To sleep well, it is essential to have a good mattress in your bedroom—an irreplaceable companion for fulfilling rest and maximum comfort. However, it's not enough for it to be comfortable and suit your preferences: it should also be kept always clean and sanitized to ensure those proverbial sweet dreams and avoid potential harm to your health and that of your loved ones. Let's find out how to clean your mattress in the healthiest and most correct way by following Ariete's advice. With the right tools, we can prevent our bed from turning into a breeding ground for dust mites, germs, and mold that can cause annoying allergies.

How to clean your mattress: Ariete's solutions for deep cleaning

When we find ourselves wondering how to clean the mattress we sleep on, it's almost natural to immediately think of some industrial product or chemical detergent that can help us with the task. In reality, there are infallible natural remedies that we can use for the seasonal cleaning of our bed, also leveraging the technology developed by Ariete's experience. The first thing to know is that a mattress should be cleaned and sanitized at least twice a year, in winter and summer, precisely with the change of season. Generally, it should also be replaced with a new one at least every 10 years, to avoid resting on overly worn—and consequently uncomfortable—springs. 

Before proceeding with the actual cleaning, we must remove all the bedding and expose the mattress to the sun, at least if the climate allows it. Once this is done, we can easily eliminate crumbs, dust, dirt residue, and any pet hair with minimal effort using a multifunction cordless vacuum cleaner like Ariete's 22V Lithium, available in different motor and color variants. Cordless and with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, it transforms quickly into a practical and manageable handheld vacuum cleaner to effectively suck up even the finest debris, while simultaneously releasing filtered, cleaner air. This cordless electric broom is also equipped with a useful set of accessories, which includes a specific one for refreshing fabrics and a crevice nozzle to reach the most hidden corners of the mattress.

Removing stains and odors: clean your mattress with baking soda

Among the most popular solutions for cleaning a mattress, **baking soda** is certainly effective for sleep free from bad odors, dust mites, and bacteria. Just sprinkle two handfuls over the entire surface of your mattress and let it sit for about ten minutes. After this, we must repeat the operation on the other side, after flipping it over. Once the indicated resting time has passed, we can use an Ariete vacuum cleaner to remove the excess baking soda and any remaining dust. The use of baking soda will have thus helped us eliminate any mold and absorb moisture present inside the mattress.

How to sanitize your mattress with steam power 

For a deeper, more complete cleaning, and simultaneously a thorough sanitization, steam plays the leading role. Now that we know how to best clean the mattress without using products that are too aggressive for us and the environment, we can once again rely on the Ariete "stable." Particularly on Vaporì Jet, which provides hot steam in three minutes from a 250 cc aluminum boiler, with an operating autonomy of 15 minutes. The 100° steam effectively eliminates 99.9% of germs and bacteria in a completely natural way, without the need to use chemical detergents in addition to simple tap water. 

Those seeking the perfect result and maximum hygiene for their bed can complete the cleaning phase with the innovative Sani-Jet, the first sanitizing nebulizer on the market specifically for cleaning surfaces and environments. And it is absolutely suitable for fabrics, just like those typically used for mattresses. Using the Sani-Jet sanitizer is very simple: it is sufficient to dissolve a sachet of the Sani-Jet Clean sanitizing solution, supplied with the product, in tap water.

Sani-Jet Clean, once dissolved in water, generates 0.1% active chlorine, ensuring perfect sanitization of our mattress. At this point, it is possible to nebulize the solution directly onto the surface, aiming the appropriate nozzle and choosing the intensity of the jet. The active solution is stored directly inside the Sani-Jet tank for about 7 days, and in the meantime, it can be used to sanitize all areas of the house, from the bedroom to the bathroom.
