Preparing
your New Mattress: Natural cotton often retains a scent you may
prefer to air out before using. Simply place your mattress and box
spring in direct sunlight for a few hours - in a clean, dry
environment. Nature will do the rest.
Caring
for your organic mattress:
- Vacuum and air your mattress and box spring regularly to help
its natural fibers breathe.
- Protect the integrity of your bedding by always using a
mattress pad.
- Encourage even wear by turning your mattress regularly. Every
two weeks for the first two months, alternate turning your mattress
end to end and flipping it. Then turn it every 4-6 months. For
safety, always have 2 people turn the mattress. Do not use
mattress handles to lift the mattress, as they will detach. Use
handles only to guide the mattress into place.
Refreshing
the appearance of your organic mattress:
An easy, natural way to revive the beauty of your mattress is spot
cleaning with a solution of 1:3 parts white distilled vinegar and
water. Spray the solution on the spot, then expose it to direct
sunlight until the stain fades and any scent of the vinegar disappears.
Make sure the mattress is entirely dcry before returning it to use.
If you prefer to use a non-toxic spot cleaner, follow the
manufacturer's directions and make sure the cleaner dries completely
before you use your mattress.
Simple
steps to care for your organic mattress and bedding will keep its
promise to you of bringing many years of luxurious, healthful rest for
body and spirit.
