Next time less water you only need 1 cup water, 2 tlbs of baking soda and about 2 cups of peroxide and I recommend getting the strongest sold near you. Start outside the stain and work your way inward. I blow dry with my hair drier in between and depending on if it's pre do 2 treatments. If it's blood do 3 or 4 treatments. Put lemon juice in for white mattresses and leave lemon juice out if it's a colored mattress! You're welcome ladies 🤗❤
You by far is the most adorable mattress cleaning lady I've seen. I'm glad you got your mattresses super clean. Will try and follow your recipe. Thanks!
I think it's great to clean and reuse a mattress. Think of how many people sleep in hotel beds! Clean it, pop a mattress protector on it and you're done. Those mattresses would end up in the skip otherwise so saves the planet and money. Good for you!
6Years later and this is still insanelyy helpful! Wherever you are, I hope you're having a wonderful day! Ps. It's frustrating to keep forgetting the words you wanna use in both languages you speak😅 but it grants you a very unique vocab I think! From a fellow bilingual ❤
This was exactly what I was looking for when I googled "how to clean a mattress"! Thank you so much for sharing. Wanted to refresh our 6 year old mattress that's still pretty good. 😍
Thank you so much for the video. I invited a family with two kids, and they wet my daughter's barely-used bed several times during their stay. I noticed this after they left, and super upset. I thought I had to throw the bed away. I will go buy a peroxide tomorrow and do the cleaning. Thanks again!
That's so unfortunate that they left you with a stained mattress! How did the cleaning go? I forgot to reply earlier because I was actually cleaning two mattresses myself! It's funny you messaged me when you did :) I have learned to put waterproof covers on all cleaned mattresses to protect my work. I don't trust even myself not to spill something on them 😂
Thank you! And you are absolutely right. I would suggest using some kind of gloves to help protect the hands. I did not think about it. Thank you for noticing.
nan304 I was thinking the same thing. I was actually talking to the video saying my goodness girl wear gloves. Your touching someone dried bodily fluids 🤮.
OMG! THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS! I tried this, and it works like a charm! I'm SERIOUSLY IMPRESSED with this solution to stains. I even made a video of my own, that I will upload to my channel and will be giving you credit in my description! You saved my matress, and I can't Thank You enough!
@@ElianeBalegamire worked great for mine, however, my "stains" were not very bad, and were not urine stains. I still use this method if I find a spot while changing linens.
@@Angieslifeandmorereloaded i will check tomorrow and compare, may be the way I appplied it. And for the dishwasher, does it have to be specific? My stains are "coffee that i tried to clean up last yr with bicarbonate of soda so many times🤦🏽♀️😅" ... instead i made things worse. Now it looks like urine, and i have to cover with a mattress protector. Thanks for letting me know that it worked on your side, i see some pple had to apply 2 to 4 times. I will try again.
the grime on the sides are most likely grease based stains - you could increase the amount of dish detergent and it might work those out as well. great job though
Interesting thought. I did not think of stains on the side being grease based. Originally I thought these stains are just particles of dirt embedded in the fabric from mattress being dragged. Next time I'll try adding more detergent to see if it helps. Thank you!
If you live somewhere like me where hydrogen peroxide is hard to get hold of I used plain bleach at half the concentration she used I didnt like using the baking soda it just turned into a wet paste and didnt do a whole lot besides making friction which pilled the soft pillow top. I was also worried about the long term for leaving bleach on fabric so tried to rinse it out after by using water and a cheap wet/dry vaccum. Which I think worked well the mattress didnt smell like chlorine after that. I found it easier to get that second lot of water onto the mattress using my hose through the window on a mist setting instead of using a spray bottle which took forever. The wet vac was very satisfying too, the water and the bleach mix both went on clear but came out again brown. I think that might be good for lifting it out rather than pushing the stain in too. The wet vac cost me $60 nzd (so like, $30 usd?) and I plan to do a deep clean of my car and couch with it too so thats why I thought it was worth it... and dont worry, I know, I do fully expect it to die before I finish all these projects since it was so cheap, its more of a "use it till it does to save time" machine... its not a investment. In the end this method got my mattress that I let my sister borrow from having a big dark yellow stain to mottled white (from bleach not being applied evenly I think) I think it'll need another pass on a different weekend. Giving this feedback to add to the info for people, not to complain, thankyou for making this video it gave me a great starting point.
