How to Keep Your Mattress Clean and Protected

Cleaning a mattress may conjure images of scrubbing, spending a lot of money, and a huge mess. But don’t fret; it can be as simple as 1, 2, 3, or a colander, baking soda, and a vacuum. Mesh colanders can be purchased for under $2.00, baking soda is innocuous, and every home has a vacuum cleaner. The baking soda is a natural cleaner and natural odor eliminator.

1. Get a clean mesh colander from your kitchen and fill it halfway with plain baking soda. Shake and tap the side of the colander and sprinkle baking soda evenly all over your mattress.
2. Let the baking soda stay on the mattress while you do some other things, and come back later with a vacuum and cleaning attachments in hand.
3. Vacuum the baking soda off the mattress. If you wish, you can let it air out a bit longer before your put your mattress protector and sheets back on.

Just as important as cleaning your mattress is protecting it! To help keep the mattress free from dust and allergens, use a mattress protector. Need something to avoid stains from sweat or spills? Use our REM Fit Energize Smooth Mattress Protector. It is waterproof and will fit over a pillow top mattress pad. 

Another mattress protector type to consider is the REM Fit Motivation Mattress Protector that provides intense moisture protection and has a little padding. You will not lose any of the moisture absorption even though it feels smooth and silky.

Our protectors are made from TENCEL®, so they will not squeak like plastic versions. This material is soft and silky to the touch, softer than cotton and quiet to sleep on.

If you are looking for something a little more plush for your pillows, try the REM Fit Motivate Plush Pillow Protector. It provides the same amazing protection with a bit of padding for comfort and relaxation. Keeping away dust mites and their, gulp, droppings. 

Ahhhh, now you can close your eyes and get some fabulous zzzzzzzzs in your clean and comfortable bed. Sweet Dreams!
