Quick Tips For Mattress Care
Use a mattress cover to protect the mattress and wash at least once a month. You can make your own to fit perfectly, see Perfectly Fitted Mattress Pad.- Remove stains by lightly dabbing with liquid dish detergent that has been well diluted in water. For tough stains like blood spots, try blotting with hydrogen peroxide. For bedwetting stains, see How To Clean Bedwetting Stains From Mattresses.
- When stripping the beds down for laundry, freshen up the mattress by sprinkling a thin layer of baking soda directly on top of the mattress. Leave sit for a few hours then vacuum the powder up.
- Air out the mattress by letting the sun in, open up the curtains and bedroom windows when the bed is stripped down.
- Turn the mattress over every few months to help prevent permanent wear spots (flip top to bottom and side to side).

I got a waterproof mattress cover some years ago after my cat peed on the bed. It’s been a real life-saver. When I was a kit, waterproof mattress covers were bulky and “crinkley”. I was pleasantly surprised how this new one was very thin and I hardly notice it.
Cheers!
