Give Your Mattress a Quick Refresh with Baking Soda

Hey guys. Sundays are the perfect time to do a reset for the week. This includes, a good refresh on your bed/mattress. Though we wash our sheets every Sunday, I like to do this bed refresh at least once a month.

We all know that our beds are where we spend a good portion of our lives, so it’s only natural that it’s going to accumulate a good amount of  debris from skin, hair, nails, dust, sweat, etc…

Of course we can’t just throw our mattress in the wash like sheets but there is a way you can provide your bed with a deep clean with one simple household tool. Baking soda! Using baking soda on your mattress is a great way to kill bacteria and rid it of dust mites.

•  I start off by vacuuming the mattress to get rid of any hair, skin, etc…
• Sprinkle the mattress with about 1 cup of baking soda and massage it in. My son has never wet the bed but if you do have a little that does, baking soda works wonders at cleaning and eliminating the smell of urine.
• Next add the lavender essential oil, which you could also just add to the baking soda if you’re concerned about staining your mattress.
• Let the mixture sit for an hour, then vacuum the mattress again. When putting clean sheets back on, I put them on still a bit damp from the dryer and allow them to air dry on the bed. This will make your sheets feel softer and it also help to absorb the scent of the essential oil, making your bed smell amazing.

I promise you, the first few days after a bed refresh are the absolute best sleep I have hands down. Click the link to see the full video of me doing this refresh, on Instagram
