Still not sure how to clean a mattress ? You have probably had it for a few months and only just noticed that tiny dust particles have settled into the seams, or that the stain you had not paid attention to has become impossible to remove.
Not cleaning the mattress properly is a common mistake that can considerably shorten the life of your product in the long run.
As well as changing covers, duvets and sheets regularly, turning the mattress periodically and vacuuming as part of the housework, remember that you need to give it a deep clean
from time to time. The best way to do that is to follow the advice of a Quebec mattress manufacturer. Today, Avanti would like to share a few of our best mattress-cleaning secrets. Ready to find out what they are?
Let's get started!
How do you clean a mattress thoroughly?
There are many techniques we can use to clean a mattress. Vacuuming is probably the first thing that comes to mind. However, while vacuuming the mattress is very effective at getting rid of dust and dust mites, stains, moisture and odours remain.
So what do we do? Let's take a look below.
How do you clean a mattress with baking soda?
When you want a clean, fresh mattress, one of the simplest ways is to use baking soda. It is a natural cleaner that does not damage fabrics but is able to absorb all the bad smells and moisture, and so remove that unpleasant feeling of a dirty bed.
The key is to sprinkle baking soda over the surface, leave it to work for a few hours, then remove it with a vacuum cleaner. It is quick, practical and very economical.
How effective vacuum attachments are
If you suffer from allergies, you should know that dust mites can cause serious health problems. That is particularly true for mattress.
Dust mites have sharp claws that let them cling to mattress fibres. Vacuum cleaners with a high-power mode can help remove most allergens, including these. A tool with a small motor is a good choice for this, because it can clean the mattress effectively on both sides.
Cleaning the mattress with upholstery attachments
Using an upholstery attachment on a vacuum cleaner can make cleaning your mattress easier. If your vacuum cleaner comes with a cleaning tool, it will be able to clean the seams and deep crevices of your mattress.
A crevice tool can also reach the folds and seams of your pillow. Using the right upholstery attachment can help you remove the dirt that gets stuck between the folds.

How do you clean a mattress with a stain remover?
When we talk about "washing a mattress", it is not only about using detergent, soap and water. Not all fibres are designed to be exposed to excessive moisture, and even less so to be treated at home.
So how do you wash a mattress without having to soak it completely ? Ideally you should use a specialist product, such as a stain remover, which lets you lift stubborn stains in specific areas.
If you are not sure which product to use, however, you can use a mixture of baking soda, vinegar and water to lift some stubborn stains from the surface. If the stain is small and was not made with a permanent product, it will probably take only a few minutes to remove.
If not, consult a professional.
