Cleaning your mattress might seem like a daunting task, but it’s essential for maintaining a healthy sleep environment. After all, we spend about a third of our lives in bed! This simple five-step process combats fungus, bacteria, odours, dust, dust mites, and helps prevent bed bugs – all important reasons to keep your mattress fresh and clean. Here’s how to clean your mattress.
The 5-Step cleaning process.
Step 1: Remove your linen and mattress protector.
Start by stripping your bed of all linen and the mattress protector. While cleaning your linen weekly is crucial, it doesn’t tackle everything lurking in your mattress. By removing everything, you’re preparing for a deep clean.
Step 2: Sprinkle SANIC powder over your whole mattress.
Next, grab your SANIC powder and sprinkle it evenly across the entire surface of your mattress. This powerful formula is designed to eliminate fungus, bacteria, dust, dust mites, and even protect against bed bugs.
Step 3: Let SANIC work its magic.
Allow the SANIC powder to sit on your mattress for about 20 minutes—or longer if you prefer a deeper clean. The longer it stays, the more effective it will be at breaking down unwanted particles and odours.
Step 4: Vacuum up the SANIC powder.
Once the time is up, it’s time to vacuum! As you do, you’ll not only remove the SANIC powder but also the dead skin, dust, moisture, fungi, and bacteria trapped within. Your mattress will feel and smell so much fresher!
Step 5: Remake your bed.
Finally, remake your bed with a clean mattress protector and fresh linen. Ensure everything is completely dry before putting it back on the mattress to avoid any dampness.
Some helpful tips:
- Change your linen weekly: Regularly changing your linen keeps your bed fresher.
- Use SANIC on your mattress protector: Consider using SANIC on your mattress protector when you want to skip a full wash.
- Ventilate while you wait: Open curtains and windows to let in fresh air and sunlight while the SANIC works its magic. Let your mattress breathe!
- Avoid steam cleaning: Moisture from steam can get trapped in your mattress, potentially causing damage.
- Use SANIC regularly: Make it a habit to use SANIC every time you change your linen for ongoing cleanliness.
Cleaning your mattress doesn’t have to be an overwhelming chore.
