Memory Foam Mattress Care and Maintenance

Even after dabbing, there are many options for spot cleaning. Spot-treat a small affected area with a cleaning solution designed for the specific stain type. You can find a lot of different recipes for solutions on the internet, or you can try some of our favorites that we've included below. You probably already have the ingredients for most concoctions lying around the house.

Getting Rid of Sweat Marks

Maybe you or someone you know has excessive sweating during the day or night. Avoid anxiety Use this simple cleaner to remove sweat stains from your mattress quickly and easily:

Remove Sweat Stains: An Answer

First, fill a large spray bottle with water, then add three tablespoons of baking soda and one drop of liquid dish soap. Incorporate 8 ounces of hydrogen peroxide.

Second, give the stain a quick spray. Leave the solution alone for 5-10 minutes. (The peroxide in the hydrogen peroxide solution can bleach, so don't leave it on for too long.)

Afterward, after about 10 minutes, wipe away the baking soda and moisture with a dry cloth or paper towel.

Cleaning Blood Spots

Remember that you need to take immediate action before blood stains on your mattress become permanent. Hot water will permanently set the stain, so don't use it. Like other bodily fluids (and vomit), blood is a protein stain. The key to removing protein stains is to treat them with a solution that degrades protein. Baking soda, an alkali, is used in the below recipe to help loosen the blood stain so that it can be scrubbed away.

Sticky Stain Remover for Blood

The first step is to make a paste out of baking soda and cool water, with the ratio being one part baking soda to two parts water.

Step 2: Dab the paste into the stain with a cool, damp cloth, working the paste into the stain.

Let the paste dry for 30 minutes.

Fourth, wipe it down again with a fresh, cold washcloth. The water temperature is likely low. It will be much more challenging to remove the stain if you use warm or hot water to wash it.

5. Gently press and dab to get rid of as much of the baking soda solution as you can.

If the stain still remains, try again with the above steps. Don't reapply anything until the first application has dried. Vacuum your mattress cover with the upholstery attachment if you find any lingering baking soda residue.

Eliminating Urine Marks

Urine stains are common if you have young children or pets. The sooner you treat the moisture, the less of a problem the stain will be on the mattress. Dab up as much liquid as you can with a dry towel or cloth.

Water is not urine stains. Thorough cleaning is required. In any other case, the dried product will have a pungent odor. Urine stains can be dealt with by:

First, spray some distilled white vinegar on the area and let it sit for a minute or two.

2. Blot up as much of the leftover solution as you can using a dry towel or a piece of paper towel.

Third, cover the wet spot with baking soda and wait (There's still more time to wait) Generally speaking, the best way to dry the cover and mattress thoroughly is to let the baking soda sit overnight. There will be no more vinegar or urine smell on the mattress thanks to the baking soda.

Fourth, use the upholstery tool on your vacuum to remove dust and debris.

How to Deodorize a Memory Foam Mattress

Your mattress, like your sheets and blankets, can become musty and emit an odor. In order to enjoy a pleasant night's sleep uncontaminated by any lingering odors—whether from pets or a particularly sweaty significant other—it's important to eliminate any lingering odors from your bed.

Memory foam mattresses can be quickly and easily deodorized by using a vacuum on them. (You can even temporarily flip your mattress to clean the bottom; just remember to flip it back for the most comfortable sleep). To further reduce musty odors in your mattress, consider the following:

• A spray bottle full of distilled white vinegar.
• Using baking soda (which is then vacuumed up after being sprinkled on the memory foam mattress).
• To remove urine stains and odors, use corn starch.
• A cover or protector for your mattress (to keep the dust, dirt, and smells out).

Is it okay if I take off my mattress cover and wash it?

It's inevitable that your memory foam mattress will get stained, but with regular cleaning and stain removal, it can be your faithful bed for years to come. Wanting to buy a bed with memory foam Shop Leesa

Can you clean a memory foam bed?

A memory foam mattress is, at its most basic, a piece of polyurethane foam that has many tiny air pockets packed into it. The memory foam on your bed can be spot cleaned with a steam cleaner, but it shouldn't be washed. Beds featuring memory foam are constructed with multiple layers of foam, which can result in a waterlogged mattress. It's possible that your memory foam mattress won't dry completely, leading to the growth of molds and mildew that will render it unusable.

Can a memory foam bed become unusable if it gets wet?

Providing the water stays in the mattress for longer than 24 hours, then yes. Polyurethane, the material used to make memory foam, is porous and airy. Its porous structure prevents moisture from evaporating. This is why the surface of a memory foam mattress can look dry while the core may be wet. Memory foam requires careful monitoring during the drying process. As long as you dry the mattress as soon as possible after a spill, it should be fine; memory foam is very resilient.
