Both are gentler but effective alternatives. However, lemon and salt ought to be tested on a hidden patch first, as they can discolour some materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember to go easy on the scrubbing and moisture if you\u2019re dealing with latex or memory foam to protect the underlying structure.

It\u2019ll block spills and sweat without turning your bed into a sauna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also pays to rotate or flip the mattress every 3\u20136 months to avoid lopsided wear and stop that same area from absorbing all your nighttime sweat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When something spills despite your careful efforts, don&#8217;t just stare at it in horror. Dab it up right away before it sets in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A quick vacuum every now and then will also whisk away dust and allergens before they cause discolouration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last but not least, try to enjoy your midnight feasts in your kitchen.
