The seemingly inconspicuous mattress is actually a "prosperous land" for bacteria. The unclean mattress is covered with mites. Since the mattress is so dirty, how to clean it? The mattress is different from its bedding and cannot be washed in the washing machine. Therefore, Many people don't know how to clean the mattress! Step 1 ▼ First, use a vacuum cleaner to clean the upper and lower surfaces of the mattress, so that the dust, dead skin and other dirt on it can be cleaned; Attention! , Pay more attention to the gaps of the grooves, many dirty things are hidden inside.
