You wash your sheets regularly (we hope!) - but when was the last time you gave your mattress, pillows, and other bedding the same level of love? These often-forgotten items can trap sweat, dead skin cells, dust mites, and bacteria over time, which means a weekly sheet swap just doesn't cut it.
With a little help from Nellie's Oxygen Brightener, refreshing your entire sleep setup is easier - and more important - than you might think. Here's your ultimate guide to deep cleaning and freshening up the coziest corner of your home.
Why You Should Be Cleaning Your Mattress & Bedding
We spend nearly a third of our lives in bed, which means our mattresses and pillows act like sponges - absorbing sweat, oils, dust, and allergens night after night. Without regular cleaning, they can harbour odours and irritants that affect your sleep (and your health).
Step-by-Step: How to Clean Your Mattress
1. Vacuum Thoroughly
Use the upholstery attachment on your vacuum to remove surface dust, hair, and dirt. Don't forget to get into seams and crevices.
2. Spot Clean Stains
Mix a solution of warm water and Nellie's Oxygen Brightener, and use a clean cloth to dab stains - especially those caused by sweat or spills. Let sit for 15-30 minutes, then blot with clean water and let air dry completely.
3. Deodorize with a Sprinkle
Lightly sprinkle dry Oxygen Brightener over the mattress and let it sit for 30+ minutes to absorb odours. Vacuum up the powder before making your bed.
How to Wash Pillows (Yes, Even Foam Ones)
For Down or Synthetic Pillows:
- Remove covers and place 2 pillows in the washer to balance the load.
- Use Nellie's Laundry Soda and a scoop of Oxygen Brightener.
- Wash on a gentle cycle with warm water.
- Tumble dry on low with Lamby Wool Dryerballs to fluff and reduce dry time.
For Foam Pillows:
- Spot clean with a damp cloth and diluted Oxygen Brightener solution.
- Never machine wash foam pillows - moisture can break down the material.
- Always air dry completely before use.
How to Deep Clean Comforters, Duvets & Blankets
1. Check the Label First
Always check for washing instructions. Most down and synthetic comforters are machine washable, but wool or specialty fabrics may need professional cleaning.
2. Use a Large Washer
If it doesn't fit comfortably in your machine, consider using a commercial washer at the laundromat.
3. Wash Smart
Use Nellie's Laundry Soda and add Oxygen Brightener to lift stubborn stains and eliminate odours.
Bonus Tip: Wash Bedding Weekly
We recommend washing sheets and pillowcases once a week with Nellie's Laundry Soda for a simple, effective clean that's gentle on your skin and the planet.
