While hydrogen peroxide works effectively, if you’re looking to save some money, water is a suitable alternative.
Chantel recommended: “Mix half a cup of hydrogen peroxide or water with one tablespoon of dishwashing liquid.
“Spray this mix on the stain and then sprinkle it with baking soda [also known as bicarbonate of soda]. Allow it to sit for about 15 minutes.”
Once 15 minutes had passed, the social media user continued: “Then wipe this mix off and stains disappear.”
After mixing the solution, you can use a vacuum cleaner to remove any excess.
If you’re eager to give this trick a try but find yourself lacking baking soda or washing-up liquid in your cupboard, fret not. These items are readily available in many supermarkets and high-street stores.
You can purchase baking soda for as little as 65p from Tesco, while washing-up liquid is priced at just 55p from Asda.
For this hack, you’ll only need a tablespoon of washing-up liquid, which amounts to less than 1p per usage, and a sprinkle of baking soda, costing around 5p. This makes the total cost of this hack just 6p per usage.
While the washing-up liquid effectively cuts through stains, the baking soda serves to “deodorise” your mattress, leaving it smelling incredibly fresh.
