Are we suppose to clean the mattress? Sure.. specially if you have allergies.
Spring-cleaning wouldn’t be complete without giving your mattress some serious attention. No need for harsh chemicals or expensive mixture, all you need is a box of baking soda for this cleaner. The addition of essential oil gently scents your bed, helping to calm down and quiet you to sleep.
Provide:
– 16-ounce box baking soda
– Essential oil
– Vacuum cleaner
How to do it:
– Before beginning, flip or rotate the bed, which is smart to do every six months to extend mattress life. While you’re working on your mattress, toss your bedding in the wash.
– Open the box of baking soda and add 10 to 20 drops of your favorite essential oil. Close the box and give it a good shake to distribute the essential oil and break up any large clumps. Lavender, chamomile, sandalwood are all soothing scents that would be wonderfully calming (essential oils are naturally antibacterial).
– Sprinkle the baking soda over the bed, using the entire box. Now it’s time for a mattress massage! Rub the baking soda mixture into the bed, which really gives your mattress a deep cleaning. Let the baking soda and essential oil work its magic for at least an hour.
– While you’re waiting, wipe down the walls around your bed and the bed frame, creating a nice and clean sleeping area. After an hour, vacuum the mattress, working slowly to ensure all the baking soda has been removed.
– The next step… well night night.. tell me later!
