Did you know that mattresses can be cleaned? I hope I'm not the only one who as slept on a "dirty" uncleaned mattress. No, seriously, Luke and I bought our mattress when we got married (7 years ago!) and we have never cleaned it ... well until this weekend. I'm cringing a bit, because cleaning it was so easy and the results are great. We now have a bright and clean mattress.
It all started with this pin by One Good Thing by Jillee.

I read somewhere that Martha Stewart says to do this twice a year. It is supposed to clean (which it definitely does!) your mattress and kill dust mites. I will definitely be doing this to all of ours going forward.

What about cleaning urine on a mattress?
Kimberly Dsouza
Baking Soda will help deodorize. Worked for me.
Catherine Dickey
I going to sift the baking soda just like you do your dry ingredients like --flour baking powder--baking soda for some recipes I think it would be easy to vacuum at the end of the hour have a nice day
Catherine Dickey
OKAY
Ashley Mayes
For sure! Good luck Catherine!
Kimberly Dsouza
lol Ashley. We just HAVE TO vacuum the mattress pretty regularly out here! !
But I had read about the baking soda trick somewhere online and it does help deodorize. Another thing I do after I'm done cleaning the mattress I put a few drops of lavender oil on cotton balls and place them on the mattress before putting on the sheets. 🙂
