How to Disinfect Your Mattress in 6 Steps

To clean your mattress without risking damage, it’s important to follow the manufacturer's instructions. Generally, the following guidelines apply to most popular models, especially those with memory gel.

Here’s the easy procedure to follow at least once a year, ideally every six months:

Remove Sheets: Change the sheets weekly, especially in summer. Ideally, wash them at 60 degrees using a disinfectant detergent or add baking soda and white vinegar.

Clean the Cover: The method depends on the fabric. If the cover is removable you should use a delicate washing programm on your washing machine. If the cover is not removable, then read How to clean your mattress perfectly.

Vacuum: The internal structure should be treated gently. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust, especially from the edges.

Disinfect: To thoroughly disinfect the mattress, use a damp cloth with baking soda. Be careful not to soak it too much, as water can damage materials like foam.

Let it Dry: Open the windows and leave the mattress uncovered until it’s completely dry.

Air Daily: Every day, move the sheets and let the mattress air out with the window open. Remember, it comes into contact with our body every night, which releases moisture.
