We enjoy having a hot cup of coffee while in bed. One minute you’re drinking it and the next thing you know your mattress is using it! To do?
The first thing to do is to clean the excess coffee from your mattress. It should not be leaked completely, otherwise you will have a hard time getting rid of it. Now, prepare baking soda, water, vinegar, a sponge, and an empty spray bottle.
Step 1 – Spray the affected area with room temperature water to remove surface stains and prevent further damage to the mattress. Hot coffee spilled on your memory foam mattress can damage the foam, so immediately stop the heat by spraying with cold water or room temperature water.
Step 2 – Now mix one cup of white vinegar and four cups of water and put it in the spray bottle that you prepared earlier. If you don’t have a spray bottle ready, simply put the solution in a container and use the sponge to apply it to the affected area. Give it a bit of scrub to help the solution soak in better. Leave it there to dry for a few minutes, about 30 minutes or so.
Step 3: After 30 minutes, the vinegar should have removed most of the stains. If there are still some obvious stains, baking soda will do the trick. Meanwhile, spray the affected area again with clean water to remove the solution. Clean the surface with the sponge.
Step 4: Now you can apply the baking soda. Just spray it on the stained area. It is best to spray it while the affected area is still relatively wet. It should absorb the baking soda quickly. Leave it there to dry for another 30 minutes.
Step 5 – If you have a vacuum handy at home, vacuum the affected area. This will remove the stains along with the baking soda residue. If you don’t have this cleaning tool at home, your hair dryer should work just as well. Set it on its lowest heat and direct it at the affected area.
Avoid using cleaning tools like hydrogen peroxide or bleach on your memory foam. These cleaning materials can damage and discolor the mattress. For a quick fix, try the steps above so you can extend the life of your memory foam.
