Clean a stained or dirty mattress with foaming upholstery shampoo and let it dry.
Step5
Vacuum your mattress with an upholstery attachment when you do your spring-cleaning.
Step6
Take your mattress outside once a year (when you're doing your spring cleaning)and let it air out in the sun for a day.

Turn a regular mattress over once a month. Flip a futon mattress every other week. Alternate between turning the mattress end to end and side to side to prevent sagging.

For the first four times that I flipped my mattress, I numbered the top left hand corner of my mattress cover. This way it evenly gets flipped side-to-side and end-to-end.
