Ingredients
1 cup of baking soda
½ cup of hydrogen peroxide (3% solution)
1 tablespoon of dish soap (preferably unscented)
A small spray bottle (optional)
Clean cloths or towels
Vacuum cleaner (with upholstery attachment)
Instructions
Prepare the Mattress:
Strip your mattress of all bedding, including sheets, pillowcases, and blankets. It’s important to clean the mattress when it’s bare, so you have full access to the stained areas.
Vacuum the Mattress:
Start by thoroughly vacuuming the surface of the mattress to remove any dust, debris, or dirt. Use the upholstery attachment to ensure you get into the seams and corners where dust can hide. This step helps prevent dirt from mixing with your cleaning solution.
Create the Cleaning Solution:
In a bowl or spray bottle, mix 1 cup of baking soda, ½ cup of hydrogen peroxide, and 1 tablespoon of dish soap. Stir or shake well to combine. The hydrogen peroxide will work as a natural stain remover, while the dish soap helps break down grease and other stains. The baking soda adds a gentle abrasive action that will lift stains from the fabric.
Apply the Solution:
