    I was a girl, I was told to make my bed when I got up. Now I know to leave the sheets and blankets pulled back for a while before I make the bed to air out the bed. I have had my own housekeeping business for over 16 years and I still watch cleaning videos to see if I can get more tips or hints. You can never stop learning!

      I see people put their sheet right-over the mattress. Oh no! My Mom always impressed on us we place a mattress pad first! Sometimes an encasement then a pad... It helps absorb the sweat we off during the the night!! It doesn’t get washed EVERY time.. but quarterly. THEN goes the fitted sheet. Then the top sheet. My Home Ec Prof. showed us how to make a bed up w/ a person in the bed.& emphasized we should fold our linens to accomplish just that! Make it easier; Length wise!! It make it soo easy to find the center & equalize the drop of the sheet so both persons get enough sheet. I see people billow the top sheet in the air then try to determine the middle. Nope. Perfect every time if you lay the center of the sheet length wise down.. then flip open the sheet. Prestó! It’s perfect!! Also, I think hospital corners are not taught. It makes the bed look sooo nice & neat! I can’t sleep in a messy bed. I recall my niece getting bit by a spider that crawled in bed w/ her. I told her the true story about my friend who had a brown recluse fall off the ceiling onto her back& her rolling onto to it causing it to bite her! It was HORRIBLE! I tried go lance it, but the pain was too intense. I shared the details. My niece makes her bed up EVERY day!! She don’t want surprises EVER!
      Other bed story.. my sisters burglar alarm went off while she was out of town... I was watching the house so I went to meet the police and they “cleared” the house ( w/ their weapons drawn. They came Bd k to tell me the house was beautiful.. BUT.. u should check one room.. it “ Looked like it got tossed!” I went in and it was the same nueces room.... I told the Officer.. sorry... that’s not burgled .. it’s just a preteens room!! She’s messy !! You should see her room now! She has the BF over all has to be perfect!! Ha ha!! motivation!!?? 🤣

    As a person with allergies this is routine for me lmao, the only thing I haven't tried is the baking powder one because I don't have the vacuum for it. Another tip, treat our pillows the same way. I bought a protective case at Walmart, and when I wash everything on my bed (every two weeks, but I change my pillowcase every 4 nights to avoid acne and allergies), I let it breathe and vacuum it too. Besides I don't lay down or allow others to touch my bed if they haven't showered, even less if they went outside and carry pollution, dust, and who knows what with them. My bed is sacred and I'm very picky when it comes to it.

    I love my purple mattress protector because of the elastic it has. It stays on the mattress until I take it off to wash it. Plus it stays cool all year round. Plus it’s stretchy to allow me to enjoy my mattress to the fullest. Love it. I even bought 2 to switch them out when one is being washed. 🥰
    When I was in college I never thought twice about a mattress protector. I never thought I needed one. Then I learned why I do, and now I use one all the time. Never again will I go back.

    Thanks for the video.... I've been doing all this since I bought my matress. I actually have a plastic water proof barrier I slide onto mine and then I put a quilted matress cover on that. My matress is now 23 years old! It's still in excellent condition and it's because I've always done what you taught in your video.
    I have to admit, when I go to a hotel I freak out. I'm such a germaphobe I literally wipe every hard surface down with wipes I bring on my trip. As far as sleeping on the matress, I bring a sleeping sack and my own pillow to lay on the existing sheets. I sleep much better this way. I just don't trust that hotels clean well. When I travel I don't travel light.

Don't just rely on covers, it still needs refreshing.

    Step 1: Strip the bedding on the hotel room bed, make sure there are no creepy crawlers on the mattress, then remake the bed using her fresh clean bedding.
    Step 2: Relax and enjoy your stay while ensuring a nice restful night of sleep 😴 on her own clean fresh smelling bedding!

    Whenever I change my bed sheets, I also usually (every time I make my bed too) throw my pillows with clean cases into the dryer for about 5-10 minutes to "sanitize and fluff" them. I throw in a air freshener sheet to deodorize them from dander and/or head sweat. It feels refreshing to sleep on.

      Cotton barrier cloth zippered big bag to enclose entire mattress and another one for the box spring. These can prevent dust mites and skin cells from entering the mattress, and you can wash the barrier cloth. On top of the barrier cloth bag, a good thick mattress pad, also washable. Goes a long way to keep things clean. I like you suggestions as well.

