This year I finally got a good vacuum and now air out and vacuum my mattress and pillows each time I change the sheets- what a game changer!!! I live near a busy intersection on a main st with lots of construction near by and sooooo much dust has been coming out. I have been doing this for a few months and I’m def breathing easier and it’s helping my allergies. Still got some good new tips from this video. Love the channel! Xo

[@Duszka]

Get a mattress encasement....we move a lot as a military family and honestly I love knowing it's not funky from a move.

[@caziontherise]

Yes my second bedroom mattress was in storage for years. I was throwing it out. I got to it and vacuumed it 30 min. The attachment had white in it. I lavendar lysoled it until it was damp. Set 2 hrs. I added a nozzle to 70% alcohol and damp it. Let it sit. Vaccum it and added a mattress cover. Good as new. I couldnt believe it.

[@donnacabot3550]

Exactly

[@marquitabortiz4718]

I see people put their sheet right-over the mattress. Oh no! My Mom always impressed on us we place a mattress pad first! Sometimes an encasement then a pad... It helps absorb the sweat we off during the the night!! It doesn’t get washed EVERY time.. but quarterly. THEN goes the fitted sheet. Then the top sheet. My Home Ec Prof. showed us how to make a bed up w/ a person in the bed.& emphasized we should fold our linens to accomplish just that! Make it easier; Length wise!! It make it soo easy to find the center & equalize the drop of the sheet so both persons get enough sheet. I see people billow the top sheet in the air then try to determine the middle. Nope. Perfect every time if you lay the center of the sheet length wise down.. then flip open the sheet. Prestó! It’s perfect!! Also, I think hospital corners are not taught. It makes the bed look sooo nice & neat! I can’t sleep in a messy bed. I recall my niece getting bit by a spider that crawled in bed w/ her. I told her the true story about my friend who had a brown recluse fall off the ceiling onto her back& her rolling onto to it causing it to bite her! It was HORRIBLE! I tried go lance it, but the pain was too intense. I shared the details. My niece makes her bed up EVERY day!! She don’t want surprises EVER! Other bed story.. my sisters burglar alarm went off while she was out of town... I was watching the house so I went to meet the police and they “cleared” the house ( w/ their weapons drawn. They came Bd k to tell me the house was beautiful.. BUT.. u should check one room.. it “ Looked like it got tossed!” I went in and it was the same nueces room.... I told the Officer.. sorry... that’s not burgled .. it’s just a preteens room!! She’s messy !! You should see her room now! She has the BF over all has to be perfect!! Ha ha!! motivation!!?? 🤣

[@BuuWaterloo]

As a person with allergies this is routine for me lmao, the only thing I haven't tried is the baking powder one because I don't have the vacuum for it. Another tip, treat our pillows the same way. I bought a protective case at Walmart, and when I wash everything on my bed (every two weeks, but I change my pillowcase every 4 nights to avoid acne and allergies), I let it breathe and vacuum it too. Besides I don't lay down or allow others to touch my bed if they haven't showered, even less if they went outside and carry pollution, dust, and who knows what with them. My bed is sacred and I'm very picky when it comes to it.

[@acakecat7581]

I wish I could set that level of boundaries and control. All I can do is hope my sheets are clean and nobody touched my bed

[@BooStarr888]

I love my purple mattress protector because of the elastic it has. It stays on the mattress until I take it off to wash it. Plus it stays cool all year round. Plus it’s stretchy to allow me to enjoy my mattress to the fullest. Love it. I even bought 2 to switch them out when one is being washed. 🥰 When I was in college I never thought twice about a mattress protector. I never thought I needed one. Then I learned why I do, and now I use one all the time. Never again will I go back.

[@joanengel9460]

Cotton barrier cloth zippered big bag to enclose entire mattress and another one for the box spring. These can prevent dust mites and skin cells from entering the mattress, and you can wash the barrier cloth. On top of the barrier cloth bag, a good thick mattress pad, also washable. Goes a long way to keep things clean. I like you suggestions as well.

[@MrPalomafly]

Or you could get a waterproof, dustproof mattress protector and not worry about this at all. My mom got me one when I was a student and she was worried about potential bed bugs. I can't imagine having a naked mattress now.

