Tried this, works amazing.. Best cleaning method I've found and affordable!! Thank you!!

[@Sleepopolis]

Glad it helped!

[@pauldowell9823]

This process works very well!! I wish I'd taken before and after pics to prove it. Thank you for posting this (so many years ago).

[@Sleepopolis]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Esther-ps3vx]

This is the best cleaning video I found. I will be using this method. Thank you.

[@Sleepopolis]

Glad it was helpful!

[@priscillamukiibi]

Thank-you so much. I love videos that are short, straight to the point, well filmed and edited and has so much information! Great video

[@catherinehouston4684]

I tried this, and it sort of worked. The stains slightly faded, but not as much as the video showed (I think because my stains are older) One thing I would like to say about this is the process pulls out the smells of anything that’s been on the bed. So if your trying to clean out pee, get ready for the mattress to smell like pee. I’m going to try and air out the room and put some essential oils on it to try and get rid of the smell. But I do feel like this is a good way to get the mattress clean. I just might do some extra cleaning after the process is done

[@MashaNaidenko]

Did you use vinegar? I’m not sure why it’s in the items we need since it wasn’t added anywhere during the process

[@pheebthedweeb5652]

@@MashaNaidenko it was in the suggestion at the end for biological stains like blood :)

[@asmrnina3237]

Wow. Finally a solution that actually works! I have a badly stained mattress and even though it has a cover, I was nervous about removing the cover as I doubt I could get it back on so I decided to try these steps instead though I was not expecting much. I took before and after pictures and WOW I am blown away by the difference. It made a great job of the mattress. There are some slight stains remaining but they are much much fainter than before and I am thrilled with the results. Thank you Sleepopolis

[@adammccarn6935]

Thank you. Im cleaning an old mattress cover in stains that im using in a guest bedroom

[@buneface]

Really great information Sarah! Simple enough and no fancy or toxic cleaning solutions involved. Will be doing it this weekend. Thanks Sarah!

[@jimgodwin5333]

Oh q

[@SOLDOZER]

How do you know this is "great information" if you have not even done it? Maybe it does not work at all?

[@cathyb3928]

This was amazing. I had an incident happen with an expensive mattress with a removable cover, but even taking it to dry cleaners did not work. I wish I had known this. Am going to write it all down, like a recipe and put with my essential oil files, so I do not have to hunt for it. It is awesome being able to use healthy things in your home to clean, and not chemicals. One cannot go wrong with Water, Baking Soda, Vinegar, and clear liquid detergent. ( using a natural one)... Thank you for this!

[@nickib7169]

Great tips, thanks! I keep mattress protectors on all of my kids' mattresses, but I love how you used common household items found in just about anyone's home, and that they were natural!

[@rlud304]

I’m excited to try this but quick question, does the hydrogen peroxide not bleach or leave bleach stains? Does the diluting in 1:1 with water prevent that from happening?

[@liba4593]

Never have I ever been this early before, but I'm so excited to learn how to clean mattresses. I wanted to know since I learned we gotta clean it once a week.

[@DailyWomanBlog]

I need to try this. Our mattress has some sweat stains where my husband has sweat through the mattress cover.

[@barbarapacific4413]

I have heard of vacuuming but not the baking soda, when I get a new mattress I will be following these tips every 6 months

[@barbarapacific4413]

@Tmslogig even though you have a mattress cover in the review it says you should still clean your mattress at least twice a year, and if I'm actually lucky enough to win a new mattress, I will take care of it the best I can.

[@robinweidner2402]

I have used some of these in the past..but maybe not in the same way..SO thanks I am always looking for a better way. But my best defense I have used is the WATERPROOF MATTRESS COVER..THANKS SO MUCH

[@eltravos99]

Thanks! My mattress is nasty with yellow stains for a couple of years now. I've just been too ignorant to take care of it. It's either from my sweat or my dog peeing on it. I will try this method and let you know if it worked!

[@michaelchevillot4557]

I agree that a mattress protector is a smart proactive way to go to avoid cleaning accidents. These tips were great.

