The first step in cleaning a mattress is to remove all the bedding, including sheets, mattress pads, and/or mattress covers. Throw bedding into the washing machine on the hottest setting and with a high quality laundry detergent. Be sure to use dry heat during the dry cycle as well. This will eliminate any type of bug or pest problem. While your bedding is washing, do a thorough vacuum of your mattress. Use the upholstery attachment or any type of crevice attachment for reaching down into all the nooks and crannies of the mattress.