[@suegreenland5989]

[@robertoochoaRobert]

Damn its like you didnt see the end where she says get a matress protector.

[@RebelAlliance42]

It's still good to clean your matress, I have 2 layers of protection on my bed, waterproof and quilted, and I still deodorize and let my matress air out at least once a month, whether I open all my windows or put the dehumidifier on in my room for a couple of hours. Don't just rely on covers, it still needs refreshing.

Thanks for the video.... I've been doing all this since I bought my matress. I actually have a plastic water proof barrier I slide onto mine and then I put a quilted matress cover on that. My matress is now 23 years old! It's still in excellent condition and it's because I've always done what you taught in your video. I have to admit, when I go to a hotel I freak out. I'm such a germaphobe I literally wipe every hard surface down with wipes I bring on my trip. As far as sleeping on the matress, I bring a sleeping sack and my own pillow to lay on the existing sheets. I sleep much better this way. I just don't trust that hotels clean well. When I travel I don't travel light.

[@a.johnson1785]

It depends on the hotel and the general cleanliness. But I just try to put it out of my mind, and never walk on the carpet with bare feet.

My 82 year young Mom has always taken a suite case with spare bedding that included a mattress pad/cover, sheets and comforter when staying at a hotel. Step 1: Strip the bedding on the hotel room bed, make sure there are no creepy crawlers on the mattress, then remake the bed using her fresh clean bedding. Step 2: Relax and enjoy your stay while ensuring a nice restful night of sleep 😴 on her own clean fresh smelling bedding! I've learned all I know from my Beautiful Momma so of course this is my routine when staying at a Hotel.

[@RebelAlliance42]

This is especially important for teenagers! And especially those unfortunate teens with extra stanky body odour. I know one. They have 4 layers of protection on their bed under the sheet, a waterproof layer, a topper for extra comfort for growing bones, and a quilted layer to absorb that sweat and dead skin. All of them get washed once a week, as well as the 3 layers on their pillows. It really deals with 95% of the stankyness of their bedroom, the rest is taken care of when they take their washing out, the carpets get a refreshing clean, and the dehumidifier goes on for a couple of hours in the winter, or open the windows in the summer. It's also very important to have a strict "no food outside of the kitchen/dining area" rule to greatly prolong the life of ALL your furniture! Food. Ruins. Everything. I only allow water ourside of those areas, and I have a Bissell spot cleaner for extractions or emergency spot cleaning if needed, because accidents WILL AND DO happen. Especially those "teenage accidents" nobody talks about... yep, teenagers are dirty, smelly, messy creatures too sometimes, and sometimes they really can't help it, poor things ❤ keep in mind that they are going through A LOT of changes and they just need time and help learning how to deal with them, and it's hard! ❤

[@annmorneau]

I used to sell mattresses, and in my experience, the warranty is void on your mattress unless you use a mattress cover. It is worth it!

[@marirose756]

BTW, great vlog. As for staying at hotels pre-pandemic I checked the bed for bedbugs & never put my luggage on the floor or unpacked into the dressers. Bedbugs don’t care how much the bottom line of the hotel is; they travel where they wish. Btw, if you have 3 red itchy bumps near each other in repeated spots that’s a sign of bedbugs; it’s their breakfast, lunch, & dinner. Eww but true.

[@outdoorsun05]

Whenever I change my bed sheets, I also usually (every time I make my bed too) throw my pillows with clean cases into the dryer for about 5-10 minutes to "sanitize and fluff" them. I throw in a air freshener sheet to deodorize them from dander and/or head sweat. It feels refreshing to sleep on.

[@DrinkYourNailPolish]

Some mattresses come with a removable cover- be careful when taking that cover off as some mattresses are made cheaply with fiberglass. It should be illegal but b/c there's a cover there, companies can skirt the law. So check your mattress to see before you go all out.

For the health of you and your family, please get rid of it! They need to be well ventilated. With ours, I don't even really make the bed that often to keep air flowing and it is on a slat style frame, not a box spring. Check with your manufacturer on what they cover, or how to remedy it, if possible. I have a Zinus green tea mattress from Amazon, it's awesome and cheaper than other brands out there.