[@samu_el_pack]

groundbreaking

[@damlaserper2636]

Can we use first hydrogen peroxide spray, baking soda and afterwards as a second layer on top vinegar spray and baking soda or would it be a problem to combine these?

[@reapedspartan8172]

Does this remove odors from the mattress? And doesn't baking soda destroy vacuum cleaners?

[@flynnaz]

Cleaning tips are always welcome thanks for showing the DYII method going to be very helpful

[@DisguisedHorse3916]

Any tips for actual dirt on a mattress that has been stored?

[@moyraadams]

This worked perfectly. Thank you.

[@SassyDonna]

Thank you so much for these tips! And it is stuff we have around the house. I love how you showed it step by step. I never would have thought of using a sift, to spread the baking soda on the bed.

[@SuperJamesus]

Sadly i got all the materials and followed this, and after 10 hours my mattress looks so much worse and is still damp. All the black ring marks have become so much darker.. going to try spot cleaning with the white vinegar but for me this has the opposite of the desire effect... suggestions welcome ..

[@serkjen]

Great tips! It is nice to know you don't need to purchase a special cleaner. I never would have thought to vacuum the mattress. Thanks!

[@jessicatorres6906]

Hi! Great video! I have a question: can I use this cleaning method on an Ikea mattress so I don't have to remove its cover? Thanks!

[@sachs3968]

Wow, that's tons of baking soda. But holly molly, before/after pics are amazing. I like adding a few drops of essential oil to the solution idea! Thank you!

[@angelsmith8905]

She went mad crazy with the baking soda! She went all out!

[@Metalhead-4life]

Please do a thorough video on mattress protectors, the more the better. I'm having a very difficult time finding one that is somewhat liquid proof and breathable! You guys may have done one already but a follow up would be appreciated

[@wendylai1577]

Thank you for your demo & ingredients

[@Sleepopolis]

Any time!

[@bobbicobalt8436]

This is so interesting. I get that baking soda would work wonders but had never thought about cleaning a mattress with it. Great advice and tips!

[@danielwaters306]

What about blood or other bodily fluids will this work on those

[@cnssegura]

What would you suggest for ink on a mattress? In the case of my current mattress it's shoe polishing ink. I haven't been able to remove no matter how much I try. :(

[@sandyeriksen7135]

Thank you so much ! Who would have thought, on all the house hold items. What is the best vacuum to use on mattresses and upholstery?

[@jaymeeredada7555]

may i know what's the white vinegar for?

[@haleypaul2865]

Where does the vinegar get applied?

[@claudiamolina6623]

how much vinegar is needed for the one cup peroxide and 1 cup of water with a few drops of clear soap? Loved the presentation

[@sethkarim5786]

This is a pretty good method that i will try if i get any stains. I use a mattress protector that i machine wash once a week so i don’t really get my mattress dirty. I don’t eat, drink or have any pets to worry about. Sweat stains is probably the only thing i have to worry about since i tend to be a hot sleeper. Thanks for the video, very helpful and informative👍

[@e.5911]

Thanks for sharing .. do we need the vinegar?

[@jenniferpepler5843]

This is a great video! I wonder if it will work for old water stains that went unnoticed because it was in a trailer that had a roof leak we did not know about. It sat for close to 2 years because we never took the trailer out in 2020. really appreciate this video, thank you

[@craigslocum9172]

Good advice, I've had success using these products, best to not let the stain dry and set in

[@vacationistheanswer]

Thanks for the cleaning ideas....I buying a protector for my next mattress!

[@CVRCI]

Can the peroxide be replaced by alcohol?

[@rhondas2193]

Love this & the simple household ingredients! I'll be, hopefully, getting a new mattress in the near future and I'll definitely keep these tips to protect my investment and stay healthy.

[@alfonsomorales8268]

Wouldn't a black light help to identify hard to see stains to clean more thouroughly???

[@GingerSnap0_0]

This is the best cleaning tutorial!!! I have been Watching allot of theese videos do to obvious reasons , and all the other videos have been mis leading or frustrating

[@Sleepopolis]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kimsyracuse1614]

Yes was just wanted fine out about I did have urine tract infection and I want a few times now that problems and holding my urine so what else can I do I use the plastic but the cover of my mattress but I'm allergic to plastic now what is the best solution to use soap I don't have to clean my mattress every week

[@precioussvq]

Is there anything you can use instead of baking soda?

