Refresh Your Mattress

Start with the mattress care label. Baking soda and essential oils are not universally approved, and a deodorizing treatment cannot solve a wet or mold-damaged mattress.

Refresh without saturating

1. Remove bedding and launder the sheets, protector, and removable cover only as their labels allow.
2. Air the mattress in a dry, ventilated room. Avoid direct heat and soaking.
3. Vacuum the surface only if the mattress maker permits it, using the recommended attachment and gentle setting.
4. Spot-clean only with the permitted product and amount of moisture. Blot rather than scrub and let it dry completely.
5. Refit dry covers and bedding. Rotate or flip only if the model is designed for it; many mattresses should not be flipped.

Check the result

Check odor and dampness before remaking the bed. Persistent odor, visible growth, or a history of flooding needs advice from the manufacturer or a qualified cleaning professional; fragranced powder can mask the problem.

Do not add essential oils to the surface. If a maker explicitly permits a powder treatment, follow its removal instructions and ensure your vacuum is suitable for fine powder.
