Put approximately
1 cup of baking soda into a small mason jar and add 4 to 5 drops of Lavender
essential oil (you can, of course, use your favorite scent) and give it a good
shake! This was enough to do half my king-sized bed. I just quickly shook up
another batch for the other side.
Before you start
it’s a good idea to strip off all your bedding and wash it in HOT water (at
least 130 degrees)! This will kill the dust mites in your sheets and blankets.
While your bedding is in the washing machine, pour enough baking soda through a
sifter or strainer to lightly dust your mattress with it. Leave on for an hour
or more, allowing it time to draw out dirt, moisture, and odor.
Using the hose end
of your vacuum and an upholstery attachment, thoroughly vacuum the mattress.
Vacuum slowly so that you’re using the vacuum suction efficiently to pull out
as much debris from within the mattress as possible.
The baking soda
not only draws out moisture and dirt, but it also deodorizes and leaves the
mattress smelling fresh and clean. The Lavender oil helps calm stress and
anxiety and promotes sleep….plus it just SMELLS wonderful!
