How Do You Care for an Organic Latex Mattress Topper? 🧹🧽

Mattress toppers offer an extra cushion of comfort and luxury to your bed. However, it is important to clean your mattress topper for your topper's health, as well as yours. Since organic mattress toppers are made with natural latex, it may require a special care routine. In our blog, we'll walk you through a step-by-step process on cleaning your organic latex mattress topper from unwanted spots and odors.

Light-Duty Cleaning

Caring for your organic mattress topper is important to maintain your sleeping and mattress topper's health. It is important to clean your mattress topper every 2-3 months to prevent any dust from resting on topper long-term.

Vacuum
Handheld vacuums are helpful to get rid of any particles, such as dirt and dust. To use this, brush the vacuum across your mattress topper and remove the particles. 

Cleaning Up Minor Stains
If you have any small stains, it may be annoying to clean out with water and soap. However, you can make it easier by creating a solution of mild detergent and water to eliminate those pesky stains. Soak up a small amount of the solution onto a clean cloth and blot gently on the affected areas.

Removing Odors
If you noticed any strange smell on your mattress topper, it may be time to clean it. To remove those scents, evenly lay out some baking soda on your mattress topper and allow it to rest for 6-8 hours. This allows the baking soda to rest and to neutralize those odors. Once the baking soda has finished resting, vacuum up the rest of the baking soda.

Heavy-Duty Cleaning

If there was a major accident or spill, you may have to take some extra steps to clean your mattress topper. Depending on how long it takes for your organic mattress topper to get dirty, a heavy-duty cleaning session should be at least every 6 months.

Vacuum
For the first step, you can follow the light-duty cleaning vacuum instructions. It is important to use a handheld vacuums to get rid of unwanted particles. To use this, brush the vacuum across your organic mattress topper and remove the particles. 

Cleaning Up Major Accidents 
To create a solution for bigger accidents on your organic mattress topper, mix  white distilled vinegar and water together, and put it in a spray bottle. After that, use the spray bottle and target the affected areas. If there is moisture left when you finish, make sure you dry it off with a clean cloth to prevent any mold or mildew from growing.

Deodorize
Similar to light-duty cleaning, use a generous amount of baking soda and cover the top of your mattress pad. Since vinegar has a strong smell, it is essential to use baking soda to get rid of it. Leave it to rest for 6-8 hours before vacuuming it up again. 

Keeping Your Topper Dry

Make sure your organic mattress topper is dry before you continue to use it. If you continue to use a damp mattress topper, mildew and mold may grow, which will harm your mattress topper's durability and your health. To ensure your topper is completely dried, let it air dry and use a fan to speed up the drying process.