Great job on cleaning your mattress! I am glad some parts of the video helped you get started. Yes, I agree that baking soda stays behind in powder form if not rinsed out. The easiest way to get it out is just to vacuum it when it dries. But I am glad bleach worked for you! Clearly there are multiple ways of cleaning :) my way is not the only way, as bleach is an excellent disinfectant! Since doing the video, I have bought an upholstery (wet) vacuum to help with stain extraction rather than spreading, so I wholeheartedly support your decision :) I just know that not everyone can pull a hose through their window😂 great job!!
I don’t know if you are still doing videos but I think your personality is wonderful and I think a lot of people can relate to you. I really appreciate this video and will be using this solution tonight on a 6 month old mattress that my English Bulldogs have been using as a bed in the spare bedroom. I’ve been in limbo while waiting for furniture to arrive so just left the mattress on the floor. I didn’t think about how much dirt they can track in on paws and fur. I am ready to complete the room now but the brand new mattress needs to be cleaned because it looks grimy and lite grey instead of bright white.
Thank you for the nice words. I have not been able to get around to making videos. But I have not given up hope yet! Please let me know how the solution works out on your mattress. I hope your new room looks great!
@@YuliyaHardin Your cleaning method worked perfectly! The mattress is as good as new but the room is not quite finished. I had to focus on a few other projects that popped up. I should be able to finish that room in a few weeks? I seem to add more complicated plans to each task lately that slows me down.
@@robinsiciliano9084 That's awesome! I am glad the method worked for you too. Good luck with the rest of the room. I am sure it will come together nicely soon!
Great question! I don't see why not. However, you have to be careful not to oversaturate the carpet with water unless you have a way to remove extra water.
i wouldn't be surprised if you got a mattress cleaning company i would be your first customer with a really f***d up mattress. Don't ask me what i been doing on it, cause i just can't remember
To keep from your arm from falling off just lay your mattress down flat on a firm / hard surface you can use cleaning products baking soda dish detergent small amount or your cleaning Choice USE your steam cleaner that you’d clean 🧽 a carpet with... much faster less work less time less mixing... and usually has heat you’d be able to sleep in your bed that night by the time it dries as long as you do it early in the morning plus the power of the bristles will pull all those nasty dirty stains out happy 🧼
Hm do you know what the stains are from? Certain stains like those from red wine, blood, ink, and dye are hard to remove from fabric. Most common mattress stains are from pee, spilled drinks, blood, sweat, and dirt. All of these can be removed fairly well using the method in this video, except blood. If anything, the cleaning will help lighten all the stains!
Baking soda and baking powder are different chemically, so you lose out on some cleaning power. However, dishwashing liquid and hydrogen peroxide are still great cleaners, so I think you will see the difference!
If you were to hand wash the sheets, then the solution would work. However, if you were to put the sheets in the washing machine, I would leave out dishwashing soap because it may turn your laundry into a foam party room! The hydrogen peroxide can also be replaced by bleach. And lastly, I would recommend adding the sheets only after all ingredients mixed well with water, otherwise some peroxide/bleach will leave extra white spots, which may turn into holes at the next wash. Ask me how I know haha
Yes, you can use bleach instead of hydrogen peroxide. Please dilute it according to instructions on the bottle though, because bleach is much stronger than hydrogen peroxide, ounce for ounce. Hydrogen peroxide comes prediluted to a safe level already, so it can be readily added to our cleaning solution.
@@jefry8393 Great question. Bleach by itself is very toxic, but it's even more dangerous if mixed with ammonia. There is no ammonia in baking soda and most likely not in dish washing soap.