A mattress cover that you can wash monthly helps to keep things cleaner. Also we make our bed by pulling back our sheets and covers neatly. This allows the bed to breath every day.

[@EmBotBeepBeep]

So, on staying in hotels, if you can afford the packing space, I highly recommend bringing you own sheet, fitted sheet and full enclosure pillowcases. You can fit a surprising amount of bedding into one large zippable pillowcase. Most places you go, you’ll know what size beds you’ll be staying in. Strip the bedding, use your own sheets (with the flat sheet, you can still use the comforter), put up a DO NOT DISTURB/NO ROOM SERVICE tag. At the VERY LEAST, I recommend packing your own full enclosure pillowcases and always shower in the mornings. It sounds excessive but now in the midst of the pandemic, just the thought of staying in hotels now makes me feel so uneasy.

[@wendyfisher1533]

I’m so paranoid about staying on hotel mattresses. If driving, we pack bedding to lay overtop of the hotel bedding and don’t use their pillows. But when we fly it’s tougher, no room to pack bedding...so I don’t sleep very soundly ☹️

[@Cyndy101]

Great ideas Melissa! I never realized that baking soda was hard on our vacuum! I certainly don't have a shop vac. I guess I'll keep vacuuming my mattress on a regular basis and only use the baking soda a couple times a year and sparingly. I like to vacuum my mattress every month when I take the mattress protector off. I wash my sheet every weekend without fail. I love fresh bedding. I also sleep with multiple throws folded up all over the bed for the 2 cats and Gatsby to sleep on. I find the cats are especially guilty of leaving their hair behind so I launder those little blankets very often and that way it keeps better control of their hair. Gatsby is nonshedding so I rarely find his hair around. Speaking of cat hair, I saw your post about Molly's fur on your lap and I know that scene to well. I have come up with a small trick to help eliminate those situations. Brushing our cats is a job that we neglect because we sit down and then our cat come to us and we realize we need to brush her but the brush is in the other room in the grooming bucket. And we procrastinate it until next time. I decided to add a small decorative basket to my coffee table and that's where I keep only 1 thing, a cat brush! So now for the last year or so when the cats want to be brushed or I see the basket I reach for that brush and brush until their little hearts are happy. My one girl will stand on her back legs with her front paws on the table and that's her tell. She then will stay there while I brush her for 2 or 3 minutes. Now instead of brushing them basically never, they get brushed everyday very easily. They hardly have any hair coming out when I started doing it everyday and they very rarely throw up hair balls. I don't think they've tossed a hairball in at least 6 months. I can tell you that little lidded basket was the best idea I had. I also keep their nail trimmers in there and at the start of the month everyone gets their nails trimmed, like it or not. Just a little pet tip for you guys and sweet Molly. 😘😊💛

Oh my word!!! I totally try NOT to think about the mattress if I ever have to stay at a hotel. Even higher end hotels, Im still paranoid! I at least try to bring my own pillow cases regardless of what hotel it is. And a bottle of Lysol never hurt either!😅 GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!

I have been experiencing a stained mattress due to moisture of the room maybe its because of the site of the apartment and upon checking there are molds under my mattress. I have this mattress for years and cleaned it religiously but since i moved here it had molds less than 4mos 😅 i hate hate the smell and the stain i will try this trick thank u

So many good tips! One of the most informative videos I've watched

[@shirleygreen4371]

I flip my bed every month!

[@TheMissbabydiva]

I am never going on vacation without a mattress cover again😂😂😂

[@NoodlePassion]

I definitely was proud of myself when I saw the enzyme cleaner I use in this video. IM OFFICIALLY A GOOD ADULT NOW.

[@ekamarie6632]

Omg I was thinking that headboard is sooo freaking cute!! And then you mentioned dusting and it got a lot less cute realizing I’d have to dust every single little cut out often bc my dog is a shedder!

[@airtakcleaning]

thanks for useful tips for mattress cleaning

[@kristennd12]

Another super helpful video, thanks! My Maker's Clean Cloths are coming today in the mail (yay!) and I'm wondering if it's safe to use castile soap with them (in place of laundry detergent when washing them, as well as in the general purpose spray from your recipe, which I would use a microfiber cloth with)? Thanks again!!

