When it comes to cleaning your mattress, there are plenty of ‘experts’ shouting their cleaning hacks from all corners of the internet. If you’ve watched an online tutorial where someone has cleaned their mattress with alcohol, you might be wondering if you can do the same. Well, the answer isn't entirely straightforward. 

Whether you should clean your mattress with alcohol largely depends on the material of your mattress, the type of alcohol you’re using, plus the cleaning method you’re following. This is especially important if you have invested in the the best mattress for your sleep and body, which can be a significant cost so you need to look after it.
