While you&#8217;re working on your mattress, toss your bedding in the wash, and fluff duvets or feather beds in the dryer.<\/p>\n<p>Open the box of baking soda and add 10 to 20 drops of your favorite essential oil. Close the box and give it a good shake to distribute the essential oil and break up any large clumps.<\/p>\n<p>Lavender, chamomile, sandalwood, and ylang ylang are all soothing scents that would be wonderfully calming. And, essential oils are naturally antibacterial.<\/p>\n<p>Sprinkle the baking soda over the bed, using the entire box. Now it&#8217;s time for a mattress massage!<\/p>\n<p>Rub the baking soda mixture into the bed, which really gives your mattress a deep cleaning. Let the baking soda and essential oil work its magic for at least an hour.<\/p>\n<p>While you&#8217;re waiting, wipe down the walls around your bed and the bed frame, creating a nice and clean sleeping area. After an hour, vacuum the mattress, working slowly to ensure all the baking soda has been removed.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"media-element file-media-original\" title=\"Photo credit: POPSUGAR\" src=\"http:\/\/magazine.foxnews.com\/sites\/magazine.foxnews.com\/files\/cleanmattress2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" data-pin-description=\"It's Time: How to Deep-Clean Your Mattress for a Better Night's Sleep\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Along with freshening your bed, the mixture helps lift dirt and residue while wicking away moisture.<\/p>\n<p>And giving your mattress a good vacuuming sucks away any lurking dust mites, which makes everyone sleep easier.<\/p>\n<p>Make the bed, and now you&#8217;re ready for some serious slumber.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source:\u00a0magazine.foxnews.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A deep-cleaning wouldn&#8217;t be complete without giving your mattress some serious attention.
