What is the Best way to Clean a Mattress?
The best way to clean a mattress is to vacuum it. Mattresses should never be saturated with cleaning products or water, as mold may grow in the mattress layers if moisture remains in the mattress. Mattress pads are the best way to keep a mattress clean and free from stains and moisture that may come from spills and accidents. A waterproof mattress pad saves you from ever having to try to clean a mattress that has stains and/or odors as it guards against total staining and offers maximum absorption to protect your mattress. Water-resistant mattress pads have been treated with a fabric protector and resist staining and saturation. Mattress pads are available in all sizes and thread counts and are machine washable and dryable. A hand-held vacuum or a vacuum with attachments can be used to properly clean a mattress. Mattress manufacturers recommend vacuuming as the only method that should be used to clean a mattress. Both the mattress and box spring should be vacuumed at regular intervals.
