Spray the stained or yellowed areas lightly—don’t soak the mattress, just dampen the surface. Let the mixture sit for 10–15 minutes, then gently blot or scrub with a clean cloth or sponge.
You’ll notice the stains starting to lift and fade. Hydrogen peroxide is a natural whitener and disinfectant, while baking soda deodorizes.
🕓 Step 4: Let It Dry Completely
After scrubbing, sprinkle baking soda generously over the surface of the mattress and let it sit for a few hours or overnight. This helps absorb any leftover moisture and odor.
Then, vacuum the baking soda off completely.
🔁 Step 5: Repeat If Necessary
For tough or older stains, you might need to repeat the process a couple of times. Consistency is key—and trust us, the results are worth it.