I forgot to ask- what about cleaning bacteria? Baking soda is not suppose to work on that. Is it right to use one day before the formula but instead soda to add vinegar? Or laundry gel(persil/tide) Or to brush with alcohol wipes? Thanks again.
Great question. I would skip hydrogen peroxide on black or colored fabrics to avoid discoloring them. I would probably also skip baking soda. Usually just warm water and soap takes care of most stains safely.
@@benruash1525 also great question. Bacteria should be taken care of by the soap, especially if you use anti bacterial hand soap. Vinegar can bleach fabrics, so I would avoid it on darker fabrics. I would also be careful not to over saturate the sofa and seats, because unlike mattress they have more cushioning and will take too long to dry causing mold. I hope this helps!
@@YuliyaHardin thank you. Soup- detergent? But the way baking I’m gonna use baking soda on the car seat to get rid of the smell or should I use something else?
@@benruash1525 You are welcome to use baking soda on the seats to absorb the smell. I would sprinkle the baking soda on the dry seats and spread around with a brush, let it sit to absorb smell or moisture, and then vacuum the soda off the seats. After that you can use whatever soap you have with water. If you have more food related stains, then dish detergent would work better removing stains from fat. Otherwise, you can use a fabric detergent or regular soap mixed with water. Just please make sure your seats dry fully within 3 days, because mold starts to grow on day 4.
Y’all tripping about these gloves lol you know you can wash your hands right? I mean I understand gloves being preferable but people make to big of a deal about a small thing.
LOL Thank you for not making a big deal out of it. If it was bleach, I would wear gloves. I did not have any reaction on my hands after cleaning mattresses for 3 days in a row, so I think it's safe unless someone has sensitive hands.
Power Level Bomber I hate to tell you but urine and other bodily fluids can get into the tiniest cut in your hands. It’s not like your touching and quickly washing. I’m a nurse and would never touch someone bodily fluids without gloves. By the time she’s finished washing the mattress she already contaminated.
i’m sooooo confused!!!! i found a HUGE yellow stain at the corner of my mattress and i’m not sure how it got there?! also; i noticed my pillow that i keep by my feet and my bed sheets have been getting small yellow stains too! i’m not sure if it’s my cat or what! it smells like grease but i’m not sure how it’s getting there! please help!
Hmm How exactly small and big are these spots? My first two thoughts are either cat pee or some liquid. Cat pee can be tested by using a black light, which would illuminate the spot. However, cat pee smells strong and not of grease. The second guess is liquid, and this can be anything. If it's an older mattress it may absorb even plain water and make it look yellow. Yet again, this would not produce a greasy smell. Did you happen to switch from using lotion to coconut or olive oil maybe? I wish I could help more.
Yuliya Hardin it’s a big spot at the corner of the mattress! i just got it from Ikea so it’s brand new . and then he sheets have small spots too . i thought it was my cat but it doesn’t smell like pee, it smells like grease. i normally don’t put any lotion on so it’s not lotion, i’m just so confused as to what it is ..
@@ivonnemelendez6837 I think without seeing it (and smelling it?), I am out of guesses like you. And that corner is not by a window, which may allow pollen and rain to come in? I would suggest cleaning it and see if it reappears in a different size or location.
Thanks, I had a used bottle of Hydrogen peroxide solution 6% from many years ago and Soda Crystals (for cleaning stains off anything in the house) and as soon as I spayed it, it stank a little like poop and I thought it’s normal and now that I finished it, my room stinks badly. Is that normal?
Good question. I had to look up soda crystals to see if there would be a different reaction. However, the solution you made seems fine. So it makes me think there was something in the mattress that released the smell once dampened. I would suggest washing the mattress again with the same solution, but adding some soap to help battle smells not addressed with the first solution. It may also help airing out mattress in the sun while it's drying (using hair dryer may speed up the process). If the smell improves, then I would wash a couple more times. If the smell does not improve, then I would wash with only water and fragrant soap. I realize it's a lot of washings, but some old stains can be a little tough to lift in one go. Just please make sure the mattress does not stay damp for more than 2-3 days, because mold may start setting in. I hope this helps.
