How to Deep-Clean Your Mattress the Safe & Effective Way

• Use your vacuum’s upholstery tool

• Vacuum the:

  • Top

  • Sides

  • Seams (dust mites love seams and creases)

This removes the dust mites and debris loosened by steaming.

4. Spot-Clean Stains

• Apply carpet & upholstery cleaner sparingly

• Blot — do not rub

• Avoid soaking the mattress (moisture leads to mold)

Tip: For stubborn stains, use an enzyme-based cleaner.

Optional Deep Freshening Step

If your mattress has odors, sprinkle baking soda over the surface and let it sit for 1–2 hours. Vacuum again.

Let It Dry Fully

Before making the bed again:

• Allow mattress to air-dry completely

• Turn on a fan or open windows to speed drying
