From spilled juice to nighttime accidents, keeping your mattress clean and fresh can feel like an endless battle. Say goodbye to stains and hello to a cleaner, fresher mattress for you and your family.\n
The key to successfully removing mattress stains is to act quickly. As soon as a spill or accident occurs, blot the area with a clean cloth or paper towel to absorb as much liquid as possible before it seeps deeper into the mattress.\n
For fresh stains, create a gentle cleaning solution using mild dish soap or laundry detergent diluted in warm water. Dip a clean cloth into the solution and gently blot the stained area, working from the outside in to prevent spreading.\n

Baking soda is a miracle worker when it comes to neutralizing odors and lifting stains from mattresses. After blotting the stain with a cleaning solution, sprinkle a generous amount of baking soda over the affected area and let it sit for several hours or overnight to absorb moisture and odor.\n
For stubborn stains and odors, mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Lightly mist the stained area with the solution and allow it to sit for a few minutes before blotting with a clean cloth. Vinegar helps break down stains and eliminates odors naturally.\n
Invest in a handheld steam cleaner to tackle tough stains and sanitize your mattress effectively. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for using the steam cleaner and ensure that your mattress is thoroughly dry before placing bedding back on top.\n
