Dust and vacuum the bedding regularly to keep allergies at bay. Use synthetic instead of feather pillows to 
further minimize dust.
• Sprinkle a bit of baking soda on the mattress to get rid of odours. Leave it for a few hours; then use a handheld vacuum cleaner to remove it.
• Don’t ignore spills; moisture causes the mattress to become lumpy and mouldy. Allow spillages to dry in a well-ventilated area. You could even use a hairdryer if there isn’t too much moisture.
• If you have children, make sure you protect the mattress with a rubber or waterproof sheet placed over the mattress.
• Turn your mattress over once every two months to avoid deep impressions of your body’s contours. Similarly, rotate the mattress to ensure even usage of both sides, especially if you sleep alone on a double bed.
