Kids and Mattresses

by janet on July 3, 2010

One of the issues I have found in my home is how to keep mattresses looking and smelling new when you have three children under the age of 8. We have 4 mattresses in our home and it never fails that when we get a new mattress we won’t have it a month and someone will get sick or have an accident and the whole thing is ruined.

I have tried so many different types of mattress covers and I can’t find one that actually protects the mattress except the plastic ones and those are horrible to try to sleep on. The last one I purchased was over $100 and it was nice and comfy to sleep on but the first time someone spilled or had an accident and there was a stain on the mattress underneath. I wish I could find one that worked like they say they will.

Now I am stuck trying to find a way to clean mattresses. The most effective thing is steam cleaning but I am so afraid that it might lead to mold or something similar if I use it on a mattress. I vacuum my mattresses once a week when I wash and clean the sheets and I often spray them down with fabric freshener. I wonder though if there is a product out there that can be used on mattresses to get stains and such out. Can carpet cleaner or upholstery cleaner be used? What are some of the ways you guys keep your mattresses looking and smelling clean and fresh? I’m getting desperate so I would love to hear any advice you guys have.
