Can You Clean Your 0wn Mattress or Do You Need Professional Help To Do So

Taking proper care of your mattress

Although, for proper cleaning of your mattress you need a professional help, it is wise to take proper care of your mattress so that it stays healthy, not only in respect to cleaning but also as a whole including proper ergonomics.

Flipping and rotating

As we sleep on the mattress, with respect to our body weight and our sitting pattern, the mattress gets deformed. So, it is important to rotate and flip the mattress occasionally so that the wear and tear is uniform and the mattress doesn’t get much distorted. This ensures long life of the mattress.

In some mattress, there is no option to flip the mattress. In that case only rotation is to be done.

Proper ventilation

With usage, the space between the different layers of the mattress shrinks due to air getting out due to pressure. Moisture also causes adverse effect. This makes the mattress lose its fluffiness. It is detrimental to the life of the mattress. To delay this, it is beneficial to ventilate the mattress.

You can place the mattress in a well-ventilated area. That will help evaporate the moisture in the mattress. It is better if there is sunlight too. However, that’s a luxury generally available in cities like Los Angeles; not in London. However, one thing is to be kept in mind is that when you place the mattress in a well-ventilated area, make sure it is not moisty. Otherwise, it will have adverse effect on the mattress.

Mattress protector

You can use a mattress protector. It can help protecting the mattress. It is better if the protector is breathable but waterproof. It protects your mattress from dust, spills etc.

Don’t eat on bed

Eating on bed is a bad habit but people often do it. It can accidentally spill food or crumbs on the bed. This can stain the mattress and call on ants and other such organisms in lure of the crumbs. Also, the stain and food particles can react with different microbes, as a result cause foul odors, etc., problems.

Don’t jump on bed

Kids love to jump on bed. This injures the mattress and decrease its longevity. This should be prevented.

Don’t let pets on bed

Dogs, as well as cats have sharp claws. This can injure your mattress. Also, pets have dirt on them. This will soil the mattress and cause associated problems.

Clean stains promptly

Whenever you stain the mattress, try cleaning as soon as possible. You can use a clean, damp piece of cloth to wipe the stain. You can use a small amount of mild detergent. You can use vacuum cleaner too. However, it is not wise to try too much in such situations. Call a mattress cleaner to tackle the situation. More time you waste, tougher it is to get the stain off.

Observation: In this first step, the cleaner inspects the stain or unclean part and its nature.

Decision: After the nature of the stain has been observed, the cleaner then decides what needs to be done to clean the issue. Depending on the stain the chemicals are chosen and also depending on the stain the cleaning procedure is chosen. Whether the procedure is to be vacuuming or something else, is determined under this step.
