How to clean mattress stains and deodorise

Your mattress is the unsung hero of your home—catching all the sweat, spills, and Sunday morning coffee mishaps. The bad news? You can’t just toss it in the wash. The good news? With the right products, you can spot-clean, deodorise, and keep it fresh without the drama.

 

What you need

✔ Universal Cleaner with Atomiser (for stains + deodorising)
✔ Laundry Liquid (for wet vac cleaning)
✔ Wet vac or carpet shampoo machine
✔ General Cloth

Step-by-step guide

Step 1
Strip the bed and vacuum the mattress surface to remove dust and debris.

Step 2
Spot-treat stains with Universal Cleaner—spray lightly, let sit 5 mins, then blot with your General Cloth.

Step 3
For a deeper refresh, add Laundry Liquid to your wet vac and slowly clean across the mattress.

Step 4
Allow the mattress to dry fully before remaking the bed.

Step 5
For quick in-between freshen ups, a light mist of Universal Cleaner works wonders as a deodoriser.

 

Pro tip

Rotate your mattress every 3–6 months to reduce uneven wear.

A waterproof mattress protector is the best defence against spills and smells.

Sunshine is nature’s disinfectant—air your mattress outside when possible.

 

Safety first: Avoid over-wetting—excess moisture can lead to mould. Always dry thoroughly.

 

Other notes

Mattresses typically last 7–10 years. If stains, odours, or sagging persist, it’s time for an upgrade.
