To get mold out of a mattress pad, you'll need to clean it with a rubbing alcohol solution. Here’s how:
Step-by-Step Mold Removal Guide
-
Prepare the Solution: Mix equal parts rubbing alcohol and warm water in a bowl or bucket.
-
Saturate and Wring Out a Rag: Dip a clean rag into the rubbing alcohol solution. Wring it out thoroughly so it's damp, not soaking wet.
-
Scrub the Mold: Use the damp rag to scrub away all visible mold from the mattress pad.
-
Extend the Cleaning: Continue scrubbing beyond the visible edges of the mold to ensure you eliminate any invisible spores. This helps prevent regrowth.
-
Allow to Dry Completely: Ensure the mattress pad dries completely before putting sheets back on it. You can help speed up the drying process with a fan or by placing it in direct sunlight (if the material allows).
