How to make DIY mattress refresher with essential oils:
- fill empty (or almost empty) essential oil bottle about 3/4s full with baking soda
- if the bottle had been washed out and is completely empty of essential oil, then add about 4 drops of essential oil. (if the bottle was empty, but hadn’t been washed out yet and still has the smell of essential oils, then just add about 2 drops of essential oil). Here are some great antimicrobial/antibacterial/antiviral essential oils to use for cleaning a mattress: lavender, lemon, orange, tea tree, cinnamon, eucalyptus, grapefruit, lime, peppermint, spearmint, orange, tangerine, and rosemary. Choose just one or a favorite combination of 2-3 oils. Here are a few combinations I love using to clean my mattress:
- tea tree, lavender, and lemon (very fresh and clean smelling)
- eucalyptus and spearmint (very relaxing, and relieves stress)
- tangerine, lime, and spearmint (smells like a citrus mojito)
- shake to mix
- put cap back on
- let it let sit overnight so the baking soda can absorb the essential oil
To Use:
- remove pillows, sheets, and blankets from bed
- pour baking soda/EO mix into a shaker or into a small strainer (if you have a king-sized bed, I would use at least two 15ml bottles of the baking soda/eo mixture)
- sprinkle on mattress
- leave on for a couple hours (perfect timing to wash and dry the bedding)
- then vacuum off
