Mattresses that are cleaned on a regular basis, will help refresh your bedroom and remain hygienic.

Mattresses in Telford, and any location for that matter, that are cleaned on a regular basis, will help refresh your bedroom and remain hygienic.

The average person spends a third of their life in bed, so keeping it looking and feeling great is an investment in your own wellbeing. Because so much time is spent in bed, your mattress will see a lot of use over its lifetime. Anything we make contact with, we leave trace elements of skin and perspiration. Here, your mattress is no exception. Parents of very small children will be familiar with unfortunate accidents. Even a lazy breakfast in bed has the potential for spillages and crumbs...not to mention the perils of pets!

There is no golden rule when it comes to cleaning your mattresses; this all depends on the person sleeping on it. But a regular cleaning routine will keep mattresses in optimum condition, prolong their life, and assist hypoallergenic materials to prevent allergic reactions. All of which contributes to the quality of our sleep.

Six Steps for Maintaining Your Mattress

Cleaning and maintaining your mattress should be a straight forward process if you follow these 6 simple steps –

1. Strip your bed and wash your linen following the recommended care instructions on the label and inspect your mattress thoroughly.
2. Vacuum the surface of your mattress using the upholstery attachment, making sure this is clean before you start. Remember to hoover under the bed to remove dust – this is especially important for people with allergies.
3. Most stains can be removed using a mild detergent. Dip a clean sponge into the bubbles and clean the surface area with a circular motion from the outermost portion of the stain towards the interior of it. Leave to dry fully.
4. Rotate your mattress from head to toe if it’s one-sided or you can flip it if it’s two-sided. If double-sided make sure you hoover both sides.
5. Air out your mattress for a few hours letting the fabric breathe by opening a window and letting some fresh air in.
6. Using a mattress protector beneath your sheet helps to protect it from dust, sweat and daily use. Keeping pets and children from jumping on and off your mattress will stop internal damage and prevent spills and other accidents.
