Cost: $2
Ingredients
- 1 cup distilled water
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 10 drops lemon eucalyptus essential oil
- 10 drops peppermint essential oil
- 10 drops lavender essential oil
- Spray bottle
Instructions
- Combine the water, vinegar, and essential oil in the spray bottle. Shake well to blend.
Application
- Generously spray the mixture onto your bare mattress, focusing on areas that receive the most contact. The vinegar acts as a natural disinfectant and odor absorber, while the essential oil provides a pleasant scent and deters dust mites.
Drying and Absorbing
- Allow the mattress to air dry for several hours, preferably in a well-ventilated room or near an open window. This gives the spray time to work its magic, absorbing odors and deterring dust mites.
The Final Touch: Vacuuming
- Once the mattress is dry, vacuum the top and sides using the upholstery attachment. This removes any dust, dirt, dead skin cells, and, importantly, dust mites that have been loosened by the spray.