What about the sides and your not suppose to use so much water.Also your supposed to cold dry not heat as can cause mold and bed bugs rtf and also Hoover when finished 😎
I still have all three mattresses a year later and none of them developed any smell or mold. I let the mattresses air dry vertically for a few days before putting bedsheets on them. You could speed up the process by possibly using a hairdryer or placing the mattress in a warm location (sun room or outside). If the mattress has a pillowtop like the first one, it will take longer to dry than the one with a traditional top. Thank you for a good question!
Any sponge would work as long as it is comfortable for you to hold it and swipe! And as long as it does not leave anything behind: the abrasive side of some kitchen sponges can leave little fibers or pieces behind, which may get stuck in the mattress fabric.
You’re so cute and beautiful and funny. And this is the help i was looking for the small minor stains on my new mattress my daughter stain😩 it’s a rooms to go mattress, hybrid material.
No worries, just skip it. It's supposed to lighten stains. So once you wash the mattress put it in the direct sun (in front of sunny window or outside so sun rays hit it). Sun will do the same thing as hydrogen peroxide then.
I tried, but very less effective, but i used detergent very less, i will try to keep in sun light today, but before that can i add white vinegar as well and try?
@@Arhamkhanshark That's an easy one then! Just skip hydrogen peroxide. You may not even need the sun either. Follow the rest of the steps and I think your mattress will look great again!
Hydrogen peroxide is a bleaching (whitening) agent and mild antiseptic. You don't have to use it but it helps a little bit. To replace it, you can add white vinegar (just never mix vinegar and hydrogen peroxide, use one or the other). Don't worry about the vinegar smell - it will evaporate. The amount of vinegar can be 1:1 to water or as little as 1:4 to water (1 part vinegar, 4 parts water).
The measurements were approximate to be honest, but someone else in the comments suggested the following proportions instead : 1 cup water, 2 tlbs of baking soda and 2 cups of peroxide. I used 1 cup water, 1/2 cup peroxide, 1 big table spoon of baking soda, and 1 table spoon of dishwashing liquid. If you see it too bubbly, then reduce dishwashing liquid. If you think you want to bleach the stain more/less, then adjust peroxide by 1/2 cup. I hope this helps!
Haha, yes I did not quite think about gloves. I think I was just too eager to get started!! I would recommend wearing gloves. Thank you for pointing it out.
Forgot about the sheet. It's not waterproof, just an old bedding sheet over hardwood floor. Nothing sipped through amazingly! I think next time I would lay down some plastic tarp that's used for painting rooms (they can be purchased at the hardware store). I hope that helps!
Yes, that's the one. Baking soda can be used for baking and cleaning (it's a mild abrasive). As long as it does not say baking powder, which is mix of baking soda and something else.
Hmm I was trying to figure out why and came up with some questions. What was the original color of your mattress? Could there have been a yellow dye in the cleaning solution (yellow soap) or the mattress stain (tea, marker)? What was in your cleaning solution? As I understand yellowing of fabric over time is normal as body oils and perspiration build up. Perhaps, your first cleaning attempt evenly spread the original stain making some areas appear more yellow than before. If that's the case, cleaning the mattress the second time should do the trick. I hope you can figure it out soon!
Next time less water you only need 1 cup water, 2 tlbs of baking soda and about 2 cups of peroxide and I recommend getting the strongest sold near you. Start outside the stain and work your way inward. I blow dry with my hair drier in between and depending on if it's pre do 2 treatments. If it's blood do 3 or 4 treatments. Put lemon juice in for white mattresses and leave lemon juice out if it's a colored mattress! You're welcome ladies 🤗❤
How much lemon juice do you add?
@@maryjmac26 just a couple table spoons
@@maryjmac26 it really varies if it's a bottle the size of the one she has I would do 2 to 3

Baking soda and baking powder are different chemically, so you lose out on some cleaning power. However, dishwashing liquid and hydrogen peroxide are still great cleaners, so I think you will see the difference!
going into 2022 with wanting to clean my bed 😊 got everything already 😁
worked for me
glad to hear it! great job
thank you ! i had old water marks on my brand new mattress - they vanished !
