**The Smelly Mattress**

Mattress cleaning, due simply to the bulk of what needs to be cleaned, is not an easy task. Yet it is one that must be done occasionally. There is nothing worse than putting your sleepy head into the mattress and be woken up.

Besides the typical use of a mattress, which to everyone who loves to sleep is very important, you still want to keep things healthy.

There are all types of issues with mattresses, from pet accidents, food, and drink spills, dust mites, and more.

So here is what you want to do.

**Strip the bed** 
It makes sense to strip the bed of linens and blankets. If you have a mattress pad, even better. Do this on a weekly basis, at a minimum. Keeping a mattress pad on at all times is smart.

You must also consider the bulk of the material and do your cleaning accordingly. Sad to say, this may not be possible to do yourself, without much effort. One thing you can do is take the mattress outside and, on a nice day, allow the air to help refresh your mattress.

**Use peroxide**

A natural disinfectant that not only makes things healthier but that removes stains, peroxide is a great solution. It adds oxygen to the surface and removes not only stains but also odors.
 **Baking soda**

Some say and claim that baking soda is a solution. The benefit of baking soda is it absorbs odors, much like what you experience with putting an open box of baking soda in your refrigerator.

**Enzymes**

Enzymes are great options that can help with stubborn stains, such as blood, urine, and more. They attack substances and remove not only spots and stains but also odors.

When in doubt, do the right thing. Call your [professional cleaning company](https://bluegrasscleaning.com/wp-content/uploads/wp-mfa-exports/page/home.md). After all, it pays to call a pro!
