If the dog threw up on your bed last night or your husband spilled a plate of squid on the bed you are going to end up with a stinky mattress.Cleaning the mattress to remove the smell is the best way to preserve it.
Step 1: It's a good idea to spot clean and treat the mattress.
Make sure you have removed any offending items before you go in.Use a clean, damp cloth to pick up messes.Rub the area to make sure the debris is removed.
Step 2: The spray bottle should be filled with alcohol.
Take 1/3 of the way with the alcohol.Cheap vodka works as well as the expensive stuff, so don't worry about the quality.
Step 3: The essential oil can be added to the vodka.
If you like the way the essential oil smells, you can combine it.
Step 4: Shake the spray bottle lid off.
If the lid is not tightly fastened you are going to get a bath.
Step 5: You can spray offending areas of your mattress.
Without soaking the area, spray liberally.
Step 6: Allow the area to be completely dry.
Don't make the bed or add sheets until the vodka is completely dried.If you are dealing with stubborn odors, you may need to make more than one pass with the bottle.
