Here are a few of her tips:

  1. It is best to vacuum every time you rotate your mattress, or once a season. The key: “use a clean upholstery attachment” since the vacuum has, well, a dirty job.
  2.  Deodorize the mattress by sifting baking soda over it, let it sit for 30 minutes and then vacuum it up with the clean upholstery attachment.
  3. If you need to tackle stains, the main three are protein, grease and tannin, with protein being the ones you see on the mattress.
