I sprinkled baking soda all over the mattress and left it sit for two hours. This removes any odours that may be hanging around. Now I left it for two hours because at this point I sauntered off out to buy a few bits of shopping for a dinner I was cooking the next day but if you’re just in the house you have to leave the baking soda on for at least 30mins.
But honestly, it’s not as hard as I thought it was going to be. To carry out this task, you will need:
Baking soda; and
A vacuum cleaner.
See! Easy so far, right?
On Saturday morning I woke up at 10:45am, stripped the bed and put all the linen straight into the washing machine on a 120° degree hot wash. This was mainly for the allergy protector as I’ve had it on the bed for the last month which is the norm but still, I’m a bit funny about bed linen; it has to be super clean!
To say I slept like a log that night is an understatement. Part exhaustion – part peace of mind!
