Mattress
Spring reminds us to flip or rotate our mattress but we probably don’t think about cleaning the mattress—it’s always covered with sheets so it must be dust-proof, right? According to Napelbaum, they harbor dead cells and dust, which can irritate our sleep.
If that makes your skin crawl, make sure you know how to prevent and destroy bed bugs. ‘Make sure to give it a good vacuum with an upholstery attachment and give it a good whack whilst it is propped upwards against the wall.
To remove odors, lie the mattress back down and sprinkle with baking soda. Leave the baking soda on for two hours before vacuuming it off,’ says Napelbaum.
