Welcome to Week 34 of the Weekly Home Check

Let’s show the bedroom some extra love! It’s time to rotate and vacuum the mattress and give your pillows a good clean—it’s been six months!

But first, check out this week's sponsor, which helps keep these reminders free.

🛏️ Rotate & Vacuum the Mattress

A good night's sleep starts with a well-maintained mattress. Rotating your mattress not only guarantees even wear but also contributes to a better night's sleep. Vacuuming removes dust, allergens, and debris that accumulate over time.

• Rotate/Flip: Depending on the mattress, either rotate 180 degrees or completely flip over to promote even wear on both sides.
• Vacuum: Use the upholstery attachment on your vacuum cleaner to thoroughly vacuum the entire surface of the mattress.
• Spot Clean: Use 3% hydrogen peroxide to spray on any stains and then gently rub with a damp microfiber cloth. For any tough stains, follow with a spot cleaner with water only.
• Deodorize: For any lingering smells, use an odor eliminator spray then flush with your spot cleaner.
• Dry Completely: Before making the bed, allow the mattress to dry completely. I'd suggest doing this task first thing in the morning.
• Pro Tip: Invest in a mattress cover. This will help protect your mattress and make cleaning it much easier.

😴 Clean the Pillows

Pillows play a significant role in our sleep quality, so let's give them some attention too.

• Check Care Labels: Different pillow types require different care methods. Check the care labels for any specific instructions.
• Machine Washable: Most synthetic pillows are machine washable. Use the bulk cycle with free & clear detergent, and add an extra rinse cycle to remove all soap.
• Down and Feather Pillows: These should be professionally laundered or spot cleaned, as excessive water can damage them.
• Memory Foam: Spray a microfiber towel, not the pillow, with a mixture of dish soap and water, then dab any stains. Wipe with a clean damp microfiber. Avoid getting these pillows too wet.
• Drying: Ensure your pillows are completely dry before using them again. Use low or no heat and add dryer balls to fluff.
• Pro Tip: Get some pillow protectors. These will protect the pillows and help reduce any allergies.
