For you we have prepared the answers to the frequently asked questions regarding the maintenance of beds.
-
When is it time to replace my mattress?
We should replace our mattress with a new one every seven years out of hygienic reasons and because the human body and its needs change over time.
-
Should the mattresses be cleaned regularly and how? Is the deep -clean offered by some cleaning services and individuals a good decision?
If the mattress has a removable and washable cover, it is advisable to wash it at least once a year. The non-removable mattress cover should be cleaned and wiped with a wet cloth. It is not recommendable to perform a deep-clean of the mattress cover, because it can damage the cover and does not reach the core of the mattress.
-
What to do if the mattress gets wet?
The mattress should be well dried on both sides. If the mattress has a removable and washable cover, remove it as soon as possible, wash it and dry it in the sun, and then wipe the mattress and dry it.

How to clean a baby mattress if there is a spot of urine on it?
It is advisable to clean or remove these stains as soon as possible. With lukewarm water (a drop of a cleaner can be added to it) and a sponge gently wipe the stain until you remove the contents of the stain. Do not rub the stains, as this will enable the dirt to penetrate into the fabric even faster. Both stains and unpleasant odours can effectively be removed by washing soda.
-
How to clean a mattress with mould on it?
We can wipe the place where the mould appeared with washing soda or essential tea oil (mixed with water), but it is advisable to replace such mattress as soon as possible. We do not recommend foam and latex mattresses for wet and damp rooms, as despite their air channels and perforations they are less airy than the pocket spring core or Bonnell spring core mattresses. There should be enough space under the mattress to allow air ventilation. For the mattress base you should use slatted bases that provide proper support and airiness. When buying a new mattress, explain the dampness problems to your seller, as they will be able to advise and recommend the best mattresses regarding your conditions.
-
How can we make sure that our mattress keeps its shape and stays clean?
It is advisable to turn the mattress several times a year. If you use a pocket spring core mattress you should use pay attention to choose a proper mattress base. We recommend slatted bases with slats that are less than 4 cm apart. We should also pay attention to weight distribution – pocket springs are intended for lying positions, so when sitting on bed, make sure that you do not sit on the edge of the bed but rather more in the centre of the mattress. It is advisable to wash the mattress cover at least once a year.
-
How important is the bedding that we use? Can bedding affect the mattress features?
If bedding is made of poor quality materials that are not airy and breathable, this will cause body overheating and sweating while sleeping, even if the mattress is airy and of high-quality materials. Bedding is just as important as it comes in direct contact with your skin, so it is important that it is made of quality materials.

How to wash the removable/washable mattress cover?
You have to check the maintenance specifications that are listed on the cover (maintenance labels). The mebloJOGI® mattress covers can be washed in a washing machine using the wash program for sensitive clothing. The cover must not be dried in a drying machine, and it mustn’t be ironed. The advantage of removable mebloJOGI® covers is that they have a zipper that seperates the lower and upper part, allowing you to wash them individually.

Can I wash latex, memory foam and HR foam pillows?
All mebloJOGI® pillows have a removable and washable cover that can be washed at 60 °C in a washing machine. The cover must not be ironed and dried in a drying machine. The insides of the pillow, ie the memory foam, latex and HR foam, are not washable. But you must know that these are all quality and certified materials that prevent the development of mites, bacteria and mould and therefore do not need to be washed.
Recommended:
We recommend using our mebloJOGI® Protector mattress pad intended for the mattress protection against liquids, stains and dirt. It is special because of the innovative materials that allow the circulation of air inside the mattress, while preventing the liquids to enter into the bed core.
