Cleaning Memory Foam

Cleaning memory foam can be an arduous process if you’re not familiar with how to do it.

In order to clean memory foam mattress topper you need a few supplies:

-A hand vacuum with an attachment that’s a soft brush (or a regular vacuum with the same attachment)

-Fabric cleaner (preferably Woolite)

-Water

-A plastic spray bottle

-White vinegar (distilled)

-Fan or hair dryer

-Tarp (unless you’re doing the cleaning outside-also if you are doing the cleaning outside you’ll need a water hose with a spray attachment)


Steps To Cleaning Memory Foam Mattress:

1. Using the soft brush attachment on your vaccum cleaner vacuum the foam completely front and back.

2. Place the memory foam on a clean surface (on the tarp if you are inside and if you are outside maybe on your porch or on a clean spot in the driveway).

3. Mix two parts water and one part Woolite in your spray bottle. Shake well before spraying.

4. Have someone help you with this step—stand the foam on its end and spray the entire front and then the entire back with the Water/Woolite solution. If you have two people you can have one person hold the foam and the other person spray it.

5. Allow the clean memory foam solution to sit on the foam for at least thirty minutes.

6. Once the solution has sat on the foam for thirty minutes take the hose and spray the solution off.

7. This step in cleaning memory foam requires you to be very gentle with the foam so be careful here—fold the foam over and press or squeeze it to get the excess water out. Whatever you do make sure you absolutely do not wring the foam or twist the foam. If you do you will damage it beyond repair.

8. Empty the Woolite/Water solution out of the bottle and refill the bottle with four parts water and one part vinegar.

10. Again with the hose rinse the memory foam out and then fold and squeeze or press the excess water out. Remember that you should NOT twist or wring the excess water out.

11. Now you can use a fan or a hair dryer to aid the foam in drying out. Be careful with the hair dryer and do not get it too close to the foam or you will damage it.

12. Before replacing it on your bed make sure it is completely dry.
