Hosting this holiday season? Help to ensure a healthy environment before and after guests arrive by cleaning the mattress.

Before Guests Arrive

Whether you use the guest room regularly or simply blow up a mattress for extra sleeping arrangements, you can help make the space cleaner and more welcoming with the following tasks:

1. Vacuum the room and mattress. Use an upholstery attachment to remove dust and debris from crevices around the furniture.
2. Spot clean any visible stains on the mattress by dabbing the area and allowing it to dry completely.
3. Deodorize by sprinkling baking soda over the mattress to absorb moisture and odors. Let it sit for several hours or even overnight before vacuuming it up.
4. Wash all sheets, pillowcases, and blankets in hot water.
5. Make the bed with fresh linens.

Refreshing the room not only cleans the space, but it also helps to make it more cozy for your company.

After Guests Leave

Once your hosting duties are over, it’s time to reclaim your clean space.

1. Strip the bed, removing all sheets, blankets, and comforter for the wash.
2. Wash all used bedding in hot water to kill any germs and remove stains or sweat.
3. Inspect the mattress for any new stains and spot-clean as needed.
4. Remove trash, dust, vacuum, and wipe down surfaces to refresh the guest room.

If the room doubles as an office or storage space, you can quickly get it back into working order. If the room is solely for guest use, it’s still important to clean the space to remove dirt, germs, and address possible stains.
