How to Clean a Bed in 3 Steps | Haus Maids Petersfield
Do you find cleaning your bedroom a chore? You’re not alone. Not many people want to spend their free time doing household chores. But with a tidy room comes a tidy mind, so maintaining a clean and organised sleep space is essential. However, most people overlook bed cleaning in their routine.
It takes more than changing the sheets to keep your bed in great shape. Below, our Petersfield home cleaning experts have broken down the process into three simple steps to show you how to clean a bed like a pro…
Step 1: Strip your bed
We know we said learning how to clean a bed is about more than changing your sheets. Still, it is the first step in any bed-cleaning routine!
Remove linens and any mattress toppers or protectors from the bed. Then, wash them according to the instructions on the label. You may also be able to wash your pillows, duvets and mattress toppers at home, but make sure you check product care guidelines before you do.
For the freshest results, leave your linens to dry outside if the weather permits it. If not, we recommend ironing your bed clothes to get the crispest and most luxurious result.
Step 2: Clean your mattress
This is probably the most difficult part of the bed-cleaning process. Start by using the brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner to remove dust, hair and other debris from your mattress. Then, sprinkle its surface with baking soda and leave it to sit for a while before vacuuming it again. This will help remove surface stains and odours.
If marks remain, spot-treat them with a suitable cleaning solution. Repeat these steps on the other side of your mattress, then leave it standing in a well-ventilated area to dry completely.
Step 3: Dust your bed frame
You can’t learn how to clean a bed without knowing how to clean your bed frame! It’s easy: vacuum the entire frame, including the headboard if you have one. Then, use an appropriate cleaning method for your bed frame to remove any surface marks, scuffs or stains.
After you’ve done this, it’s a good idea to run the vacuum cleaner along the floors beneath your bed before replacing the mattress. We recommend flipping the mattress to the other side each time you do this to help increase its life span. Once you’ve remade your bed with fresh linens, you’re ready to enjoy a comfortable night of sleep!
