What Your Mattress Says About Your Home

Sep 22

Your Mattress Needs a Cleaning Too. Here's What You Should Know.

You wash your sheets.

You change your pillowcases.

You clean your duvet.

But when was the last time you thought about the mattress underneath all of it?

Your mattress is one of the most frequently used items in your home, yet it is often one of the most overlooked when it comes to cleaning.

Our founder, Rechelle Balanzat, has shared her cleaning expertise with Architectural Digest, including advice on how to clean and care for a mattress.

Over time, mattresses can collect sweat, skin cells, dust, spills, and other everyday buildup.

Even if your sheets are washed regularly, your mattress itself still needs attention.

One of the easiest ways to keep your sleeping environment fresh is to stay consistent with your sheets, pillowcases, blankets, and duvet covers.

Regular laundering helps keep the layers closest to your body clean.

One common mistake is using too much water when attempting to clean a mattress.

Mattresses are not designed to be saturated.

Moisture that gets trapped inside can create a whole new set of problems.

Regularly vacuuming your mattress can help remove surface dust and debris.

Use the appropriate attachment and pay attention to seams and edges where buildup can collect.

Mattress stains should be addressed carefully.

Avoid aggressively scrubbing or soaking the area.

Depending on the material and the type of stain, professional cleaning may be the better option.
