Plus, as we all know, something so large and cumbersome… Mattress Who would ever think to clean it—yet every time you go to sleep, you can still catch a lingering smell, even if you change the sheets daily. What’s going on? The root cause is simply that the mattress is way too dirty. So, how should we clean the mattress?

 

Step one: Place the mattress cover in the washing machine to clean it, then proceed to dust the mattress. If you have a vacuum cleaner or a lint roller at home, that’s even better—use them to thoroughly remove dust from inside the mattress. Mattresses often have crevices and grooves, so pay extra attention to these areas. Be sure to clean them thoroughly, as this is where dust and bacteria tend to cling most easily.

 

Next, start cleaning the mattress: first, evenly sprinkle baking soda powder all over the surface, then use a scrubbing brush to spread the powder evenly across the entire mattress. Let it sit like this for a while. 10 About a minute or so. This will effectively eliminate odors and grease stains from the mattress. Once the time is up, simply use a vacuum cleaner to thoroughly remove the baking soda left on the mattress. While cleaning, you can gently pat the mattress to help dislodge any dust trapped in the sponge layer, making it easier to achieve a deeper clean.

 

Next, grab a spray bottle, fill it with water, add a spoonful of detergent and a few drops of floral water, then shake well to mix thoroughly. Evenly spray the mixture onto the mattress—floral water is highly effective at eliminating dust mites while leaving behind a subtle, non-irritating fragrance. Meanwhile, the detergent quickly tackles stubborn stains like dirt and sweat marks deep within the mattress, also helping to disinfect and kill bacteria.

 

Next, fill the spray bottle with hydrochloric acid—feel free to add a little water as well. Hydrochloric acid is essentially concentrated hydrochloric acid, and it has powerful disinfecting and sterilizing properties, effectively eliminating any bacteria remaining deep within the mattress. This thorough cleaning process ensures that both surface stains and hidden germs are completely removed, so you no longer have to worry about unpleasant odors escaping.
