Instagram hack: Revive your mattress with a simple iron trick

The mattress is the true king of the bedroom and a breeding ground for numerous contaminants. Dirt, dust, sweat, dead skin cells, and bodily fluids accumulate on its surface daily and penetrate the sheets.

Over time, unsightly stains appear on the white surface of the mattress. How can you get rid of them? There are several different methods, but the Instagram hack provides instant results.

The mattress requires regular cleaning. Experts recommend doing this at least once every six months. Due to its size and the material's absorbency, cleaning a mattress isn't the most straightforward task. After washing, you should wait several hours for it to dry completely.

How do you clean a mattress? The best solution is steam cleaning, but not everyone can afford a device. However, one equally effective, quick, and cheap method is popular on Instagram. A user posting as ogrilow showed how to clean a mattress in just a few moments.

How to do it: Start by preparing a homemade mattress cleaning solution. Take a large bowl and pour in a package of baking soda, a measure of laundry detergent, fabric softener, and 60 millilitres of water.

Mix everything thoroughly, then dip a clean towel into the resulting paste. Wring out the excess liquid and wrap it around the iron. Please turn on the device and apply it to the mattress. After a while, you'll see that the stains are disappearing, thanks to the combination of the "magic" paste and steam.

This is just one way to clean a mattress. Use baking soda if you don't have much time and want to freshen up the material. Sprinkle it generously over the entire surface. Leave it for 1-3 hours, and then vacuum the mattress. Baking soda will eliminate unpleasant odours and visibly whiten the mattress cover.
