In periods like these, characterized by impressive heat, it can happen that you sweat especially even while you sleep. Well, the truth is that the bed will also be dirty: that’s why it is necessary to refresh and sanitize the mattress. Has it happened to you at least once that you get out of bed sweating after, perhaps, a bad night? And do we want to talk about the mites that live unopposed between our sheets? Here are a few methods that involve using natural ingredients used by our grandmothers who really knew a lot!
Cooling the mattress: here is the solution
We’ll explain how to create an exceptional solution to refresh your mattress. First, place two tablespoons of baking soda in a bowl where you had 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 proper mixing with the various ingredients and for disinfecting and fighting mold and mildew. Lavender essential oil, on the other hand, gives a unique scent and also helps with sleep. To pass it over the mattress, simply use a cloth soaked in the solution and then let it dry. A spray bottle can also be helpful.
Fighting mites
Mattresses are also a favorite place for dust mites. For this reason, using a few tricks to scare them away and eliminate those present can be truly essential. First of all, we should use a vacuum cleaner to try to suck up the insects and possibly their eggs. Subsequently, sprinkle everything with baking soda and with the help of a brush we must distribute it to each corner of the mattress. Let it sit for a couple of hours and use a vacuum cleaner to remove the excess. The operation should be performed on each side and periodically.
Refreshes the mattress by removing stains
Another way to make the mattress fresher and also more aesthetically pleasing is to remove the stains present. Let’s think about the yellow stains that usually form, these are usually caused by sweat. We could use vinegar, spray it and let it act for at least ten minutes. Next, sprinkle a little baking soda and leave it to act. The stain will be removed! Other spots, such as blood spots, may also appear . In this case, we should use another trick. We 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 over the mattress. Let it act until everything has dried and we begin to remove residues. We gently pat with a cloth soaked in hydrogen peroxide and after a while we will notice the surprising result!
