You spend almost a third of your life on a mattress, so it’s something that needs a lot of cleaning. Regular mattress cleaning can help reduce allergens in the bedroom, keeping it fresh and clean for many years. You should also treat spills immediately to prevent stains from sticking or mold growth. Fortunately, mattress cleaning is not difficult and you can clean the mattress with some basic cleaning tools and ingredients.
Steps
Remove all bed sheets

Move pillows and decorations out of bed. Before cleaning the mattress, you must remove all items on the mattress surface. Start by removing the top layers of items such as pillows, decorative pillows, blankets, toys, and other items. [1] X Research Source
- When moving the pillow out of the bed, you should remove the pillowcase to wash it.
- Fold blankets and move bed objects to another location in the room so they don’t get in the way while cleaning the mattress.

Remove the mattress. After moving all the decorations, pillows and objects on the bed surface, you should remove all layers of mattress such as the top cover, mattress fixation sheet, and the cover used to protect the mattress.
- Bring fabric sheets to the laundry along with pillowcases. [2] X Trusted Source Consumer Reports Go to Source

Wash all bed linen and sheets. After removing everything from the bed and leaving only the mattress empty, you should start the washing process. Wash sheets, mattress covers, and pillowcases in the washing machine during mattress cleaning. This way, you will keep the bed completely clean.
- Read and follow the instructions for washing fabrics. Use hot water as much as possible and set the drying setting to kill bacteria or dust mites hiding in the mattress. [3] X Research Sources
- If using a duvet, you should remove the duvet cover and wash it with the mattress.
Cleaning and deodorizing the mattress
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/7f/Clean-a-Mattress-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a-Mattress- Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/7f/Clean-a-Mattress-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Clean-a-Mattress-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Dust extraction. The first step in cleaning the mattress is vacuuming. Vacuuming helps remove house mites, dust, dead skin, hair, and other debris from the mattress. You should use a vacuum cleaner with a large brush when cleaning the top mattress. Use the long nozzle to suck all the dust out of the crevices, edges, edges, edges and corners of the mattress.
- Before vacuuming, make sure to clean the nozzle and brush attached to the vacuum cleaner. [4] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f0/Clean-a-Mattress-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a-Mattress- Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f0/Clean-a-Mattress-Step-5-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Clean-a-Mattress-Step-5-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Treat spills. You should immediately deal with water stains on the mattress. Wet a clean towel with cold water and blot the stain. Do not rub too hard to avoid water seeping deeper into the mattress. Absorb until the towel absorbs any excess water on the mattress. [5] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/77/Clean-a-Mattress-Step-6-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a-Mattress- Step-6-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/77/Clean-a-Mattress-Step-6-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Clean-a-Mattress-Step-6-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Remove stains. Mix 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of hydrogen peroxide with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of dishwashing liquid in a small bowl. Use a spatula to stir until the mixture is foamy. Dip an old toothbrush into the foam and gently rub it over the dirty mattress. Wipe off excess water with a clean, damp cloth. [6] X Research Source
- For foam mattresses, you should only use extremely small amounts of cleaning solution to avoid wetting the foam.
- This solution can effectively treat stains caused by dust, food and drinking water.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/35/Clean-a-Mattress-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a-Mattress- Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/35/Clean-a-Mattress-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Clean-a-Mattress-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Remove biological stains with an enzyme cleaning solution. Spray some enzyme cleaning solution onto a clean towel. Dab the towel over the stain and let it sit for 15 minutes. Use the same towel to continue dabbing on the dirty area to remove the stain. Blot the treated area with a clean cloth dipped in cold water.
- Do not spray cleaning solution directly onto the mattress. Do not let the mattress get wet, especially the foam mattress, so you should use the cleaning solution as little as possible during the stain treatment process.
- Enzyme cleaning solution can break down proteins in blood, urine, sweat, vomit and other biological stains. This solution also helps effectively deal with grease stains. [7] X Trusted Source Consumer Reports Go to Source

Sprinkle baking soda on the mattress. After treating the stain, you can clean and deodorize the entire mattress by sprinkling a lot of baking soda all over the surface of the mattress. [8] X Research Sources
- For a pleasant scent, you can stir 5 drops of your favorite essential oil into baking soda before sprinkling it on the mattress.
- To evenly sprinkle baking soda, you can pour baking soda over the sieve and spread it evenly over the mattress through the sieve.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/ba/Clean-a-Mattress-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a-Mattress- Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/ba/Clean-a-Mattress-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Clean-a-Mattress-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Wait a while for the baking soda to absorb the smell. You should leave the baking soda on the mattress for about 30 minutes. This gives the baking soda time to break down the acid, absorbing odors and remaining liquids in the stain removal process. [9] X Research Source
- You can leave baking soda on the mattress for a few hours if you have time. The longer the baking soda is left on the mattress, the higher the absorption and cleaning effect.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/3e/Clean-a-Mattress-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a-Mattress- Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/3e/Clean-a-Mattress-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Clean-a-Mattress-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Vacuum the mattress again. After letting the baking soda sit on the mattress for enough time, you can vacuum all the baking soda out of the mattress. Acids, odors and water absorbed in the baking soda will be removed with the baking soda. Use a brush to treat the top of the mattress and a long hose to suck up the baking soda in the corners, crevices, seams and contours of the mattress.

Air-dry the mattress. After cleaning, you should expose the mattress to the air for a while to dry out any remaining water on the mattress. Water trapped inside the mattress can cause mold and is difficult to clean.
- When the weather is warm and hot, you can open the window to let cool air from outside enter the room and dry the mattress faster.
- You can also open curtains and blinds to let in the sun because UV rays from the sun can help kill bacteria and mold on the mattress, eliminate odors, and dry the mattress faster. [11] X Research Source
Protect mattress
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e4/Clean-a-Mattress-Step-12-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a-Mattress- Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e4/Clean-a-Mattress-Step-12-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Clean-a-Mattress-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Flip or rotate the mattress. For a regular mattress that doesn’t distinguish the top and bottom, you can turn the other side up to lie down. Or you can simply rotate 180 degrees for mattresses with clear top and bottom sides. This helps the mattress surface settle more evenly when lying down.
- Every 3-6 months, you should turn or rotate the mattress once to make the mattress sink more evenly. [12] X Trusted Source Consumer Reports Go to Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/d/d3/Clean-a-Mattress-Step-13-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a-Mattress- Step-13-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/d/d3/Clean-a-Mattress-Step-13-Version-2.jpg/ v4-728px-Clean-a-Mattress-Step-13-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Use mattress protector. This is the plastic wrap that keeps the mattress safe. You can insert the mattress into a cover like a duvet cage into a duvet cover, then zip it up to prevent the mattress from getting water, dust, dirt, or even bed bugs.
- You can also purchase a bag or mattress cover to protect the top of the mattress and prevent it from getting wet and dusty. [13] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/2d/Clean-a-Mattress-Step-14-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Clean-a-Mattress- Step-14-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/2d/Clean-a-Mattress-Step-14-Version-3.jpg/ v4-728px-Clean-a-Mattress-Step-14-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:” <div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Recover the bed. After cleaning, drying, turning and protecting the mattress, you can spread clean sheets on the mattress. You should start with the mattress fixing sheet, then the top sheet. Put the pillow back in the pillowcase, then put the pillow, mattress, and decorations back on the bed.
- You should run your hand across the mattress to check if the mattress is still wet before re-spreading the bed. If you put sheets and blankets on a wet mattress, the mattress will not dry out and produce mold. [14] X Research Source
