Top Tips for Keeping Your Tempur-Pedic Mattress Clean
A durable, comfortable mattress can help you get a good night’s sleep seven days a week. Dirt, dust, debris, dander and sweat can take a serious toll on your mattress over time though. Before long, your big investment in a Tempur-Pedic mattress can start looking dingy and a little worn.
While there’s no magic bullet for keeping your Tempur-Pedic mattress clean, there are some tips that can help you. Keep reading to learn a few tips you can use to tackle dirt, dust, debris, pet dander, sweat and spills in minutes.
Invest in a Quality Mattress Protector
You’ve probably heard that prevention is better than cure, and when it comes to your Tempur-Pedic mattress, this old adage definitely rings true. But how you can keep your mattress free from harm? High-quality mattress protectors are essential.
Designed to fit perfectly with your specific mattress, Tempur-Pedic mattress protectors can be washed at home with little effort. They’re also made of a material that won’t change the way your Tempur-Pedic mattress conforms to your body.
How do you wash your mattress protector? A cold water wash cycle should be followed by allowing your mattress protector to hang dry. If you’re in a rush to get to bed, an air-only cycle can help speed up drying time, but make sure you avoid heat and problematic products like bleach and stain removers.
Break Out the Vacuum Attachments
Vacuuming your mattress can help keep pet hair, crumbs and all sorts of debris at bay. Hoisting your oversized vacuum up onto the mattress and trying to push it like you do on a rug isn’t exactly the most effective technique though.
That’s what those vacuum attachments are for! Break out the hand tools and get any bits of debris or pet dander off your mattress when you remove the protector for washing.
Tackle Spills Immediately
Hot coffee, red wine and your bed don’t mix. Unfortunately though, spills can happen around your mattress one way or another. When you have a spill, following a particular process can help get your Tempur-Pedic mattress clean again:
Remove the mattress protector. Wash it immediately. Allow it to air dry whenever possible.
Check your mattress for stains. Your mattress protector may have kept your mattress dry if you noticed the spill quickly.
Use towels to soak up any liquid on your mattress. Don’t add water to the mixture.
Use a fan to help your mattress dry faster.
Got a spill you didn’t notice right away? Maybe a stain that just won’t come out? Consider calling in professional cleaners that deal with upholstery, carpet and mattresses. They’ll have the right tools and solvents to help reduce the visibility of any stain without damaging your mattress.
Sleep in peace without spills, stains, dust and dander ruining your experience. Use these tips to help keep your Tempur-Pedic mattress clean as part of your regular routine.
