Brilio.net - A mattress is one of the most important pieces of furniture in the house. The reason is, mattresses are used for sleeping and resting after a day of activities. Because it is used almost every day, the mattress also needs to be cleaned regularly to avoid dust or mites.
However, because they are busy, many people don't have time to clean the mattress area. Finally, the mattress becomes dirty and full of dust. This dirt can come from dust, sweat, and spilled food and drinks. If left dirty for a long time, the dirt will eventually turn yellow .
To clean it, some people choose to brush the stains on the mattress with detergent and then hang it in the sun until it is completely dry. However, this method is less efficient because it takes quite a lot of time and energy.
But don't worry, there are still other tricks you can do to remove yellow stains from the mattress. As done by Instagram user @mamiemanda. In one of his uploads, he admitted that he did not dry the mattress and only relied on simple ingredients to remove stains. Among these simple ingredients, there are 2 ingredients that come from the kitchen.

Reported by BrilioFood from Instagram @mamiemanda on Monday (1/4), the material used is hydrogen peroxide. Meanwhile, the kitchen ingredients in question are baking soda and dishwashing soap.
First, prepare a container. Then pour 1 tablespoon of baking soda into the container. Also add 2 tablespoons of hydrogen peroxide and 2 tablespoons of dish soap. If so, stir the three ingredients until evenly mixed.
"If you leave this cleanser for a long time, it will foam. The longer it lasts, the more foam there will be. So it's best to use it immediately after making it and not to store it," he said.

When it's mixed well, dip your toothbrush into the cleaning fluid. Then rub it on the part of the mattress that is covered in yellow stains. If so, clean the remaining foam from the cleaning fluid with a clean rag.

"Scrub it with a clean cloth 3 times to reduce the remaining cleaner that sticks to the mattress," he added.
After wiping it clean, the appearance of the mattress returns to being white and clean. Then air the mattress until it is completely dry. If so, the mattress is ready to be fitted with sheets and used again.
At the end of the video, the Instagram user said that the cleaning mixture he made could also be used to clean other household furniture .
"This can also be used for sofas and carpets," he concluded.