That's so awesome to hear!! Great job :)
My room isn't big enough for my mattress standing. Can I do it with the mattress laying down.
Can you use tide or gain detergent instead of the dish soap?
I used oxy clean gel which I consider a detergent so, yes!
Halo yuliya! You change my live for ever
Thank you for watching, Samantha! :)
Would this work for washing stained white sheets too?
If you were to hand wash the sheets, then the solution would work. However, if you were to put the sheets in the washing machine, I would leave out dishwashing soap because it may turn your laundry into a foam party room! The hydrogen peroxide can also be replaced by bleach. And lastly, I would recommend adding the sheets only after all ingredients mixed well with water, otherwise some peroxide/bleach will leave extra white spots, which may turn into holes at the next wash. Ask me how I know haha
Can I use chlorox instead of hydrogen peroxide ?
Yes, you can use bleach instead of hydrogen peroxide. Please dilute it according to instructions on the bottle though, because bleach is much stronger than hydrogen peroxide, ounce for ounce. Hydrogen peroxide comes prediluted to a safe level already, so it can be readily added to our cleaning solution.
@@YuliyaHardin I was able to buy "Hydrogen Peroxide 6% w/v, Benzoic acid 0.01% w/v"
Is this OK too
@@jefry8393 Yes, it should be fine. It is stronger than 3%, so just add a little more water.
@@YuliyaHardin is there anything dangerous or harmful if bleach(clorox) is mixed with dishwasher soap and or baking soda ?
@@jefry8393 Great question. Bleach by itself is very toxic, but it's even more dangerous if mixed with ammonia. There is no ammonia in baking soda and most likely not in dish washing soap.
Get an extractor. Much more clean than scrubbing and only getting the surface stain..need to get deep down into the fabric.
Can I try bleach and water with dish detergent?
Yes, but please dilute bleach with water according to instructions on the bleach bottle. It is very powerful and can weaken the threads causing holes.
I believe that a wet/dry shop vacuum would help too.
Thanks for the video. If I want to clean my black(not leather) sofa and my car seats, am I using the same ingredients including hydrogen peroxide?
I forgot to ask- what about cleaning bacteria? Baking soda is not suppose to work on that. Is it right to use one day before the formula but instead soda to add vinegar? Or laundry gel(persil/tide) Or to brush with alcohol wipes? Thanks again.
Great question. I would skip hydrogen peroxide on black or colored fabrics to avoid discoloring them. I would probably also skip baking soda. Usually just warm water and soap takes care of most stains safely.
@@benruash1525 also great question. Bacteria should be taken care of by the soap, especially if you use anti bacterial hand soap. Vinegar can bleach fabrics, so I would avoid it on darker fabrics. I would also be careful not to over saturate the sofa and seats, because unlike mattress they have more cushioning and will take too long to dry causing mold. I hope this helps!
@@YuliyaHardin thank you. Soup- detergent? But the way baking I’m gonna use baking soda on the car seat to get rid of the smell or should I use something else?
@@benruash1525 You are welcome to use baking soda on the seats to absorb the smell. I would sprinkle the baking soda on the dry seats and spread around with a brush, let it sit to absorb smell or moisture, and then vacuum the soda off the seats. After that you can use whatever soap you have with water. If you have more food related stains, then dish detergent would work better removing stains from fat. Otherwise, you can use a fabric detergent or regular soap mixed with water. Just please make sure your seats dry fully within 3 days, because mold starts to grow on day 4.
Y’all tripping about these gloves lol you know you can wash your hands right? I mean I understand gloves being preferable but people make to big of a deal about a small thing.
LOL Thank you for not making a big deal out of it. If it was bleach, I would wear gloves. I did not have any reaction on my hands after cleaning mattresses for 3 days in a row, so I think it's safe unless someone has sensitive hands.
