For the past several years, GBS Enterprises in Nebraska has provided consumers with warranty plans to protect their furniture for up to five years. Underwritten by CNA Insurance and Starr Companies, a GBS warranty covers such furniture items as couches, rugs, and mattresses.
When cleaning your mattress, the first step is to remove all sheets and bedding. This includes a mattress pad, bedspread, duvet, and comforter. All of these items should be washed according to the manufacturer’s labels using hot water.
Next, you need to vacuum your mattress using the upholstery attachment. When doing this, it is best to start at the top of the mattress and work your way down. Focus on using narrow paths that overlap to ensure you don’t miss any part of the mattress top. Then, do the same thing on the sides of your mattress.
After vacuuming, check your entire mattress for stains; these are often left by bodily fluids. To remove these, spot clean them with the proper upholstery cleaner or with a mixture of mild dish detergent, baking soda, and hydrogen peroxide. Lemon juice and salt can also help remove stains.
Finally, you can deodorize the mattress by sprinkling baking soda over the entire surface. Gently rub the baking soda into your mattress and leave it to sit for at least 10 minutes. If possible, it is best to leave the baking soda for several hours or overnight, but this is not always practical. Carefully vacuum up all of the baking soda using the upholstery attachment.
Repeat these steps on the underside of your mattress.
