And freshen up your mattress with baking soda, too
With any luck, by the time you reach adulthood, you’re washing your pillows and pillowcases on a semi-regular basis. However, most of us—even in our 30s and 40s—don’t do much in the way of cleaning our mattresses.
But there’s an easy way to limit the bacterial contamination and allergy-provoking dust on your bed. At least once a month, just vacuum your mattress and apply an ample sprinkling of baking soda to it.
Let the baking soda sit for a few hours to absorb any odors, vacuum again, and voila! A cleaner, less gross place to sleep.
