Things You Should Know

- To spot clean a mattress topper, soak up spills with a towel. Gently scrub the stain with a cloth dipped in a mixture of laundry soap and water.
- Sprinkle a thin layer of baking soda on the mattress topper to get rid of odors. Let it sit for 8 hours before vacuuming your mattress topper.
- Do a basic cleaning every 2–3 months, but clean spills as soon as they happen to prevent stains.
