hi welcome back I am Andrea Jean and in today's video I'm gonna be showing you
how to use baking soda for mattress cleaning this method is going to be
super easy and in fact you probably have some of this laying around in your
kitchen if not your refrigerator already after all this channel is all about
cleaning and organizing for busy women so if you haven't subscribed make sure
that you do so you do not miss any weekly uploads and if you enjoy the
video be sure to give it a thumbs up I feel just a little bit guilty because
my husband did end up making the bed today well we're gonna go ahead and
strip it all off and get to work and we'll leave it at the end for him so
what's really disgusting is that we sweat a pretty significant amount every
single night and even though you may have a mattress pad which is awesome
it still can seep through especially night after night so this is going to be
really effective when it comes to deodorizing and removing any moisture we
do not want any sort of moisture when it's in our mattress because that's
where things like to live and breathe also there are a ton of dead skin cells
that can seep through and that can lead to a lot of allergens and respiratory
issues and so doing this about that as often as you can I think is really
helpful so this is the mattress pad that I use it's nothing fancy I probably got
it at Target or Walmart but there is a whole market out there for various
mattress pads we're gonna take a look at the mattress and see what it looks like
see if there's any stains on here I'm not seeing any which is good awesome
so we're gonna go ahead and wash all of this up the recommendation is that you
do change your sheets every single week the next thing that I'm going to do is
go ahead and vacuum up this mattress I'm going to actually remove all the
attachments that you'll see here because I want it to be the most sucky possible
I know that sounds crazy but when I have attachments on it my particular vacuum
doesn't suck up as well and I really want to get everything down in the
cracks as best I possibly can to remove all of those dead skin cells yuck
what you want to be sure to do is make sure that you are getting deep in the
cracks of all areas of your mattress especially around the perimeter as well
now that you've got your mattress all that cubed up you're going to go ahead
and take your baking soda and sprinkle as much as you want all over your
mattress there is no specific recommendation you can be as liberal as
generous as you want so I've actually got to put quite a bit on here this box
is pretty much full so what let's see how much I end up using at the end
so I have used about a half a box here and again you can use as much or as
little as you want the next step is you're going to take a brush or in this
case I am just going to use my hand and you're gonna want to spread the baking
soda or sodium bicarbonate all across your mattress so that it is evenly
distributed as much as you can now some say that you should let it sit
for four hours some say it should be twenty-four hours I say let it sit as
long as you possibly can because I know you are all busy and a lot of times you
can't let it sit for a whole 24 hours so do the best that you can all right you
can see here that I got the majority of the baking soda spread hopefully evenly
across the mattress it is a little bit tricky to tell on mine because it is
pretty white and it's not because this is a brand new mattress in fact this is
several years old but some tips and tricks to keeping it nice as one having
a mattress cover to flipping your mattress every so often so that the
weight of your bed is evenly distributed across the mattress here and then it
will extend the life of the mattress and I keep up with it we don't eat in bed
just those general things that really help keep basically anything a clean and
white will help you now I'm going to go ahead and let the baking soda sit for
four hours I'm going to wash all of my linens up including this mattress cover
and I do wash the quilt as well in fact I'd like to switch out my quilt for a
duvet cover if you yourself have a duvet cover and you're looking for the best
way to put it on I actually have a whole video dedicated to that it's called the
California roll it is super fun I will link that video in the description box
as well to help you put your duvet cover on most effectively I'm going to go
ahead and start with this load right here really quick we'll wash the rest of
them later one recommendation especially if you're wanting to sanitize is make
sure that you put your wash setting on the hottest temperature possible now
that's been sitting for about four hours I'm going to go ahead and vacuum it all
up now if you're looking for some additional cleaning motivation and clean
with new videos I have a ton of them I'm channel it's like your very own cleaning
buddy kind of like a workout buddy it is we were fun cleaning with someone else
so take me with you as you sprint clean with Andrea Jane all right time to
vacuum
as a bonus you could add some essential oils to the baking soda if you want to
add just a little something extra little eucalyptus or a little lavender your
choice whatever you like if you enjoyed this video be sure to give it a thumbs