    This is especially important for teenagers! And especially those unfortunate teens with extra stanky body odour. I know one. They have 4 layers of protection on their bed under the sheet, a waterproof layer, a topper for extra comfort for growing bones, and a quilted layer to absorb that sweat and dead skin. All of them get washed once a week, as well as the 3 layers on their pillows. It really deals with 95% of the stankyness of their bedroom, the rest is taken care of when they take their washing out, the carpets get a refreshing clean, and the dehumidifier goes on for a couple of hours in the winter, or open the windows in the summer. It's also very important to have a strict "no food outside of the kitchen/dining area" rule to greatly prolong the life of ALL your furniture! Food. Ruins. Everything. I only allow water ourside of those areas, and I have a Bissell spot cleaner for extractions or emergency spot cleaning if needed, because accidents WILL AND DO happen. Especially those "teenage accidents" nobody talks about... yep, teenagers are dirty, smelly, messy creatures too sometimes, and sometimes they really can't help it, poor things ❤ keep in mind that they are going through A LOT of changes and they just need time and help learning how to deal with them, and it's hard! ❤

    Some mattresses come with a removable cover- be careful when taking that cover off as some mattresses are made cheaply with fiberglass. It should be illegal but b/c there's a cover there, companies can skirt the law. So check your mattress to see before you go all out.

    BTW, great vlog. As for staying at hotels pre-pandemic I checked the bed for bedbugs & never put my luggage on the floor or unpacked into the dressers. Bedbugs don’t care how much the bottom line of the hotel is; they travel where they wish. Btw, if you have 3 red itchy bumps near each other in repeated spots that’s a sign of bedbugs; it’s their breakfast, lunch, & dinner. Eww but true.

    Last week my dog peed in her sleep and it went through my comforter, sheets, mattress protector, to my mattress 😩 I ended up saturating the stain area with a solution of hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and dish soap and left it for three days to breathe over the weekend and it worked!! I ended up vacuuming it off and then spritzed the top of the mattress with a solution of half water half rubbing alcohol and some lavender oil and it’s like new. It looks much better.

      Sealy she’s been. Turns out she likely has something called urinary incontinence, long story short it makes it much harder for her to control her bladder. Apparently it’s fairly common with spayed dogs. So she’s starting some meds for it :)

  • @Cyndy101
    @Cyndy101 Před 4 lety +5

    Great ideas Melissa! I never realized that baking soda was hard on our vacuum! I certainly don't have a shop vac. I guess I'll keep vacuuming my mattress on a regular basis and only use the baking soda a couple times a year and sparingly. I like to vacuum my mattress every month when I take the mattress protector off. I wash my sheet every weekend without fail. I love fresh bedding.
    I also sleep with multiple throws folded up all over the bed for the 2 cats and Gatsby to sleep on. I find the cats are especially guilty of leaving their hair behind so I launder those little blankets very often and that way it keeps better control of their hair. Gatsby is nonshedding so I rarely find his hair around.
    Speaking of cat hair, I saw your post about Molly's fur on your lap and I know that scene to well. I have come up with a small trick to help eliminate those situations. Brushing our cats is a job that we neglect because we sit down and then our cat come to us and we realize we need to brush her but the brush is in the other room in the grooming bucket. And we procrastinate it until next time. I decided to add a small decorative basket to my coffee table and that's where I keep only 1 thing, a cat brush! So now for the last year or so when the cats want to be brushed or I see the basket I reach for that brush and brush until their little hearts are happy. My one girl will stand on her back legs with her front paws on the table and that's her tell. She then will stay there while I brush her for 2 or 3 minutes. Now instead of brushing them basically never, they get brushed everyday very easily. They hardly have any hair coming out when I started doing it everyday and they very rarely throw up hair balls. I don't think they've tossed a hairball in at least 6 months. I can tell you that little lidded basket was the best idea I had. I also keep their nail trimmers in there and at the start of the month everyone gets their nails trimmed, like it or not.
    Just a little pet tip for you guys and sweet Molly. 😘😊💛

    @EmBotBeepBeep Před 4 lety +1

    So, on staying in hotels, if you can afford the packing space, I highly recommend bringing you own sheet, fitted sheet and full enclosure pillowcases. You can fit a surprising amount of bedding into one large zippable pillowcase. Most places you go, you’ll know what size beds you’ll be staying in. Strip the bedding, use your own sheets (with the flat sheet, you can still use the comforter), put up a DO NOT DISTURB/NO ROOM SERVICE tag. At the VERY LEAST, I recommend packing your own full enclosure pillowcases and always shower in the mornings. It sounds excessive but now in the midst of the pandemic, just the thought of staying in hotels now makes me feel so uneasy.

      @@Nikki3b0oxX If it's moldy you can't sleep on it! Mold in a home is no joke, regardless of type. It's hard to get rid of on flat surfaces, let alone porous ones. For the health of you and your family, please get rid of it! They need to be well ventilated. With ours, I don't even really make the bed that often to keep air flowing and it is on a slat style frame, not a box spring. Check with your manufacturer on what they cover, or how to remedy it, if possible. I have a Zinus green tea mattress from Amazon, it's awesome and cheaper than other brands out there. The reviews speak for themselves!
