Many houseproud Brits work hard to ensure that every spot of their homes is germ-free and sparkling clean.
But there are some spots even the biggest neat freak can overlook - and one of these includes our mattresses. In fact, new survey data has revealed that very few people are cleaning more than the sheets.
People should be cleaning their mattress every six months, according to retailer Bensons for Beds, but only 11 per cent of people do so while 40 per cent of us clean them less regularly. Luckily, the job can be done with an ingredient that can be picked up at Aldi and Tesco for just 52p.
