at Home Tip: fresh & clean mattress

Every couple of months sprinkle a mixture of baking soda and a tablespoon of your favorite fabric softener (or even lavender) over your mattress, let it sit for an hour, and then vacuum it up. Gets rid of dust mites and freshens up the mattress. Keep that same mixture in a small mason jar with holes poked in the top in your linen or clothes closet to keep it smelling fresh!
