How to Deodorize A Mattress with Baking Soda

Deodorizing the mattress is an option. Even though we might not smell any odor from the mattress it can hold smells from sweat and other funky aromas. If you have little ones making accidents those smells can be trapped in the mattress as well. To remove odors from mattresses use baking soda. Spread the baking soda over the entire mattress; rub it in so it penetrates deep into the mattress. Allow the baking soda to sit for 10 minutes and vacuum up as much as possible. If any moisture is in your mattress the soda will pull it out when vacuuming, helping you to remove odors. (Some like to add essential oils like lavender, peppermints and winter green however you can use your preferred scent).
 

Mattress Urine, Blood, Vomit & Sweat Stain Removal

Mattresses will encounter stains. The most common are urine, blood, vomit, sweat and other bodily fluids. It’s much easier to clean stains as they happen but sometimes we don’t get to them. So removing old stains may take some effort.
Mattress Urine Stain Removal. Create a cleaning solution using 8 oz. hydrogen peroxide. Add 3 tablespoons of baking soda then a drop or two of liquid dish soap. You can dab or use a spray bottle to put the solution on the stain. Don’t over soak it or you can pull the urine deeper into your mattress. Allow the area to dry then vacuum again.
How Do You Get Blood Out of Mattress. These can be a major pain to remove but they aren’t impossible. Start making the cleaning solution. (This will look like a paste). Use 1/4 cup of hydrogen peroxide, add a tablespoon of liquid dish soap and another tablespoon of salt. Once the mixture is done rub it into the stain. There should be some residue. Let it dry and scrape the residue away. Lightly soak a white cloth with hydrogen peroxide and dab at the stain. This should lift the remainder of the stain up. (Do not use color cloths as the dye can run into your mattress).
How to Clean Vomit, Sweat or Other Bodily Mattress Stains. Remove vomit, sweat or other bodily fluids with straight unscented ammonia. Blot the stain using a damped cloth of ammonia. Again don’t soak or drench your mattress. Sprinkle some baking soda over the stain to remove any smells and let it dry. Vacuum the area removing thoroughly. Flip the mattress over and repeat on the other side.
