Summer Sleep Troubles? Clean Up Your Mattress Naturally
Posted on
It’s the middle of summer, and if you're tossing and turning at night, you're not alone. Between the heat, humidity, and long daylight hours, getting a good night's sleep can be tough. But one overlooked culprit in sleep disruption is what you're sleeping on—your mattress.
Why Summer Can Make Mattresses Gross
In the hot summer months, our bodies sweat more while we sleep. Add to that the pollen, dust, skin cells, and even pet dander that accumulates in our bedding, and you've got a perfect environment for dust mites, bacteria, and even bed bugs to thrive. These unseen irritants can trigger allergies, skin irritation, or just make your bed feel less fresh.
A Gentle, Powerful Solution
Instead of harsh chemical cleaners, you can naturally deep-clean your mattress using Kleen Green™, a non-toxic enzyme cleaner that breaks down organic matter without leaving any chemical residue behind. It's safe for people, pets, and even those with sensitivities.
How to Clean Your Mattress with Kleen Green:
-
Strip the Bed
Remove all sheets, mattress protectors, and pillowcases. Toss them in the wash using hot water. -
Vacuum the Mattress
Use your vacuum’s upholstery attachment to remove loose debris, dust, and pet hair from the surface. -
Spray Kleen Green
Lightly mist your mattress with diluted Kleen Green (follow label directions). Focus on areas that are most used—head and foot of the bed, center, and any stained spots. -
Let It Work
Let Kleen Green sit for at least 15–20 minutes to allow the enzymes to break down the organic buildup. -
Air It Out
If possible, place the mattress near an open window or in a well-ventilated room to help it dry completely. -
Repeat for Pillows
Don’t forget your pillows—especially foam or memory foam types. These can also be sprayed and aired out to remove allergens and bacteria.
Pro Tip: Keep It Fresh All Summer
For an extra layer of protection, mist your mattress lightly every couple of weeks, or whenever you change your sheets. Use Kleen Green on your bed frame, headboard, and even curtains for a total bedroom refresh.
Sleep Cleaner, Sleep Better
A clean sleeping space can make a big difference in your overall comfort, especially when summer heat already makes rest harder to come by. With Kleen Green, you can breathe easier, itch less, and enjoy cooler, healthier sleep—naturally.
