Instead, all you need is:

Unscented washing up liquid or laundry powder

We all sweat at least slightly during the night.

To combat these stains, all you need is one simple household product: washing up liquid.

Or unscented laundry powder, depending on what you have to hand.

“Simply blot this onto any marks.”

Mattress foams hate getting wet, and a damp bed can grow mold or mildew.

So stick with a light touch.

Baking soda or, if you’re in the UK, bicarbonate of soda (not baking powder!)

Baking soda is able toneutralize bad smells and odors, for a fresher overall mattress.

“[Leave] it to dry out completely on both sides.”

And then, depending on your mattress, flip it back the right way.

Finish with fresh sheets, and enjoying the deep sleep of a job well done.

And don’t forget the bedframe you shouldclean the headboardregularly.

Also, give your mattress a chance to breathe bynot making the bed right away.

This allows sweat to circulate and dissipate.

So, fewer yellow stains in six months time.
