Maybe you’re upgrading your mattress to one that’s more comfortable and bigger. Or maybe you’re moving in with that special someone. Either way, before you can buy a new mattress, you need to figure out what you’re going to do with your old one. Luckily, we did all the homework for you. We’re going to show you step by step how to clean and store a mattress, box spring, and bed frame. Because if you value your space, and don’t want to deal with selling your old mattress on Craigslist, you know that keeping it around is not an option. Before you clean your mattress, box spring, and bed frame, we recommend taking apart the bed frame and headboard. After you’re done, put all the screws, nuts, washers, and other small pieces in a Ziploc bag.
Then, tape the bag to your headboard. That way, all the pieces are in one place, which makes moving, storing, and re-assembling your bed frame much easier. Pro Tip: Don’t forget to wash your bedding. Especially if you’re going to use it on your new mattress or put them in storage. Once you’ve disassembled your bed frame, separate your mattress from the box spring. If you’re like most people and clean your mattress never, you’re probably wondering: How the heck do I clean a mattress? It’s pretty simple actually. Grab your vacuum and use the brushy nozzle to vacuum all the dust, crumbs, and dead skin that’s settled into the mattress. Next, use an upholstery cleaner like Bissell’s Pet Stain Pretreat for Carpet & Upholstery (recommended by Good Housekeeping) to remove stains and obliterate odors. Just make sure to do this in a well-ventilated area and let your mattress air out before you put it in storage. Prefer to go a more natural route?
Add a few drops of your favorite essential oil to a container of baking soda and sprinkle it on top of your mattress. Give it a good massage, leave it there for an hour, and then vacuum it off.

Though your box spring gets much less direct use than your mattress, you should still vacuum it like you did with your mattress. Oh, and don’t forget the bed frame. Mix some water with dishwashing liquid, dip a rag into the solution, and then wipe your bed frame with it. Next, go over your bed frame with a wet cloth, let both of them dry, and that’s it. You’re ready to move on to the next step: Now that you’ve cleaned your mattress, box spring, and bed frame, the last thing you want to do is to get anything dirty or scuffed up while in transit. Put your mattress and box spring in separate mattress bags to protect them against dust, dirt, stains, water, and damage while they’re in transit or storage.
To protect your now-disassembled bed frame, wrap the pieces in moving blankets. If you’re the Hulk, skip to the next section. If you’re not the Hulk, skip nothing because you’re going to need help from a friend. And moving straps like Forearm Forklift’s Mattress Mover straps so the both of you can easily lift your mattress, carry it downstairs, and load it into a moving or rental truck without breaking your backs. Why the emphasis on “moving or rental truck”? Because tying a mattress to the top of your car is dangerous (Who wants to crash into a flying mattress? Oh right, no one), and you run the risk of bending your mattress beyond repair. And now for the fun part: Haul everything to a storage unit. Pack everything into a storage unit. Make sure your mattress lies flat (so the padding and coils don’t settle). Return your rental or moving truck. And then treat your friend to dinner as a “thank you” for taking time out of his/her weekend to help you.

The Most Insane Jeep Wrangler Money Can Buy There is no rest for the weary mattress shopper. Next to used car shopping and getting your fingers stuck in a sausage maker, it’s the kind of brutal and fruitless ordeal we’d rather bypass altogether and go straight to drinking. Whether in a big department store or an awkward mattress shop (where you’re the lone shopper and the salesman is pressuring you into buying a mattress with a sales pitch tantamount to a high school dare), the experience typically sucks. Plus, you do enough research on the not-so-sexy “mattress forums”, and you realize that buying a new mattress is essentially a crapshoot of huge proportions. The big brands wantonly use different mattress names for the same kinds of mattresses — so if you try a “Dream Cloud” at one store, it has a totally different name at another (this is to avoid price matching — “It’s not the same name, it’s not the same mattress!”). And then there’s the attempt at pretending that two minutes on a department store mattress while you’re fully dressed in street clothes (and fully awake) somehow magically simulates six hours in bed.
