The best way to clean a mattress is to use an enzyme-based cleaner. Enzyme cleaners are effective at removing stains, bacteria, and dust mites from the surface of the mattress. You can also choose a conventional pillowcase sprayer if you want to avoid using harsh chemicals. Simply fill the sprayer with water and spritz the washcloth or sponge onto it before applying pressure to work lather onto the bedding. Let the cloth or sponge soak up as much of the solution as possible before rinsing it off in cool water. Dust away!
