Skin problems, insomnia and headaches are also symptoms that we must take into account. If your mattress is more than 10 years old, these will be one of the most obvious effects on our health.

HOW TO CLEAN AND DISINFECT OUR MATTRESS

What do I need to clean and disinfect my mattress?

A glass of baking soda (250 grams).
5 drops of tea tree essential oil.
A plastic container with a lid.
A strainer or sieve.

HOW DO I DO IT?

The first thing we will do is remove the sheets and take the mattress to a place where the sun shines and where we have enough space to move and clean it. The ideal is, without a doubt, a balcony or terrace.

WHY ARE WE GOING TO USE BAKING SODIUM?

Because it is an essential, economical and effective element to help us in our daily cleaning. It allows us to eliminate humidity, deodorize and eliminate all types of bacteria, dirt and, above all, annoying mites. As for tea tree essential oil, as you already know, it is one of the best natural disinfectants that exist. You can easily find it in natural stores. It is not expensive and will be used for a multitude of applications: to make hand sanitizers, to clean the bathroom, or the kitchen… It has a pleasant smell and will also make your mattress have that pleasant “new” aroma again.

What we are going to do is very simple. Take a plastic container and place 250 grams of baking soda in it. Now add the 5 drops of essential oil and stir well so that the two things mix.

Now, using a sieve or strainer, spread this mixture based on baking soda and essential oil on your mattress. First we will do it on one side and allow it to act for an hour. Next, do it on the other side and let it act for an hour as well. In this way, we will disinfect our mattress.

Finally, all you have to do is run your vacuum cleaner over the surface of the mattress to remove all the dirt stuck to the baking soda. As you can see, this is a really easy trick and ideal to do once a month. In this way, you will get a deeper and healthier rest, you will notice it especially when you get up in the morning.