I take a can of Lysol with me when I stay in a hotel. I take the coverlet off the bed. Motels and Inns I strip the bed, spray Lysol, and sleep on my own linen. In college, the dormitory had rubber mattresses. The last time I went camping, the cabin had rubber mattresses.

[@RosemarieSKikel]

Maybe inhaling the Lysol is worse than sleeping on the bed? It's tough to know what the right thing to do is!

[@ashftc]

I absolutely love your headboard!!

[@jasminjoseph3984]

Yes for the protector! I wasn't going to get one for my 6 year old then 4 year old and his mattress looks brand new! I wish I would have got one when we got our bed! That mattress cover has been through a lot! 😂 especially in the almost 3 years we have had it!

I had to sleep in a shady AF hotel in Montana one night when I was road tripping alone. Ah, adventurous youth.....I rolled into a fairly decent size town late at night assuming hotel vacancy was just a given Literally NOTHING was available but a single room in a shady dive, some random downstairs in the basement cinderblock unit. I slept on top of the mattress bedding (duvet pulled back) in my sleepingbag, in my clothes. Character building experience! Never take delaying hotel reservations lightly again.

I love your headboard. Very good tips 💕

[@nancyneal411]

Thanks for all the wonderful information!

[@martinaguilarking]

Haven’t watch your vids for so long. I missed this. Great job

[@carolm3469]

I was raised by my OCD Japanese Mom to always vacuum the mattress and air it out with windows open when the weather was good enough on linen laundering day. She grew up taking the mattress (futon) outside in the sunshine and they would beat them to remove dust and freshen them. We didn’t do the baking soda, though. I’m wondering if it builds up over time and gunks up the mattress filling? Hotel mattresses creep me out. I bring Lysol aerosol and unmake the bed when we check in, spray the comforter and mattress well and let it dry before I re-make the bed and then make it myself for the rest of the stay so housekeeping doesn’t have to touch the bed.

[@mattresseslab7599]

Nice tips, thanks

[@Miss.Thrillernightmare]

Thank you for sharing your experience. I am going to try the baking soda.

[@lisarobinson9621]

Please provide details of the Shop Vac you are using and the attachment. It would be cool if you did a video on this as well. Thanks bunches‼️

"Deep cleaning and bed bug cleaning are things that should be done by a pro" That's my great grandma

[@vmobile890]

Mattress encasement then blanket then sheet all can be easily cleaned .

[@numbertwochannel5011]

Alright I will try to put some of these to good use, my closet needs some work! Gonna put me on some Foo Fighters and Delta Parole and then I will try my best. Thanks for the inspiring video!

[@sunnyrivero7343]

The cheaper the hotel, the more likely I am to take my own large comforter in a duvet, wrap myself up in it like a burrito with my own pillow, and sleep on surfaces only I have ever touched. Thanks for this video. I'll be doing the sifted baking soda today on mattress and Tempurpedic topper.

[@valeriepilon7565]

I love your videos I have a memory foam mattress do you suggest the same cleaning method for memory foam mattress? Any suggestions? Thanks

[@jayerscios]

It's a good idea to leave your bed unmade in the morning to air out/dry. Make it b4 you go out for your day.

[@alexamunoz7943]

JAYE R yes! I’ve been rolling back the blankets for the morning and make the bed around noon. Then the kids mess it up. 😂 something about a freshly made bed just draws them like a magnet!

[@lamoon1525]

My mama was german, and she opened the windows every day...rain, shine, snow etc...for at least 10 to 20 minutes a day. I continue this now, but like you, weather permitting. It is good to cleanse your space if at all possible, but air it out too. Btw, she dusted daily...I don't have the time for such frou frous...but if the window is coming open every day...I think the dusting increases too.

[@KirbyEnthusiast]

My dad used to do the same thing when I lived at home . Wasn’t fun when it was snowing and I was still in bed lol

[@roberthart9886]

20 years ago I bought a SIlGen colloidal silver generator. I have bottles around the house of ~ 10% CS + pure water, which I spray on sheets, mattress pads, door handles, counter tops, cell phone screen...

[@carmencarmenatti]

I purchased a new foam mattress a year ago and the first thing I did was buy it a cover,zipper and all☺
