- 1 cup hydrogen peroxide
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture: In a spray bottle, mix 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide, 1 cup of water, and 1/2 cup of white vinegar. Ensure you shake the bottle gently to combine the ingredients well.
- Test for Discoloration: Before applying the solution to the entire mattress, test a small hidden area to ensure no discoloration occurs. Spray a small amount and wait a few minutes.
- Spray the Mattress: Once assured there will be no staining, spray the solution evenly across the mattress surface. Avoid soaking the mattress to prevent excessive dampness.
- Agitate the Fabric: Using a soft-bristled brush or cloth, gently scrub the mattress surface to lift dirt and stains. Focus on areas that are particularly stained or have accumulated moisture.
- Let it Sit: Allow the cleaner to sit for about 15-20 minutes. This gives the hydrogen peroxide and vinegar time to disinfect and neutralize odors.
- Blot Away Residue: After letting it sit, use a clean cloth to blot away any excess liquid. You can also use a wet-dry vacuum to extract moisture quickly.
- Dry Completely: Air the mattress out by placing it in a well-ventilated area or near a window. This step is crucial to prevent mold and mildew growth.
Additional Tips
- For stubborn stains, consider repeating the spraying and scrubbing process.
- Regularly vacuum your mattress to keep dust and dirt at bay.
- Use a protective mattress cover to minimize stain potential in the future.
By following these steps, you can rejuvenate your mattresses, ensuring a cleaner and fresher sleeping environment. Enjoy a restful night’s sleep with your newly sanitized bedding!