Power Level Bomber I hate to tell you but urine and other bodily fluids can get into the tiniest cut in your hands. It’s not like your touching and quickly washing. I’m a nurse and would never touch someone bodily fluids without gloves. By the time she’s finished washing the mattress she already contaminated.
This method is only cleaning the mattress cover not deep into the mattress where hatever was spilt would have leaked.
Do know a method that cleans the entire mattress?
@@erikab6052 just use any deep cleaning machine for extraction.
That's true Magnalia
You're so adorable!!! 😭❤❤❤❤
LOL you are too cute!!! thank you :)
@@YuliyaHardin ❤❤❤❤❤
how many percent hydrogen peroxide?
The most commonly available one in stores is 3%. It should work.
i’m sooooo confused!!!!
i found a HUGE yellow stain at the corner of my mattress and i’m not sure how it got there?! also; i noticed my pillow that i keep by my feet and my bed sheets have been getting small yellow stains too! i’m not sure if it’s my cat or what! it smells like grease but i’m not sure how it’s getting there! please help!
Hmm How exactly small and big are these spots? My first two thoughts are either cat pee or some liquid. Cat pee can be tested by using a black light, which would illuminate the spot. However, cat pee smells strong and not of grease. The second guess is liquid, and this can be anything. If it's an older mattress it may absorb even plain water and make it look yellow. Yet again, this would not produce a greasy smell. Did you happen to switch from using lotion to coconut or olive oil maybe? I wish I could help more.
Yuliya Hardin it’s a big spot at the corner of the mattress! i just got it from Ikea so it’s brand new . and then he sheets have small spots too . i thought it was my cat but it doesn’t smell like pee, it smells like grease. i normally don’t put any lotion on so it’s not lotion, i’m just so confused as to what it is ..
@@ivonnemelendez6837 I think without seeing it (and smelling it?), I am out of guesses like you. And that corner is not by a window, which may allow pollen and rain to come in? I would suggest cleaning it and see if it reappears in a different size or location.
Thanks, I had a used bottle of Hydrogen peroxide solution 6% from many years ago and Soda Crystals (for cleaning stains off anything in the house) and as soon as I spayed it, it stank a little like poop and I thought it’s normal and now that I finished it, my room stinks badly.
Is that normal?
Good question. I had to look up soda crystals to see if there would be a different reaction. However, the solution you made seems fine. So it makes me think there was something in the mattress that released the smell once dampened. I would suggest washing the mattress again with the same solution, but adding some soap to help battle smells not addressed with the first solution. It may also help airing out mattress in the sun while it's drying (using hair dryer may speed up the process). If the smell improves, then I would wash a couple more times. If the smell does not improve, then I would wash with only water and fragrant soap. I realize it's a lot of washings, but some old stains can be a little tough to lift in one go. Just please make sure the mattress does not stay damp for more than 2-3 days, because mold may start setting in. I hope this helps.
@@YuliyaHardin thanks Yuliya :)
What about the sides and your not suppose to use so much water.Also your supposed to cold dry not heat as can cause mold and bed bugs rtf and also Hoover when finished 😎
I have a bad habit of peeing the bed when I get drunk sometimes, so this seems like a good plan for me. Thanks!
You could wear a diaper
Thanks for watching! You may also think about buying a waterproof mattress cover, which you can just throw in the washing machine.
@@YuliyaHardin You're welcome! That's a great idea :)
@@thequake2009 no problem! Best of luck with your bed wetting :)
Disgusting.
Did This Cause The Mattress To Mold Or Stink.
I still have all three mattresses a year later and none of them developed any smell or mold. I let the mattresses air dry vertically for a few days before putting bedsheets on them. You could speed up the process by possibly using a hairdryer or placing the mattress in a warm location (sun room or outside). If the mattress has a pillowtop like the first one, it will take longer to dry than the one with a traditional top. Thank you for a good question!
Does it matter what sponge you use?
Any sponge would work as long as it is comfortable for you to hold it and swipe! And as long as it does not leave anything behind: the abrasive side of some kitchen sponges can leave little fibers or pieces behind, which may get stuck in the mattress fabric.
I would still steam clean the bed afterwards
I’m hear cause my two year old spilt hit chocolate on my new mattress
You’re so cute and beautiful and funny.
And this is the help i was looking for the small minor stains on my new mattress my daughter stain😩 it’s a rooms to go mattress, hybrid material.
Thank you for such a lovely comment :) Were you able to get that stain out? I wonder how it works on the hybrid material.
I dont have hydrogen peroxide
What if doesnt have Hydrogen peroxide? Cant find it in Here,
No worries, just skip it. It's supposed to lighten stains. So once you wash the mattress put it in the direct sun (in front of sunny window or outside so sun rays hit it). Sun will do the same thing as hydrogen peroxide then.
I tried, but very less effective, but i used detergent very less, i will try to keep in sun light today, but before that can i add white vinegar as well and try?
@@Arhamkhanshark Yes! White distilled vinegar will also help. What kind of stain are you dealing with, do you know?
Its a water stain on ikea mattress spring mattress
@@Arhamkhanshark That's an easy one then! Just skip hydrogen peroxide. You may not even need the sun either. Follow the rest of the steps and I think your mattress will look great again!
You're awesome
Thank you
hey are you still alive? I like your content but will u ever upload again?
I hope you santized the heck out of it cause people can carry germs you know.
Yeah because it's not like literal *acid* would be able to kill germs right? 🤦♀️
So I did this right now and welll my
Room smells
Lol what can I do
If you don't have hydrogen peroxide what else can I replace jink can work?
Hydrogen peroxide is a bleaching (whitening) agent and mild antiseptic. You don't have to use it but it helps a little bit. To replace it, you can add white vinegar (just never mix vinegar and hydrogen peroxide, use one or the other). Don't worry about the vinegar smell - it will evaporate. The amount of vinegar can be 1:1 to water or as little as 1:4 to water (1 part vinegar, 4 parts water).
Can I get the measurement of the mix please? Thanks 🙏
The measurements were approximate to be honest, but someone else in the comments suggested the following proportions instead : 1 cup water, 2 tlbs of baking soda and 2 cups of peroxide. I used 1 cup water, 1/2 cup peroxide, 1 big table spoon of baking soda, and 1 table spoon of dishwashing liquid. If you see it too bubbly, then reduce dishwashing liquid. If you think you want to bleach the stain more/less, then adjust peroxide by 1/2 cup. I hope this helps!
Great job I'm going to try it
I'm impressed by how fucking how you are good job keep it up
I am amazed at how comfortable you are cleaning huge as pee stains of another DNA with no gloves. .and is that sheet water proof . I need one!
Haha, yes I did not quite think about gloves. I think I was just too eager to get started!! I would recommend wearing gloves. Thank you for pointing it out.
Forgot about the sheet. It's not waterproof, just an old bedding sheet over hardwood floor. Nothing sipped through amazingly! I think next time I would lay down some plastic tarp that's used for painting rooms (they can be purchased at the hardware store). I hope that helps!
Why Are You So Rude Like That
She Can Just Wash Her Hands After
I was thinking the same thing. I would have to use gloves
@@AuzzAustin right . Very condescending response indeed

Yours not yours should wear gloves. .
I have um cooking baking soda i think
Yes, that's the one. Baking soda can be used for baking and cleaning (it's a mild abrasive). As long as it does not say baking powder, which is mix of baking soda and something else.
i tried this and it made my mattress more yellow 🥴 anyone have any idea what i did wrong?
Hmm I was trying to figure out why and came up with some questions. What was the original color of your mattress? Could there have been a yellow dye in the cleaning solution (yellow soap) or the mattress stain (tea, marker)? What was in your cleaning solution? As I understand yellowing of fabric over time is normal as body oils and perspiration build up. Perhaps, your first cleaning attempt evenly spread the original stain making some areas appear more yellow than before. If that's the case, cleaning the mattress the second time should do the trick. I hope you can figure it out soon!
