Here are Tipnut's Quick Tips for Mattress Care:

1. Use a mattress cover to protect the mattress and wash at least once a month.

2. Remove stains by lightly dabbing with liquid dish detergent that has been well diluted in water. For tough stains like blood spots, try blotting with hydrogen peroxide.  (If you've got bedwetting stains, check out this guide to cleaning bedwetting stains from mattress also on Tipnut.)

3. When stripping the beds down for laundry, freshen up the mattress by sprinkling a thin layer of baking soda directly on top of the mattress. Leave sit for a few hours then vacuum the powder up.


4. Air out the mattress by letting the sun in, open up the curtains and bedroom windows when the bed is stripped down.
 
5. Turn the mattress over every few months to help prevent permanent wear spots (flip top to bottom and side to side).
 
 
 
This is the best tip, by far, I've ever read on Tipnut.  It keeps your bedding sets organized together and saves space in your linen closet!!
 
Fold sheet, matching top sheet and 1 pillow case as you normally do. Then slide each into the 2nd pillow case to store. Stack these in your linen closet. When you change bedding, simply pull out the pillow case pack and the entire set is together. 
 
No more digging around your closet looking for matching bedding items, plus the sets stay well pressed rather than getting wrinkled and bunched up in your closet from being tossed around everytime you’re looking for a match!!
