If you need to tackle stubborn stains , do so lightly with a little washing up liquid , remember to regularly wash and air your bedding , and to truly aid longevity , invest in a mattress topper , which will not only help keep your mattress fresher for longer but will add an extra layer of protection .
Out with the old in with the new ...

Take part in the ultimate space saving hack and pack up your clothes for the season . Invest in some hardy storage boxes or vacuum pack bags and start clearing up some much needed space in your wardrobe . Use this time to also clear out any unwanted clothes , donating to charity items to be loved once again .
Dust be gone ...
The task of dusting may seem like the most mundane of them all but could just be the most important when it comes to really giving our homes a refresh . When clearing out those wardrobes be sure to dust before refilling , not forgetting the hidden corners . Tackle those dust collecting skirting boards , and pay some attention to your ceilings , often the prime spot for the cobwebs .
Spring is usually the time we like to let the air in and open our windows , but this can often lead to more dust particles and even allergies being let into our homes . So , for those hard to control dusty surfaces , take a look at closing a window or two !
