Over time, they silently accumulate dust, body oils, sweat, mould spores, allergens, and unpleasant odours — especially in humid environments. If you’ve noticed your mattress looking dingy, smelling musty, or triggering allergies, it’s time for a deep, natural refresh.
The good news? You don’t need expensive cleaners or professional services. With a few simple household ingredients, you can eliminate dirt, destroy mould, and neutralize odours, leaving your mattress cleaner, fresher, and healthier.
