Day 16 of the 30 Day Spring Cleaning Challenge - HOW TO CLEAN THE MATTRESS AND BED . Cleaning the bed definitely took some time. If I could share two tips: If you have stains on your mattress - treat those with a spot treater like Folex or use a spot cleaning machine. If it’s really bad, hire a professional. Then buy a mattress protector to avoid doing this step. . I use the stem cleaner to freshen up the mattress and blast away dust mites, etc. I suggest doing this earlier in the day so your mattress has an opportunity to dry. Open your windows or use a fan to help it dry quicker. . Oh yeah, don’t forget to vacuum underneath your beds. As you can see, mine was filled with dust bunnies. Fortunately my Dyson sucked it right up. LTKfamily LTKhome
