt it collects is usually sweat, dead skin cells and dust mites. Without a mattress that comes with a detachable mattress cover, this build-up of dirt can make its way through your linen and onto your mattress, resulting in lingering odor, grime and mattress stains. A dirty mattress can lead to insomnia, bed bugs and respiratory problems in more severe cases.
How To Clean A Used Mattress
It is recommended that one should clean spills as quickly as possible with warm, soapy water and a cloth. Dust mites and debris (scattered pieces of rubbish or remains) are removed with a soft brush.
How Often Do I Need To Clean My Mattress?
Knowing how frequently to clean your mattress is dependent on several factors, such as allergies, pets and other environmental conditions. In general, we recommend cleaning your mattress every 6 months. Consider cleaning it more often (at least every 3-4 months) if allergies or pets are an issue.
Other Mattress Care Tips
To avoid the dirt building up on your mattress one should wash their bed linen and any mattress protectors. Washing it at least once a week should do the trick. One should also consider investing in a mattress protector and for those who do not know what it does, the name suggests. A mattress protector goes in between the mattress and bed linen to protect your mattress from any spills or damage. These can be waterproof to absorb any moisture or anti-allergy to help sensitive skin. It is also recommended to rotate your mattress in between cleans. This means rotating head to food, not flipping because many mattresses do not have the soft foam padding at the bottom. Rotating your mattress helps avoid dirt from gathering in one place. It also helps avoid sagging and extends the life of your mattress.
