How to remove blood and urine stains

But that’s not all, because those with young children will need other tips and remedies to get your grandmother to clean the mattress and leave it as new. For blood stains there are even two solutions, both fantastic.

The first: just prepare a solution with water and two tablespoons of salt. Spray on the stain and leave for half an hour. Once the necessary time has passed, clean it using a soft cloth.

The second: use hydrogen peroxide which serves to lighten the stain. Before proceeding, it is recommended to use hydrogen peroxide on one corner of the mattress because it could discolor it.

Added to this are other problems: sweat in summer, pee of children or animals throughout the year. In these cases, it is recommended to act immediately, while the stain is still wet or damp. Prepare a solution with water and white vinegar, apply it directly to the stain and let it act. Then take a damp sponge and remove everything, the stains should no longer be there.

If they persist, don’t worry, because the sun solves any problem permanently. In the absence of sun, for example in winter, it is enough to use a hair dryer. If the stains do not disappear, use a cotton ball soaked in hydrogen peroxide and then wipe with a damp microfiber cloth.

Also in this case, as in the previous one, test first on a small portion of the mattress.

How to remove drink or food stains

Finally, for food or drink stains, prepare a solution with half a glass of vinegar, add 1/3 of lemon juice and a little water. It is poured directly onto the stain and then rubbed with a damp cloth. Finally it dries.

Grandma’s solutions are the best, they are not bad for your health and still give enviable results.
