DIY Tips to Keep Your Mattress Fresh and Clean All Year

Let’s face it: nobody dreams well on a dusty, musty mattress 😵💫. Over time, sweat, crumbs, allergens, and other uninvited guests build up - and your once cloud-like Joey might start feeling less than fresh.

But don’t worry, gais. We’ve got some super easy DIY tips to keep your Joey Mattress clean, cozy, and smelling like good life decisions, all year round. 💁

1. Use a Mattress Protector

A high quality, breathable mattress protector is basically the bodyguard for your mattress.

Spills? Sweat? Dust mites trying to start a party? Blocked. 👋

Plus, it’s washable—so your mattress stays squeaky clean with way less effort.

2. Wash Your Bedsheets Regularly

Bedsheets collect a lot of stuff. Think sweat, dead skin, dust, and whatever else you dragged in from the day. Wash them weekly in hot water (if your fabric’s cool with it) to send those germs packing. 🧽🔥 And yes, pillowcases and blankets, too. Don't let them off the hook.

3. Vacuum Your Mattress Monthly

Use a vacuum cleaner with an upholstery attachment to remove dust, dirt, and allergens from the mattress surface. Focus on seams and crevices where debris tends to accumulate.

4. Spot Clean Stains Immediately

Spilled teh ais? Noooo 😭 But don't panic! Mix mild detergent with warm water and gently blot (don’t scrub) the stain with a cloth. For tougher stains, a mixture of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide can help lift discoloration.

5. Deodorize with Baking Soda

Not just for cookies! Sprinkle baking soda generously on your mattress, wait for 30 mins to an hour, and vacuum it up. Poof! Odours, gone. ✨

It’s the low-effort refresh you didn’t know you needed.

6. Rotate Your Mattress

Rotating your mattress every 3-6 months helps distribute wear and extends its lifespan. Joey Mattresses are designed for no flipping, but rotating them 180 degrees can help maintain even support.

7. Let Your Mattress Breathe

Whenever possible, strip your bed and let your mattress air out for a few hours. If the weather permits, open windows to allow fresh air and sunlight to help kill bacteria and reduce moisture. ☀️

8. Keep Humidity in Check

Malaysia’s humidity is no joke. Too much moisture = mold and dust mites. Not fun. Use a dehumidifier to keep your bedroom—and your mattress—fresh and dry. 🍃🌧️

9. Maybe... Don’t Makan in Bed

Look, we’re not here to kill your vibe. But if you must snack in bed, use a tray and clean up right after. Crumbs attract pests. Pests don’t belong in your safe sleep sanctuary. 🍿🚫

10. Invest in Deep Cleaning Once a Year

Even with regular maintenance, deep cleaning is beneficial. You can use a steam cleaner at home or hire a professional mattress cleaning service to remove deeply embedded dirt and allergens. 💥🧽

Final Thoughts

Keeping your Joey Mattress clean doesn’t have to be a hassle. With a few simple habits (and maybe a vacuum that doesn’t live in the storeroom forever), your sleep setup can stay just as dreamy as the day you got it. Try these methods and see the difference!