[@LindaKwolekHazelBear]

Ahhhh, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm excited to clean my grand daughter's mattress. :)

[@Justin-sx6se]

Did it work I have a mattress with deep old stains

[@warrenkbelljr2129]

Lady I'd like to thank you for coming up with this idea because right now I am fighting a bed bug situation and. My ass went to dollar general and some green alcohol and on my mattress not knowing that it was going to stain my mattress but once I looked up your stainless removing solution everything turned out alright you're a lifesaver ✌👋👍

[@PrettyPatrick]

I used bleach with water, some peppermint castille soap, a bit of fabuloso and lemon comet spray.. and a tooth brush..I did use hydrogen peroxide at first but I found it not necessary, because my mattress became white without the peroxide, if you have blood on your mattress then I would use the peroxide.

[@ArhamANDahmed]

Bleach will be safe?

[@PrettyPatrick]

@@ArhamANDahmed yes but in very small amounts.. 2 or 3 table spoons of bleach should be enough

[@ArhamANDahmed]

Ok thank you

[@candysheets3947]

This is the video I needed to watch but my mattress needs to go!!!! I love the DIY ingredients for the cleaning!!

[@MashaNaidenko]

Wait, what’s the vinegar for…?

[@NidhiChauhan09]

Thank you so much for all mattres cleaning steps and tips. Our almost 10 years old mattress has so many stains on it, i can't wait to implement your method. Thanks for nontoxic cleaning solution idea.

[@Justin-sx6se]

Did it work?

[@ischeidemann7697]

Did it work as expected?

[@lisahayes4064]

So thankful for waterproof mattress covers and thanks for the DIY tips!

[@JJ-xz1vu]

Is this also great for pet stains?

[@lisaa7718]

Had no idea! I use a waterproof mattress cover but good to know what I can use if needed.

[@jaguarlady1]

I wish I saw this before lugging the carpet shampooer (using the furniture attachment of course) upstairs, this is way easier! Thank you for this!

[@tcaponeoone1937]

What’s the best waterproof mattress protector

[@wildcard749]

the one you use

[@starwyatt8473]

How much vinegar?

[@oscarjanek6291]

Hiya I have a couple of questions regarding the additional tip, mentioned from 4.20 1. If it’s suitable for blood/ urine, would it be suitable for tea stains? 2. Would I use this method in addition to the main method? Say I wanted to clean my entire mattress, but had additional tea stains which I wanted to give extra attention to, would I go over the whole mattress using the hydrogen peroxide / dish soap solution IN ADDITION TO applying the white vinegar/ water solution? 3. And finally, if I were to go over tough stains with the vinegar/ water solution, how how long should I leave it to dry for? Would it be overnight? Thank you very much 😁 Hope this made sense 😂

[@rishikamalsweb]

I have heard don't mix vinegar and Hydrogen peroxide .

[@logancougs]

What great information! I didn't know it could be so easy.

[@catmom1322]

It appears you only have one mattress, not one & a box spring. I have the luxury of turning my top mattress over. I still think I'll clean it your way 1st! I had a week of incontinent diarrhea & urination that was uncontrollable & it was a nightmare! Thank you for this advice! When I get stronger, I'll definitely do it your way!

[@matiurrehman158]

Where did you use the vinegar? 🙄

[@jenniferhaywood652]

What do you do when some parts become hard after you attempted to clean it?

[@coleenosmond3035]

This looks like a long process but if it works as good as you showed than i guess its worth it and i for sure like the idea of adding essential oils...but to prevent having to go through all of this i agree with the mattress protector...protect your investment

[@parrisestatessouthernhomec3246]

Believe it or not in the mattresses company we use acetone to remove stains

[@jasonlahay5728]

What about the vinager?

[@Thetraveler1123]

Thanks

[@cindy2490]

Doesn’t hydrogen peroxide stain colors?

