The recent sweltering temperatures have been causing many, especially those whose homes have no air-conditioners, suffer an uncomfortable and restless sleep. Well, I am one of them! :-)

Does summer/hot weather remind you of something else besides beaches and bikinis? Yes, it’s time to flip the mattress of yours!

Of course, there is some cleaning to do before you flip it over.

If there are sweat stains and dust mites, vacuum first. Vacuum the mattress, particularly between piping and crevices, to remove dead skin cells that attract dust mites.

Next, mix a mild detergent with water until suds form. Apply the dry suds only to the stained areas using a sponge. Wipe the areas with a sponge that has had warm water wrung from it.

Then, allow the areas to dry thoroughly. You can use a fan blowing across the mattress surface to ensure that the damp areas dry quickly or drag the mattress out and dry it in the hot scorching sun.
