How do I get rid of the stink from my memory foam mattress pad?

Posted on November 9, 2009 by admin

Sometimes I sweat in my sleep and it seems to have absorbed into my memory foam mattress pad. I doubt that this is washable. How do I get rid of the stink?

remove the cover if you can… and wash it, then spray your mattress with febreeze and let it dry. if you can’t remobve the cover, spray it good and let it dry, then get a mattress pad cover. then you can wash it when needed. we have the same problem, my husband sweats a lot, all year long. if i don’t wash the cover a couple times a week, it starts to smell sour…same with the pillows.

    Rent a steam cleaner and go to work.

    I have the same problem and also my dog stinks the house up. I use an air purifier that is a little expensive but really works

    Cleaning: Simply spot wash by hand with warm water and mild detergent. Rinse and gently ring out. Allow product to air dry prior to use, using previously described process if http://www.memoryfoam.com/faq.asp#you like. DO NOT machine wash or dry.

    Do you ever change your sheets? Change the sheets to start.

    Memory Foam can make for a very hot bed so don’t use a sheet that’s really heavy or any blankets that are heavy either cause you’ll sweat even more.

    Try using Febreeze antimicrobial. It kills the odor causing bacteria and refreshes the area. Let it dry completely before putting freshly washed sheets on.

    Also in your sheets use a good fabric softener, bleach them if possible and wash them on hot. This will remove any odor in them and cut down on the odor in the pad.

    try sprinkling some baking soda over the mattress pad, under your sheet…and yeah, use less blankets, shower before bedtime…
