In periods like this, characterized by impressive heat, you may sweat especially during your sleep. Well, the truth is that the bed will also be dirty: that is why it is necessary to refresh and disinfect the mattress.
Have you ever gotten out of bed in a sweat at least once after, perhaps, a bad night? And do we want to talk about the dust mites that live unopposed between our sheets? Here are some methods that involve the use of natural ingredients used by our grandmothers who really knew a lot!
Renew the mattress: here is the solution
We’ll show you how to create an exceptional solution for refreshing your mattress. First, place two tablespoons of baking soda in a bowl where you previously placed the water (about 500 ml). Also include 25 drops of lavender essential oil or perhaps tea tree oil.
Baking soda is excellent for ensuring good mixing with different ingredients and for disinfecting and fighting mold. Lavender essential oil gives a unique aroma and also helps with sleep.
To apply it to the mattress, simply use a cloth soaked in solution and let dry. A spray bottle can also be helpful.
Fight against mites
Mattresses are also favorite places for dust mites . Therefore, using some tricks to scare them and eliminate their gifts can be really essential. First of all, you must use a vacuum cleaner to try to suck up the insects and possibly their eggs.
Then, we sprinkle everything with baking soda and use a brush to distribute it in each corner of the mattress. Let it sit for a few hours and vacuum to remove the excess. The operation must be carried out on each side and periodically.
Refreshes the mattress by removing stains
Another way to make the mattress fresher and more aesthetically pleasing is to remove any stains present. Let’s think about the yellow spots that tend to form, generally caused by sweat.
We could use vinegar , spray it and let it sit for at least ten minutes. Then sprinkle a little baking soda and leave to act. The stain will be removed!
Other stains may also appear, such as blood stains . In this case, you have to use another trick. Mix a cup of hydrogen peroxide with a little salt and Marseille soap. At this point we create a kind of paste and pour the mixture onto the mattress.
We leave it to act until everything dries and begin to remove the waste. We touch it carefully with a cloth soaked in hydrogen peroxide and after a while we will notice the surprising result!
