I've just got a new mattress and the first thing i got was a bamboo waterproof matress protector. I got one from a company called Panda. I promise you nothing goes through it, it doesn't make a crinkly noise, it's fairly easy to wash, is supposed to keep you cool and has really protected my new mattress. They are pretty expensive, (mine is a euro king size and cost £40) but you'll save your mattress from stains and spills. Worth it.
@@angiehaddington6462 thsts great Angie, I have had mattress protectors, pillow protectors and doona protectors for many years, my adult kids have them as well. My mattress is 14 years old and like new. It is a must. Debra xxx
It looks a lot better! Still, I really really hope that the new roommate gets a fully encasing zip up mattress protector since it was in a moldy room, even with the surface cleaned it's not safe to breath so close to (when sleeping) since the gunk/mold is inside it too!
Top tip- if you have an upholstery cleaner like that Bissel one (I have the same one, bought it when my cat had an accident after moving and being too scared to go to her litter tray), then every few months just give your mattress and sofa a once over. Keeps them regularly clean instead of having to do backbreaking deep cleans on them, and it preserves the life span of them by avoiding stains and such!
Not sure about the UK, but in Germany you can rent these upholstery cleaners for a day, or just a few hours, for maybe 20 Euros (100 Euro as a deposit, you get it back after returning it, obviously) at a hardware store. Done so several times already, and it makes *all* the difference. The ones at stores are usually bigger (with wheels), and can be used both for carpets as well as upholstery. Done carpets with it, and sofas. Absolutely awesome.
First of all, you did an amazing job and it's incredible how much gross stuff you're willing to deal with, lol. Second, even though you did an incredibly thorough surface clean of that mattress, the stuff that gets deep inside is always going to be there. I strongly recommend, for the health of your new flatmate and to protect the mattress from further damage, to get a fully encased mattress cover. There are several available on Amazon. Looking forward to your next video!
Yes!! Those mattrass covers are really cheap and easy to find online. I got one that fully covers the matrass and closes with a zipper. And another terry fitted sheet that I use underneath my regular sheets. I throw them in the wash about 2-3 times a year to keep it fresh. It extended the life of my old mattress a few years!
I couldn't agree more. They should ideally get a new mattress, the old one is contaminated, then put a protector around it. In my country of residence, we even try to put the mattress outside without a protector a few days per year, when their is no rainfall, either in sub-zero temperatures and/or in the bright sunshine, to air them out and reduce the microbiome that inevitably likes to live in your mattress. The cold and/or UV light kill off a lot of it.
When selling bedding to my customers I always tell them make sure you have a mattress and pillow protectors and like the previous comment place another sheet over that then the sheet you will be sleeping on. It may feel like it's a lot but it makes a huge difference. Bea you're a star thank you for every thing that you do 😊
I honestly would've got a new mattress, despite how painful and expensive it is. I don't believe you can truly clean a mattress after that much filth. Also, if you get a new one, ALWAYS put on a zip up sleeve and even a waterproof mattress protector. They don't cost much and they will keep the mattress nice and clean.
I used to live in UK back when I was 15. Our flatmate moved out after a massive fight and I stood up to the challenge of cleaning his room. It was sooo smelly and dirty! I don't think anyone had deep cleaned before. It took me around a week just to clean one room top to bottom. It was the most satisfying experience seeing the room so fresh, but the rest of the house looked quite dirty in comparison. If I ever move back to england, I'm deep cleaning on day one, because those houses change inhabitants often and we humans do tend to leave some nasty stuff behind. I've experienced it where I live now, but UK was on a different level.
I commented on your most recent short but just trying to reach out as a letting agent in the UK, have you contacted TPO about this? They should be able to give you some great advice and potentially help you take action against the landlord- things such as not providing smoke and carbon alarms are against the law you really need to be better protected as a tenant! x
Good on ya, for all the hard work. I hope you will get legal help for your issues with the slumlord. I’m shocked at the trouble you’re dealing with but I know your hard work will pay forward in the best way.
In Australia, we have tenants unions where you can get free legal advice. I was threatened, bullied and almost scammed at my last house, but with the help of the tenant's union lawyer, and by always keeping a paper/email trail, I showed I had been lied to by the agents and that the owners had tried to scam me to stage their house for sale, something not discussed at lease time.Agents will make you feel like a second hand citizen but you are doing your best. I hope it all works out with your new flat mate. You did brilliantly on that mattress but like others have suggested, an encased cover is the way to go. Good luck.
I know you’re probably super busy but I would love like a video on how and where we can use you’re cleaning “weaapons”. Like I got the Pink Stuff paste to clean and remove the rust and stuff off my shower head cus the water where I live is very very high on minerals, no rust resistant steal or appliances can survive here 😅😅😅
Yeah, that roommate is actually a bad person for just moving out so short notice, not cleaning up after herself at all and leaving her stuff in that state. It's unbelievably inconsiderate, rude, shameless and honestly exploitative to literally dump that on her roommate (Bea) to clean up after her. The only way that would be acceptable is if they discussed it in advance and she (Bea) volunteered that she's fine with cleaning up after her AND is being paid to take care of it, which she deserves but clearly isn't receiving.
I think its fake all of it. No one would leave a mouldy cup like that full of their stuff. If the apartment is that bad why would you make it worse. Im suspicious
I just found your channel because one of your shorts popped up on RUclips and I absolutely love your commentary. You are so funny and so entertaining to watch and of course it's nice to get tips on cleaning as well. But yes you do have such a fun personality to watch. Don't ever change
It's great that you have a new flatmate! And your cleaning skills still amaze me, have you considered going for a cleaning company, like. Opening your own?
You’re doing an amazing job, the only thing that annoys me is that your dead beat landlord will eventually benefit from all of the hard work and money you have spent! 😡
Honey, black mold can get into mattresses, this is potentially life threatening, I would hate for you to get into trouble because you rented out a room ( furnished room at that ) that has these issues
You are so gracious towards your ex roommate even though she really fucked you up. The fact that she told you she's leaving a day???? before doing so????
What was the technique to use with the handheld shampooer? Also, I am hoping you get a huge payout and your landlord serves jail time and has all of his properties investigated. #justiceforbea
Can someone tell me her story? I kind of dont buy what ive heard so far, i have a feeling this is part of trying to gain followers on a cleaning channel
Put a mattress protector on the mattress and pillow protectors.
I second that!!!! Mattress covers are crucial

