Did you know that we spend one third of our lives on a mattress.

This makes the mattress one of the most useful pieces of furniture in our lives, but strangely enough, also one of the least cleaned. Because mattress cleaning is not easy, it is usually not done and the mattress is eventually just replaced.

Thanks to washable mattress covers, it has become a lot easier, but that does not mean that the work is done. In addition to the cover, it is also necessary to consistently maintain the mattress to extend its lifespan. Don't forget: a good mattress is crucial for a good night's sleep and comfort.

In the meantime, it is necessary to give the mattress a nice freshening up every now and then. Otherwise, you will have to replace the mattress much sooner than necessary. Nowadays, we also have mattresses that have a summer and winter side. These keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. We turn the mattress over, depending on the season, but you have to be careful not to damage the mattress while turning.

There are also specific rules about replacing bedding. Changing it weekly is the golden rule. When buying bedding, it is fine to spend an extra euro if that means quality. The choice of bedding affects the condition of the mattress. If you buy sheets that do not breathe, you will get hot very quickly and then you will sweat. That means that all that excess moisture is absorbed into the mattress, which, among other things, causes an unpleasant odor that is difficult to remove.

Air, air, air.

Do you ever wonder if you spoil your mattress enough?

Mattresses unfortunately cannot go straight into the washing machine. Fortunately, there are other methods. The most common is to turn the mattress over a few times a year and then vacuum it thoroughly. It is also nice to wash the mattress covers once or twice a year. Pay attention to the instructions. Do not use a tumble dryer, because this makes it difficult to get the cover back on the mattress. While the cover is in use, use a damp cloth and wipe the mattress. Then let it dry as quickly as possible, preferably with the help of the sun.

If the mattress does not have a removable cover, vacuum the entire thing and then wipe it down with a damp cloth. The steps are pretty much the same. If stains appear on the mattress, you need to act quickly. Use lukewarm water and a drop of detergent and use a sponge to dab the spot until it is gone. Do not rub, as this will only push the dust further into the mattress. Of course, the mattress should be dried thoroughly afterwards. You can also buy a special cover that prevents moisture from seeping into the mattress.

The question is often asked: why should I clean my mattress at all?

We only sleep on them, right? And this is usually after showering or washing? Technically, there should be no dust. The reality is different. Mattresses hold a lot. Think of dust, dirt, food residue, skin and hair. This builds up as the mattress ages. Maintenance ensures that this stubborn dirt does not creep too deeply into your mattress. Because once it is too late, there is no other option than to replace the mattress. Or is there another option? And that is where deep cleaning comes in.

Deepclean for the best result

You have probably seen a very powerful vacuum cleaner that is intended for carpets, seat cushions or mattresses. However, these devices are often very expensive and they actually only work a little. We recommend that you have this done by a professional. They have the right knowledge and equipment to make your mattress look like new again. It is better to spend some money on a cleaning every now and then than to buy such a device yourself. Various specialist shops and services offer this possibility.
