Note: It is easier to remove dirt before it gets old, so remove it right away. And when purchasing a new bed, buy a moisture and dustproof cover for it: you don't have to rack your brains over how to clean the anatomical mattress from various contaminants

Improvised means

If the mattress is dirty, it is best to remove the stains as soon as they are created, while they are still wet. At this stage, they can be removed with soap. If this does not work, or if the dirt is old, clean it up with a suitable professional cleaner.

Soda cleaning

When you sweat in bed, the sweat stays on the mattress, which can take on a specific odor. In this case, cleaning with soda at home will help.

With each change of bed linen, you can get rid of dirt, odors, mites by cleaning the mattress with soda:

Vacuum the mattress. A handheld vacuum cleaner is ideal as it is easier to handle. You can also use a classic vacuum cleaner, but clean it first to keep dust out of the mattress.
Using a sieve, sprinkle with baking soda. Baking soda is a natural deodorant, disinfectant, and removes dirt not captured by the vacuum cleaner.
Leave the baking soda for 30 minutes.
Vacuum again. Remove the soda layer that is already full of dirt.

After cleaning, you can add a scent to the product. Add a few drops of essential oil to the water. Lavender is recommended as it has both disinfecting and soothing properties. Spray the mixture onto the mattress. After the moisture has dried, lay down the bedding.

Cleaning with vinegar

The modern industry offers special products to help cope with unpleasant odors. The purchased substance is applied to the mattress, and after the time specified in the instructions, the residues are removed with a damp cloth.
From improvised means with unpleasant odors, soda copes well. The mattress is sprinkled with dry matter, left for a day, and then thoroughly vacuumed. If the procedure does not bring the desired effect, you should repeat it again.
Essential oils help to cope with the musty scent. They perfectly neutralize unpleasant odors, and also help get rid of dust mites and bacteria. For this, a pack of soda is mixed with a few drops of the selected oil and distributed over the mattress using a sieve. After a few hours, the mixture is removed with a vacuum cleaner.
Unpleasant odors left by animals (dogs, cats) can be removed with vinegar. The product is mixed in half with water and sprayed with a spray bottle. After an hour, the mattress is wiped with a damp cloth and dried.
The smell of mold, according to reviews, helps to remove the usual bleach. It is scattered over the surface of the product, and then thoroughly vacuumed.

We clean the mattress from stains

It's no secret that fresh stains are removed much easier and faster than old and dried ones. A cleaning steam generator, or a vacuum cleaner with an aquafilter, helps to cope well with dirt and stains on the mattress. If there is no such technique, then before cleaning the mattress from stains, go over it with an ordinary vacuum cleaner to remove dust, crumbs, dust mites. This is especially true before cleaning a children's mattress, because it is the dust, as you know, that provokes allergies in children.

Blood stains

It is most effective to remove blood stains as soon as they are absorbed into the fabric. There are several ways to deal with blood stains.

Cold water is sufficient to remove fresh blood stains. It is enough to wet a cotton pad or cotton napkin in cold water and blot the stain, changing the water.
Hydrogen peroxide is good for removing blood stains.Use a weak 3% peroxide solution. We breed 1 table. a spoonful of peroxide in a glass of water, put a few cotton pads in the glass, squeeze it out a little, and put it on the stain. Leave it for 5-10 minutes, then change it. Repeat several times, at the end blot with a dry napkin.
For old blood stains, use a paste: mix equal parts hydrogen peroxide, salt, and starch. Apply on the stain and leave it on for 15 minutes. Then we remove the paste with a damp cloth. At the end, we blot this place with a dry cloth.

Urine stains

Cleaning mattresses from urine stains is not an easy task, as it is also complicated by the presence of odor. This is especially true for orthopedic mattresses.

A fresh urine stain will help remove the baking soda. To do this, fill the stain with soda and leave it for 1-2 hours. The smell, if it remains, remove it with a cotton swab and vinegar. We blot with a dry napkin, then dry with a hairdryer or vacuum cleaner.
Boric acid (borax) removes ugly stains from children's mattresses. Dropping a drop of water on the powder - apply the gruel to the stain, rubbing it into the fabric. We leave for 15 minutes. Remove the rest of the powder with a vacuum cleaner.
You can use alcohol to remove these stains. This will help remove stains and disinfect the mattress. Blot the stain with a cotton pad dipped in alcohol or vodka. Do not wet it too much, otherwise you will have to dry the mattress for a long time. We process the stain until it disappears.
With a cotton swab, slightly moisten the spot area, add coarse salt, leave for 1-2 hours. The salt will absorb all the urine. We collect the salt with a vacuum cleaner. Then treat the remains of the stain with hydrogen peroxide - a cotton pad. The spot area will foam a little. This is fine. After the formation of foam stops, wipe it off with a dry cloth.

Varieties of mattresses

Illiterate self-cleaning of the mattress often leads to a hopelessly spoiled product and money wasted. Therefore, when starting to eliminate stains and dirt from it, you should carefully study the label, take into account the peculiarities of care and its type.

Cotton. Consists of natural cotton material, cover made of coarse calico, teak, polycotone or polyester. One of the most budgetary options for a mattress, it takes up little space in the house. However, this type of product requires monthly airing, turning over every two weeks and vacuuming at least every 10 days. Stains on it are removed with a special mattress cleaner

It cannot be spoiled with a large amount of water and detergents, but cotton wool dries for a very long time, so you need to be careful when washing such a product.
The mattress with foam filling has a special volume and softness due to the abundance of cavities inside. This property makes it rather fragile, therefore, improper cleaning leads to deformation and the product quickly becomes unusable.

Foam mattresses can and should be washed. However, this is done at a temperature of no more than 40 degrees. It is necessary to squeeze the foam rubber carefully, not twisting it, but to dry it avoiding direct sunlight or sources of high temperatures.
The mattress stuffed with coconut coir is great for people with allergies and the smallest children. Cleaning of such products can only be dry using a vacuum cleaner. Be sure to regularly ventilate and turn the mattress. You can only wash its cover and only on the gentle mode of the machine.
Orthopedic mattresses are most often equipped with a spring block and filled with coconut fiber, latex and polyurethane. Thanks to their multi-layering, cleaning becomes more time consuming. Experts recommend buying orthopedic products equipped with a removable cover that can be easily removed and washed. The product itself requires regular ventilation, vacuuming and turning over several times a month.
