How to Keep Your Mattress Fresh and Dust-Free in Dubai’s Climate

How to Keep Your Mattress Fresh and Dust-Free in Dubai’s Climate

Living in Dubai has its benefits, along with relatively high temperatures, high humidity, dust, and other allergens that flourish in the city, including in your mattress. A clean mattress is a secret to having a good sleep and being healthy in your health or quality of life. Well now, let’s get down to business and focus on some useful homemade tricks to keep your mattress clean from dust between professional deep cleanings.

  1. Buy the best mattress protector you can afford.

A mattress protector that is waterproof and allows the mattress to breathe will help protect the mattress from dust, stains, and allergens.

Why it helps: Avoids the formation of perspiration, shedding skin cells, and dust mites, respectively.

Pro Tip: Clean your protector after two weeks for the best hygiene standards. 

  1. Regular Vacuuming

Cleaning the bed surface with a vacuum removes dust from the surface therefore enhancing longer mattress cleaning.

How to do it: Hand-held vacuum cleaners should be used or any piece of equipment capable of cleaning upholstery. Be mindful of seams and edges as these are places where dust gathers.

Frequency: At least once a month.

  1. Air It Out

Airing your mattress outside is not easily achievable in Dubai due to the climate, but proper circulation will do the trick.

What to do: Open windows and doors to allow the fresh air to pass around your mattress. When you can, expose the mattress to the sunlight for several hours to help get rid of the bacteria.

  1. Baking Soda for Deep Cleaning

Baking soda works as a deodorizer and kills bacteria and germs.

DIY Cleaning Method:

  • Just spill baking soda over the mattress.
  • Then it should be allowed to stand for about half an hour to an hour.
  • This way, clean the surface thoroughly to eliminate residue which is present. 
  1. Flip and Rotate Your Mattress

It turns and swaps ensuring it does not wear out and remains crisp.

When to do it: For the double-sided mattresses, the flipping should be done every three months. For single-sided ones, just rotate. 

  1. Control Humidity

Damp conditions are likely to cause a build-up of mold and dust mites in the house.

Tips:

  • The next way is to control indoor humidity levels and try to maintain them below 50 % and for this, you can buy a dehumidifier.
  • In addition, air-conditioners control the levels of moisture in a room.
  1. Tackle Stains Immediately

Spots are soothed before they have a chance to penetrate the fibers.

DIY Solution:

  • Mix mild detergent and water.
  • Pat the affected area with the cloth (but do not wet it).
  • It should be allowed to air dry completely before covering the mattress.
  1. Air Fresheners as Essential Oils

Crisp your mattress smell with natural aromas from essential oils.

How to do it: In case of cleaning, dilute a few drops of lavender or tea tree oil with baking soda. Leaves out a smell and fights bacteria. 

  1. Reduce Pet Access

Again, much as we love our pets, they shed fur, dander, and dust onto your mattress.

What to do: Choose a special pet bed, or restrict a dog’s or cat’s ability to climb onto your bed during the night.

10. Schedule Professional Cleanings

Even with regular DIY care, professional deep cleaning is a must in Dubai’s dusty environment.

  • Why it’s essential: Removes embedded dust mites, allergens, and bacteria that regular cleaning can’t.
