Disinfecting a New Mattress

RE: Disinfecting a New Mattress By Colleen (Guest Post) I don't know about disinfecting a mattress but we have a vinyl allergy cover on our mattress and one on the box spring. You can not feel it once you put the mattress pad and sheets on. Because it's air tight, it would keep anything that is on the mattress from getting on you and it also improves the life of the mattress, preventing it from getting full of dust.

And maybe those people who lay on the bed are fully clothed, but you don't know where "those clothes" have been and I'm sure they don't take off their shoes when they try them out and think where their feet have been and what they may have walked on! Picky? Maybe, but I wouldn't want to sleep with anyone elses germs! Maybe I would steam clean it first then use Lysol! Good luck!

I use it to clean mirrors, counter tops, floors, etc. and also spray it in the air and on fabrics as a "freshener". When I change the sheets & mattress pads on my beds I spray the mattress with the vinegar. The vinegar scent disappears quickly and the mattress is dry long before I need to remake the bed. Vinegar is a natural deodorizer and cleanser and is very inexpensive in the gallon jug.

I'd spray the mattress with alcohol. I use the alcohol on the telephone, light switches, door knobs, cabinet pulls, etc...even my hands. It is a sanitizer, that's one of the ingredients in fabreeze.

It would be no different than sitting on a theater seat, and you sure don't disenfect that every time you go. The few people sitting or lying on that mattress surely were fully dressed.

I also take it with me if I'm staying in a hotel...it just makes me feel better when I slip under those sheets...and it has a great fresh scent!!!!

It's a safe and effective anti-bacterial. Tea Tree oil would be effective as would lavender. Lavender oil would make the bed smell extra nice, too! Just be sure you use essential oil and not fragrance oil to get the cleansing effect. Posted on 01/24/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse
