This channel always motivates me. I have depression and I see this and it makes me want to change. Thank you
Sending love! 💜
I have ADD and find it helpful to have all the steps outlined for me so I work through them without getting distracted. Usually just getting started with moving leads to more cleaning and moving and I feel better because I’ve accomplished something.
Linguaphilionna Thank you so much. God bless you ❤️
Linda Cleary I’m also so bad to get distracted and not follow through.
Your not alone 💜 Sending love 💕
Mattress cover is necessary and you can easily throw it in the wash.
WAHT if it to big
@@exulqnsis1911 get a better one
It’s called a bedsheet
@@exulqnsis1911 I bought a zippered cover. Pain in the tooshie to put it on but with it. It has saved our new mattress many times. I got mine from Amazon and it was around $70+ but for the cost of a brand new king it was well worth it. The day they brought the mattress the cover went on it. It does make turning the mattress a bit of a pain but saving the mattress from urine (me) or my hubs upset stomach (💩). No one wants to sleep on that!
@@globalcitizenn no
That headboard is making me anxious. So much surface area for dust and things to cling to
Not if you clean it regularly :)
I was thinking the same thing!!
Weirdo
Wtf 😭
Well shiet
I was a girl, I was told to make my bed when I got up. Now I know to leave the sheets and blankets pulled back for a while before I make the bed to air out the bed. I have had my own housekeeping business for over 16 years and I still watch cleaning videos to see if I can get more tips or hints. You can never stop learning!
What are the best or most useful things and techniques you've learned so far?
I love this comment ❤️
Whenever I'm feeling demotivated, but have a lot to do, I go ahead and start watching these videos. It helps, I get inspired to do what I need to do.
Same here
This year I finally got a good vacuum and now air out and vacuum my mattress and pillows each time I change the sheets- what a game changer!!! I live near a busy intersection on a main st with lots of construction near by and sooooo much dust has been coming out. I have been doing this for a few months and I’m def breathing easier and it’s helping my allergies. Still got some good new tips from this video. Love the channel! Xo
Getting my first adult mattress today that I really saved up for, and I’m doing some research on how to be good to it. Good to know I already had some good habits (washing my sheets every 2 weeks, airing out) and excited to try some new ones. Oh, and the baking soda tip was great!!
Get a mattress encasement....we move a lot as a military family and honestly I love knowing it's not funky from a move.
Yes my second bedroom mattress was in storage for years. I was throwing it out. I got to it and vacuumed it 30 min. The attachment had white in it. I lavendar lysoled it until it was damp. Set 2 hrs. I added a nozzle to 70% alcohol and damp it. Let it sit. Vaccum it and added a mattress cover. Good as new. I couldnt believe it.
Exactly
I see people put their sheet right-over the mattress. Oh no! My Mom always impressed on us we place a mattress pad first! Sometimes an encasement then a pad... It helps absorb the sweat we off during the the night!! It doesn’t get washed EVERY time.. but quarterly. THEN goes the fitted sheet. Then the top sheet. My Home Ec Prof. showed us how to make a bed up w/ a person in the bed.& emphasized we should fold our linens to accomplish just that! Make it easier; Length wise!! It make it soo easy to find the center & equalize the drop of the sheet so both persons get enough sheet. I see people billow the top sheet in the air then try to determine the middle. Nope. Perfect every time if you lay the center of the sheet length wise down.. then flip open the sheet. Prestó! It’s perfect!! Also, I think hospital corners are not taught. It makes the bed look sooo nice & neat! I can’t sleep in a messy bed. I recall my niece getting bit by a spider that crawled in bed w/ her. I told her the true story about my friend who had a brown recluse fall off the ceiling onto her back& her rolling onto to it causing it to bite her! It was HORRIBLE! I tried go lance it, but the pain was too intense. I shared the details. My niece makes her bed up EVERY day!! She don’t want surprises EVER!
Other bed story.. my sisters burglar alarm went off while she was out of town... I was watching the house so I went to meet the police and they “cleared” the house ( w/ their weapons drawn. They came Bd k to tell me the house was beautiful.. BUT.. u should check one room.. it “ Looked like it got tossed!” I went in and it was the same nueces room.... I told the Officer.. sorry... that’s not burgled .. it’s just a preteens room!! She’s messy !! You should see her room now! She has the BF over all has to be perfect!! Ha ha!! motivation!!?? 🤣
Thank you for your service
I have watched two of your videos- smells in the house and this one. I think you do an excellent job speaking and presenting. Your information is well received and very well presented. Thank you!!
As a person with allergies this is routine for me lmao, the only thing I haven't tried is the baking powder one because I don't have the vacuum for it. Another tip, treat our pillows the same way. I bought a protective case at Walmart, and when I wash everything on my bed (every two weeks, but I change my pillowcase every 4 nights to avoid acne and allergies), I let it breathe and vacuum it too. Besides I don't lay down or allow others to touch my bed if they haven't showered, even less if they went outside and carry pollution, dust, and who knows what with them. My bed is sacred and I'm very picky when it comes to it.
I wish I could set that level of boundaries and control. All I can do is hope my sheets are clean and nobody touched my bed
I love my purple mattress protector because of the elastic it has. It stays on the mattress until I take it off to wash it. Plus it stays cool all year round. Plus it’s stretchy to allow me to enjoy my mattress to the fullest. Love it. I even bought 2 to switch them out when one is being washed. 🥰
When I was in college I never thought twice about a mattress protector. I never thought I needed one. Then I learned why I do, and now I use one all the time. Never again will I go back.
Or you could get a waterproof, dustproof mattress protector and not worry about this at all. My mom got me one when I was a student and she was worried about potential bed bugs. I can't imagine having a naked mattress now.
Exactly
Damn its like you didnt see the end where she says get a matress protector.
It's still good to clean your matress, I have 2 layers of protection on my bed, waterproof and quilted, and I still deodorize and let my matress air out at least once a month, whether I open all my windows or put the dehumidifier on in my room for a couple of hours. Don't just rely on covers, it still needs refreshing.
That's what I have. It's not crunchy either. It is bamboo and charcoal. But looks and feels like cloth.
Well yes, but those protectors dont let our bodies breathe, i find it very uncomfortable :(
I have read somewhere (maybe saw on your channel since been very helpful) and practice when I put baking soda I do put drops of essential oil and leave it for about 30 min. I do this every 6-8 weeks. Then vacuum and leave it for some time during the day without sheets to breath a bit. Feels fresh and very clean. Thank you for your advices. ❤️
I just found her videos and firstly, they are great! secondly, she is so charismatic that I enjoy watching these videos so much (and realise I might have a small OCD when it comes to cleaning) I subscribe and have been on a rabbit hole watching older videos. Thanks for making these videos.
Good timing... my new mattress is being delivered in 8 days. Good lord they are 💵💵💵💵. Thanks for the useful tips to help keep it fresh!
poida Way ahead of you. Not my first mattress...
I always air my mattress when I change my sheets I don’t remake my bed until that evening as my mattress had all day to air
Same here
Just wanted you to know how happy I am with my Maker's large kit. The quality is fantastic.
We love hearing this - thank you Nancy!!
Thank you so much I’ve never thought to clean my mattress that was until I was finally washing my sheets and I took a look at my mattress it was absolutely disgusting you really help with everything!! You motivate me and has changed me for the best thank you so much:)💗
I'm 5 months into living on my own and to be honest I still have no hecking idea wut I'm doing and had been derailed a little bit. This channel is a luxury that I just found, I'll try my best to get back on track and learn all I can!!
I have always used a mattress protector .that was what I was taught .I thought everyone did ...what an eye opener..
Whenever I change my bed sheets, I also usually (every time I make my bed too) throw my pillows with clean cases into the dryer for about 5-10 minutes to "sanitize and fluff" them. I throw in a air freshener sheet to deodorize them from dander and/or head sweat. It feels refreshing to sleep on.
We got a new mattress and I just vacuumed it last week. My husband thought I was nuts! Maybe I should show him this video!
You must definitely show him 😁👋👋👋
That's so cute.
I never thought before about who's been sleeping on the mattress!! Thanks Melissa that's gonna be in my brain now 🤣
Another super helpful video, thanks!
My Maker's Clean Cloths are coming today in the mail (yay!) and I'm wondering if it's safe to use castile soap with them (in place of laundry detergent when washing them, as well as in the general purpose spray from your recipe, which I would use a microfiber cloth with)? Thanks again!!
I am so grateful with how helpful and informative your video is! Thank you for the list and links of products and keep up the great work. :D
for hotel mattresses: I've learned how to do a quick visual check for bed bugs and I do that every time!! of all the issues I could get from a hotel, so far that's the one I feel like I can control if I pay attention.
Also, thanks for the tips!!
I don't worry about the mattress at a hotel as much as the sheets, blankets, and comforter. I went to several different hotels one year and 3 had stains on the sheets and pillowcase. One stain looked like someone ran over the pillowcase with a tractor trailer.
😵🤯!!!
Thanks for the video.... I've been doing all this since I bought my matress. I actually have a plastic water proof barrier I slide onto mine and then I put a quilted matress cover on that. My matress is now 23 years old! It's still in excellent condition and it's because I've always done what you taught in your video.
I have to admit, when I go to a hotel I freak out. I'm such a germaphobe I literally wipe every hard surface down with wipes I bring on my trip. As far as sleeping on the matress, I bring a sleeping sack and my own pillow to lay on the existing sheets. I sleep much better this way. I just don't trust that hotels clean well. When I travel I don't travel light.
When she she drank that water tho, uurghhh🤣
Water? You mean sweat! 😝
ME TOO! I cringed.
Cotton barrier cloth zippered big bag to enclose entire mattress and another one for the box spring. These can prevent dust mites and skin cells from entering the mattress, and you can wash the barrier cloth. On top of the barrier cloth bag, a good thick mattress pad, also washable. Goes a long way to keep things clean. I like you suggestions as well.
My 82 year young Mom has always taken a suite case with spare bedding that included a mattress pad/cover, sheets and comforter when staying at a hotel.
Step 1: Strip the bedding on the hotel room bed, make sure there are no creepy crawlers on the mattress, then remake the bed using her fresh clean bedding.
Step 2: Relax and enjoy your stay while ensuring a nice restful night of sleep 😴 on her own clean fresh smelling bedding!
I've learned all I know from my Beautiful Momma so of course this is my routine when staying at a Hotel.
This channel has changed my views on cleaning. Now it makes me want to clean almost every day!
So many good tips! One of the most informative videos I've watched
@cleanmyspace , I can't find the link for the mattress protectors. Are there any special tips for mattress care for an Incontinence problem?
I bought a new mattress this month and I want to take care of it as best I can. Thanks!!!
Thanks for watching Mariela!
I love your videos I have a memory foam mattress do you suggest the same cleaning method for memory foam mattress? Any suggestions? Thanks
It depends on the hotel and the general cleanliness. But I just try to put it out of my mind, and never walk on the carpet with bare feet.
Just found your channel.... loving this video. I will be checking out the rest of your videos.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I am going to try the baking soda.
Thanks for all the wonderful information!
This is especially important for teenagers! And especially those unfortunate teens with extra stanky body odour. I know one. They have 4 layers of protection on their bed under the sheet, a waterproof layer, a topper for extra comfort for growing bones, and a quilted layer to absorb that sweat and dead skin. All of them get washed once a week, as well as the 3 layers on their pillows. It really deals with 95% of the stankyness of their bedroom, the rest is taken care of when they take their washing out, the carpets get a refreshing clean, and the dehumidifier goes on for a couple of hours in the winter, or open the windows in the summer. It's also very important to have a strict "no food outside of the kitchen/dining area" rule to greatly prolong the life of ALL your furniture! Food. Ruins. Everything. I only allow water ourside of those areas, and I have a Bissell spot cleaner for extractions or emergency spot cleaning if needed, because accidents WILL AND DO happen. Especially those "teenage accidents" nobody talks about... yep, teenagers are dirty, smelly, messy creatures too sometimes, and sometimes they really can't help it, poor things ❤ keep in mind that they are going through A LOT of changes and they just need time and help learning how to deal with them, and it's hard! ❤
Thank youuuuu!!!😭 I have never cleaned my mattress because I didn't know how, You are a real lifesaver 😔✊
Alright I will try to put some of these to good use, my closet needs some work! Gonna put me on some Foo Fighters and Delta Parole and then I will try my best. Thanks for the inspiring video!
Nice tips, thanks
i have a mattress protector and I wash it once a month. Should i do the things you suggest on my matress when the cover is being washed?
Haven’t watch your vids for so long. I missed this. Great job
Hi Melissa have you tried a Shark vaccum cleaner? It would be great to hear your thoughts and comparison ti a dyson vac. Thanks 🙂
I absolutely think about the history of a hotel mattress. When I was younger, I was a motel housekeeper for one month and it changed my viewpoint for the rest of my life. I never go barefoot in a hotel room and always take disinfectant wipes.
I absolutely love your headboard!!
Do you vacuum both sides if your mattress plus the box springs?
Can we use my normal Dyson vacuum heads for seeping mattress with baking soda
Where did you buy your head board ? I love it.
BTW, great vlog. As for staying at hotels pre-pandemic I checked the bed for bedbugs & never put my luggage on the floor or unpacked into the dressers. Bedbugs don’t care how much the bottom line of the hotel is; they travel where they wish. Btw, if you have 3 red itchy bumps near each other in repeated spots that’s a sign of bedbugs; it’s their breakfast, lunch, & dinner. Eww but true.
Love your advice!!! I'm getting a protector!!!❤❤❤
I love your headboard. Very good tips 💕
Hey I just found your channel and I love it. I was hoping you could do a video about cleaning electronic appliances especially AirPods.
A mattress cover that you can wash monthly helps to keep things cleaner. Also we make our bed by pulling back our sheets and covers neatly. This allows the bed to breath every day.
Some mattresses come with a removable cover- be careful when taking that cover off as some mattresses are made cheaply with fiberglass. It should be illegal but b/c there's a cover there, companies can skirt the law. So check your mattress to see before you go all out.
I love your headboard. Where did you get it?
How long do you leave baking soda on before vacuuming? Thanks
Thanks for this information.
Does this apply to the new thick, synthetic-foam mattresses? The ones that ship tiny; then expand to a normal size? I've just invested in these for my home. 3 mattresses.
Those are more work they mold easily make sure you’re airing it out often
Quick question I have a form mattress I need to know how to clean it.
Spent 10 years in the hotel industry so when my family travels the first thing you do in your hotel room is remove the bedspread & blanket! Call housekeeping and have complete sheet sets delivered to the room and double sheet over everything! And NEVER leave your toothbrush out in a hotel 🥴
You must’ve seen some shit in your time..
My mother use to work in the hotel industry, she gave me the same advice.
why toothbrush? please explain
@@lajksuskrajbser5137 they use it to scrub the toilet bowl
So brining your own blankets and covering them bed with them doesn’t work 😭😭😭
Omg I was thinking that headboard is sooo freaking cute!! And then you mentioned dusting and it got a lot less cute realizing I’d have to dust every single little cut out often bc my dog is a shedder!
I've never thought about a hotel mattress before. But now I will. Thanks a lot.
What a coincidence that this popped up today when I just took my sheets off to wash! I was pretty happy when I watched this cuz I always let my mattress breathe and I already have a mattress protector...but I can't say that I've ever vacuumed it. Time to bust out the vac!
What a well timed video :)
Great Video , I vacuum my mattress every wknd when I change the Sheets.
Then dry clean once a year. 👍👍
I would love to know what bed you have? It looks like a cloud.
Please provide details of the Shop Vac you are using and the attachment. It would be cool if you did a video on this as well. Thanks bunches‼️
When's the last time you cleaned your mattress?
Clean My Space like a year ago
I dont remember 😣
I have had a zip in mattress protector on it since day 1. But regularly clean the surrounding area as well as sheets... I didn’t see your links for the mattress protectors you like,which ones do you like? @cleanmyspace
😶😔
15 years
I have a dust mite allergy cover on my mattress. The envelope type that zippers the entire mattress inside. Do I still need to do this to my mattress? With the mattress cover or without it? How often should I wash the cover?
I always think about those hotel mattresses every time I'm at a hotel, & imagine they must be pretty nasty thinking of everything that could go on on those public mattresses & wonder if I should strip the mattress off, but I've never been able to do it! I think it's better not to see it for my own sake 😫
As a kid, we got mattresses from a hotel sale - LaQuinta. They had stickers on every edge, both sides marked with dates for rotation, and were only used for a year. I'd be freaked out to buy one now, but it was a great mattress.
Elissa Powell , I’m kinda glad to hear that the hotels actually change those mattresses every year. I really hope they continue with this practice for sanitary purposes
Yes for the protector! I wasn't going to get one for my 6 year old then 4 year old and his mattress looks brand new! I wish I would have got one when we got our bed! That mattress cover has been through a lot! 😂 especially in the almost 3 years we have had it!
I have a memory foam mattress. Would love to see a video on these! I have a waterproof mattress protector but aside from laundering bedding I can't really do much to the mattress itself.
And if you have a waterproof mattress protector what need do you have to care about cleaning the mattress? None!
How do you keep it from molding ? I have a memory foam mattress that has mold 😭😭 I’m praying my warranty isn’t voided
@@Nikki3b0oxX If it's moldy you can't sleep on it! Mold in a home is no joke, regardless of type. It's hard to get rid of on flat surfaces, let alone porous ones. For the health of you and your family, please get rid of it! They need to be well ventilated. With ours, I don't even really make the bed that often to keep air flowing and it is on a slat style frame, not a box spring. Check with your manufacturer on what they cover, or how to remedy it, if possible. I have a Zinus green tea mattress from Amazon, it's awesome and cheaper than other brands out there. The reviews speak for themselves!
@@alainapotaduh I think I just bought one of those last night! Thanks for the confirmation that it was a good idea.
Great tip💕💕💕thank you 😘
What was the second type of vacuum used to remove the baking soda?
thanks for useful tips for mattress cleaning
This video was fantastic!
Thank you 😊
Hi Melissa, can you tell me how to clean painted surfaces? I have a 1920s home with many surfaces such as built-ins and moldings that have so many layers of paint, sometimes cleaners get sticky feeling on them.
I have two memory foam mattress toppers on mine and a fitted mattress protector on mine, so all I really need to do is clean the foam every couple months and the fitted protector with my sheets!
Which shop vac do you use? Thanks in advance
This was the very first time someone on RUclips told me to subscribe and I immediately subscribed.
I never considered just how filthy my mattress might be (as I never clean it but wash bed sheets) and how much it could be affecting me biologically... I wake up every morning with a clogged nose and I never considered this to be a solution.
helpfull and good video.
What do you think about sprinkling baby powder on the mattress. I have been doing it for years. Would you say that is a good choice or a bad one and why? Love your videos. I learn so much. Thank you.
How often do you recommend to wash mattress covers?
Where did you buy your bed? Searching for a picture of it.
Thanks Melissa❤
I would like to know how to clean a down mattress topper, besides dry cleaning.
Thanks for this information!. How about how to clean a vacuum cleaner? I am on my way to doing that now. I have my ways but interested in how you would do it. Thanks again for your video!
She made a video about how to clean cleaningtools, including vacuums. Just search RUclips, it was realy helpfull.
Ok,Thanks, I thought I might have seen that and overlooked it at the time. I'll look again🙂
Hi Melissa what kind of mattress do you have... it looks comfortable.
If you have a mattress protector do you need to remove that with the sheets to let it breath?
I am in the mattress protector camp. I have 3 sets of everything. Because I often forget to turn the washer on after tossing sheets in 🤭
This just reminded me that I forgot to turn on the dryer 😂😂
Hotel mattresses give me the willys. You got love juices and other stuff. If I have to stay out of town, no matter how stars the hotel has I bring a sleeping bag and put myself in it and sleep that way. I need a barrier 🤢 ***yes I'm that girl*** I blame my mom 🤣😂
Yeah, love juices. If your motel room carpet has crunchy spots, (not to mention the mattress,) you're in trouble. . . .eech.....!
I'm *that girl* too.
I actually take extra sheets and mattress covers with me.....I'm that girl 🙃
anye76 "LOVE JUICES" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
Melissa, could you please write down what sortnog vacuum I should use for vacuuming the bakina soda? I am not from an english speaking country and not sure I understood what you said. Thank you so much🙏🏼
Good question
That headboard is very nice! Where did you get it from?
How often should you clean the mattress protector?
I absolutely love that paint color on the walls can you please share the name of the color thank you
I have been experiencing a stained mattress due to moisture of the room maybe its because of the site of the apartment and upon checking there are molds under my mattress. I have this mattress for years and cleaned it religiously but since i moved here it had molds less than 4mos 😅 i hate hate the smell and the stain i will try this trick thank u
Is there an alternative for vacuum? I don't have a vacuum.