I use mite-proof mattress, pillow and blanket covers underneath the regular sheets, because I have a dust (mite) allergy. Works really well too.
@@hannahg.8572 never heard of mite protection. Wow!

Also, UK is very musty and humid, all that rain and not enough sunshine which doesn't help at all.
I'm so happy it has worked out so far, and you have a new roommate!🎉

@@LAdreaming19 Always possible, of course! But I do know people this happened to, so it's within the realm of possibility.

Great job and I'm so glad you got a flatmate!
Congratulations on getting a flat mate!! Yaaaaay🩷
You are a blessing to your new roommate.

So happy for you! 🎉
New flatmate yaay!
You can unzip the cover and put it in washing machine
What products did you put on the mattress to clean it?
Crushed it!
Happy you got a roommate :).
Great job!
Totally inspiring
I wouldn't want that mattress 🤮. Id just get a new one.
Totes
I'm proud of you
Great Job
Double the mattress protector
You’re doing an amazing job, the only thing that annoys me is that your dead beat landlord will eventually benefit from all of the hard work and money you have spent! 😡
And will increase the rent massively on the back of all her back breaking work
Honey, black mold can get into mattresses, this is potentially life threatening, I would hate for you to get into trouble because you rented out a room ( furnished room at that ) that has these issues
very random but i have the same tweezers
Legendary

What was the technique to use with the handheld shampooer?
Also, I am hoping you get a huge payout and your landlord serves jail time and has all of his properties investigated. #justiceforbea
Just get a quality mattress protector. 🤢
Mmh, usually you can take those off and put them in the washer. 🤔
Please come to my home and clean
Can someone tell me her story? I kind of dont buy what ive heard so far, i have a feeling this is part of trying to gain followers on a cleaning channel
you ended in the filthiest apartment in this world
This whole new flatmate story is SO FAKE😅
