Mattress care is important. A mattress is a product that we tend to ignore in our younger years. Our parents usually buy our mattresses from crib till sometimes our first home away from home. The first mattress we purchase most tend to skimp on price for many reasons. The lack of money, we don't realize how much we use it, we don't know of the health benefits of a good mattress and the fact that it takes less to make us comfortable. No matter what we actually spend it almost impossible not to spend at least a few hundred dollars on it. Taking care of our mattress will prevent us from having to do this more often.
Just like other things we keep our body like clothing near the mattress needs to be cleaned. As we sleep and move around particles of skin rub off and make theirway to the mattress. Throughout our home there are mites called dust mites. These are microscopic but can cause us a lot of discomfort from allergy reactions. They love dark open places like the center of your mattress and they love to eat dead skin. An average Queen sized mattress can gain between fifty and one hundred pounds in a ten year period.
To maintain our mattress we should clean it about once a quarter. The Mattress should be stripped completely and all the linens should be washed including the mattress pad. If your pillows have removable covers they too should be washed. Make sure to read the manufacturers label for information on how.
If you have a mattress topper take it outside and let it air after beating it or shaking it to give it more life. If possible don'thang in direct sunlight.
This step is the longest. Slowly and carefully vacuum your mattress and if it is two sided turn it over. If you have boxes under the mattress you should rotate them 180 degrees ...
I suggest you use an allergy mattress cover waterproof is better, you give off a cup of fluid in an average nights sleep. Even if you don't have allergies it will give you a cleaner, healthier place to sleep. Of course now is the time to put your bed back together until the next quarter. Happy Sleeping.