[@ashleighnyaruwabvu1993]

The edges of the spot I cleaned are turning yellow, is that normal??

[@Tasmim65]

Its left a white stain 😭 what should I do

[@DailyWomanBlog]

I do love that it used items that I have already in my home.

[@cirilo0620]

OMG, just seen this and I'm going to follow your instructions in the morning. Thank you so very much, you were amazing very through, I'm even going to write back after I do all that you suggested.

[@elspethmacdonald5937]

Thanks, most useful. Just what I wanted to hear. What's the name of the actress? Or should I say, what's your name, actress?! Thank you!

[@SuperWoodyboy]

STEAM CLEAN with a carpet cleaner using the upolstery attachment

[@twalrus1]

Start EVERY new mattress with mattress pad or mattress topper from $15 to $40 if you shop around). Every two or three months throw it in the wash with bleach, detergent and fabric softener (use the one for baby clothes if you want to sleep like a baby). Replace with a new one every 12 to 18 months. Your mattress will not be getting any stains.

[@AllAboutTheLovin73]

I use this method as well. One time my 2 year old spilled grape juice on the bed and I thought I would have to throw away my mattress. Also I use a pinch of either peppermint, lavender or orange oil and it makes the mattress smell wonderful and wards off bed bugs and dust mites. Thanks for sharing💜

[@poweralleys1]

Very helpful thanks for the info

[@stephaniefinchem2130]

Thank you for the tips

[@expatmom5516]

you gave great advice here, thank you

[@ArhamANDahmed]

I think Hydrogen peroxide is very common and cheaply available in west, but not here available easily and, where i found it’s expensive also, Plz advice something else also instead of Hydrogen peroxide

[@mayanniesaru4325]

Thank you

[@amunkhufu]

I followed the instructions but the smell of baking soda and the solution is not going away. I put the mattress outside, but still it's not fading. What am I missing here?

[@cutiehoneyful]

Thanks for this advice. :) Mattresses are tricky to clean.

[@jenniferphillips3195]

this is great information to have

[@dexterkun4307]

Wait a minute. I thought baking soda needs to be added in with the solution? Or it doesn't need to?

[@tlwest21]

Okay I don't know if it's just my hormones or what it is or if I'm just weird, but I cannot do mattress protectors. I will wake up in the middle of the night and my head is soaked and the common denominator is because of the mattress protector I'm fine once I get rid of that. Anyone else have this problem? That being said I have 3 pets and my mattress is totally gross now.

[@coffeechi1869]

You had vinegar but didn’t use it?

[@lalitham7009]

Thank you so much !

[@reemh1709]

Thats great ...thank you 😊

[@tribefenatic]

oh no wonder why i keep sending my washer dryer away for repairs i keep putting my mattress in it

[@ceeceediamond323]

I had purchased new foam mattress. Ugh my little Yorkies got mad because we left them at home snd the peed right in the center of it. I was so mad at her. Worst of all I had just washed all the mattress covers and pad. Stupid for not getting the water proof mattress cover in the first place. Ugh. Love my dogs but wasnt very happy ;(. Lesson learned.

[@Sleepopolis]

They didn't mean it!

[@kimsyracuse1614]

[@Aphex2nify]

Thank you! Such good information! I never thought about putting baking soda on my mattress before...or hydrogen peroxide! It's amazing what all baking soda is able to do. The before and after shots of that mattress are amazing. I'm over here kind of blown away!😲..haha. I've got the cleaning bug now after watching this- I'm about to rip off the sheets and start cleaning now! Then the carpet, car seats and floorboards..and O-yea, ME! I'm sure I'll be filthy after doing all that..I'll just pour baking soda over me and vacuum it off..hehe😉 j/k

[@yunidwiastti]

Thank youuu

[@ArhamANDahmed]

What if Hydrogen peroxide is not available easily?

[@coffeeandcommunity]

Thank you for this, I have a guest room mattress that I'll be attacking soon!

[@AnnoyedWithChat]

Brb running to the store to get 3 boxes of baking soda. 😂 This was insane to watch you get rid of those stains!!! Great video!

Did it work for you?
