Part 2- Spring Clean Your Mattress
Spring cleaning mattresses is a simple process for me. I start by removing all the bedding, including bed skirts and mattress covers… and putting it all into the wash.
Next I lift the mattress and box springs off the bed and thoroughly vacuum and dust. I also love to wipe down the wall and floorboards behind the bed.
What you need
1. Baking soda
2. Lavender essential oil.
3. Vacuum
How to clean?
1. Lay the mattress back into place and make my own special concoction. Take one cup of Baking soda and add 4 drops of Lavender essential oil.
2. Using kitchen strainers sprinkle the baking soda mixture all over the mattress and let it sit for 1-2 hour.
3. Using the hose end of your vacuum and an upholstery attachment, thoroughly vacuum the mattress. Bye, bye dust mites and other nasty things. The baking soda helps draw up any moisture and deep dirtiness. It deodorizes and leaves the mattress smelling fresh and clean. You will also love the faint scent of lavender left by the essential oil.
Lavender is also an anti-bacterial agent. If you want to clean your kitchen you can use water dispersible lavender about 1 tsp. in about 1 litre of water. Works wonders and calms the house down.
If you do not like Lavender smell you can use Lime Essential Oils as well…citrus is a fresh, clean scent any time of the year.
