How to Bleach a Stained Mattress
Mattresses are difficult to clean because of their size and the nature of the material. Finding effective ways to clean stains and spills requires some effort. Bleach in mild forms, such as hydrogen peroxide, can be an effective option for getting rid of certain stains.
Things You Will Need
- Rubber gloves
- Towels
Once you know how to use it correctly and safely, bleach is another weapon in your arsenal for dealing with mattress stains.
-
Put on rubber gloves to protect your skin from the bleach.
-
Wet a small portion of a towel with the bleach and dab it on the stain. Work from the outside of the stain to the inside to prevent the stain from spreading.
-
Repeat the process until the stain is removed.
-
Use a dry towel to remove as much of the bleach as possible.
Warning
Even mild bleach, such as hydrogen peroxide, can bleach your mattress. You should test it on a hidden part of the mattress before using.
