Prolong the life of your mattress with a good mattress protector. Vacuum periodically using a low setting and a soft brush attachment. Spillages / stains should be tackled immediately by dabbing the area with a clean, white, dry, absorbent cloth. Avoid rubbing or scrubbing For dried on stains we advise seeking the help of a specialist cleaning company. Do not bend the mattress as this can break the springs and side supports. Some mattresses are turnable - if so then turn every 3-6 months.
