whats the best way to clean a bed mattress?
By fthomas | May 30, 2009
I read an article about dust mites, and the article said that they live in mattresses—-what it failed to report was the best way to get rid of dust mites. Any ideas on the best way to clean a mattress??

regular VACUUMING is the best way. It removes the dead skin flakes that the mites feed on, as well as the mites themselves.
I also spray my mattress with Eucalyptus Oil aerosol, you may like another disinfectant type Glen 20 spray.

Dust mites are parasites. They need blood to stay alive. I’ve found the best way to clean the mattress is to vacuum it thoroughly, lightly spray it with upholstery cleaner, gently rub it in. Let it dry then vacuum it again. Make sure you clean your linens and blankets too. You should keep your bedclothes clean. Wash them at least every two weeks. Vacuum your mattress once a month. It’s also a good idea to flip your mattress now and then. Not only can it keep dust from accumulating, but it helps your mattress last longer.
