There is no need to use expensive fragrances or products to eliminate the unpleasant smell of the mattress. Even if there are different solutions on the market, it’s best to choose natural cleaning products instead.
Baking soda
Baking soda is one of the most effective organic ingredients you can use to remove the unpleasant smell from the mattress. Its deodorizing properties neutralize the nasty smell caused by mold and sweat.
In addition, baking soda acts as a natural detergent, helping to remove stains of any kind. At the same time, this product protects the fabric of the mattress, making it last longer over time.
In the solution below, we will strengthen the properties of baking soda with another very effective ingredient when it comes to in-depth cleaning: hydrogen peroxide.
Ingredients:
– ¼ cup of baking soda (50 g)
– 1 cup of hydrogen peroxide (250 ml)
– 2 drops of liquid detergent
Method of preparation:
Pour the baking soda into a bucket and add hydrogen peroxide.
Mix well, and then add the liquid detergent drops.
Put the mixture in a spray bottle.
How to use:
Shake the bottle before use and spray the solution on the mattress.
Let it work for a few hours until it dries up. If possible, move the mattress into fresh air.
After it has dried, rub the surface with a brush to remove the baking soda traces.
Repeat this at least once a month.
White vinegar to eliminate the unpleasant smell of the mattress
White vinegar doesn’t have a pleasant fragrance, but it’s one of the best solutions to remove the unpleasant smell from the mattress. In addition, this product eliminates mites and bacteria found on the surface of the mattress, and is also an anti-allergic solution.
However, it’s best to apply white vinegar with moderation because you don’t have to wipe the mattress. For a more pleasant flavor, you can mix it with essential lavender or lemon oil.
Ingredients:
– ½ cup of white vinegar (125 ml)
– 1 cup of hot water (250 ml)
– 10 drops of essential oil of any kind
Method of preparation:
Dilute vinegar in warm water.
Adds the essential oil and pours the mixture into a spray bottle.
