Beyond Sheets and Covers: Why Mattress and Pillow Cleaning Matters

Have you ever considered what makes up for most of the household dust? Surprisingly, it's mostly comprised of human skin cells. Despite our diligence in cleaning, we often overlook our mattresses and pillows, where these cells accumulate the most. Let's delve into why cleaning them is crucial and how to do it effectively.

Vacuum First: Start by thoroughly vacuuming your mattress to eliminate dust, mites, and dead skin cells. Ensure your vacuum attachments are clean for optimal results.

Treat Stains: Address any stains promptly using a mixture of hydrogen peroxide or oxidizing bleach with Soulfresh dishwash gel or for even better results you can use Soulfresh liquid laundry detergent. Apply the solution, gently scrub the stain, and allow it to sit for 10 minutes before wiping it away.

Baking Soda Refresh: Sprinkle baking soda mixed with a few drops of essential oil over the mattress surface to neutralize odours. Leave it for a few hours to absorb unpleasant smells and moisture.

Second Vacuuming: After the baking soda treatment, vacuum the mattress again to remove any remaining residue and debris. Consider placing it in a well-ventilated area or under sunlight to aid in drying.

Pillow Care: Don't forget about your pillows. Remove the pillow covers and wash them using an HE/High Efficiency Detergent like Soulfresh Liquid Laundry detergent for best results to ensure thorough cleaning and freshness.

By incorporating these steps into your cleaning routine every 3 to 6 months, you can maintain a healthier sleeping environment. Remember, your comfort and well-being depend on the cleanliness of your bedding. Don't overlook these essential tasks—it's time to give your mattresses and pillows the attention they deserve.
