When it comes to how to clean a mattress, there are various routes to take. For this hack, you'll need a spray bottle handy.
Vanesa measures out two cups of water, one cup of hydrogen peroxide, five drops of natural dish soap and five drops of some essential oils. Next, she shakes the mixture up, and sprays it directly onto the stains on her mattress, one of which is spilled coffee.
She alternates between brushing the area with a spare toothbrush and blotting it with a white towel. Eventually, the stain vanishes.

Thousands of likes and hundreds of grateful comments later, it's safe to say this trick went down well. 'Omg I NEEDED this because I spilled coffee on my mattress,' one wrote. 'I tried vinegar and water, didn't work, so gonna try this. Thank you!'
Many people had spilled coffee on their mattress, while others were inspired to give the mattress in their guest bedroom a clean having seen this natural mattress cleaning hack. In the comments, Vanesa says that the hack will most likely work on old stains as well as new ones.
She also says that the hydrogen peroxide won't leave a stain. Hydrogen peroxide is simply water with an extra oxygen atom (H2O2), a mild antiseptic used on cuts, burns, and scrapes.
If you try this at home as part of your natural spring cleaning routine, make sure you use colorless dish soap, available at Amazon. Otherwise, you may end up with yet another stain, which nobody needs.
