How Do You Clean Memory Foam Mattress Pads?
Memory foam mattresses are made from dense polyurethane foam that changes shape when warmed by body heat so that it contours to your shape. While great for sleeping, memory foam mattresses can be challenging to clean, especially if stained by urine or other fluids. The foam soaks up cleaning liquids and water and must dry completely before being used again, so plan on sleeping on something else for a few days. Small mattresses can be cleaned in a bathtub, but large mattresses must be hosed down outside–so clear a large enough space near a spigot. Place a sheet of plastic or a tarp on the ground so that the mattress doesn’t pick up dirt or debris from being outdoors. Liquid fabric cleaner and vinegar are for regular cleaning. Only use hydrogen peroxide for stains, and read the warnings in the instructions first. Vacuum the memory foam mattress completely with a sweeper attachment or hand vacuum. Depending on its size, place the mattress in a bathtub or on a sheet of plastic or tarp out
