Has anyone ever re-covered boxed springs or a mattress?

Sari Graham on Jun 29, 2015You could try using the hand held attachment on a carpet cleaner you'd use to clean upholstery with. After it's cleaned, apply a thick layer of baking soda over the wet area. This helps draw out the moisture, and when it's dried, you just vacuum everything up. I refer to Pinterest all the time for help and ideas and it would probably have quite a few ideas on this subject. Good luck!Helpful Reply

Marion Nesbitt on Jun 29, 2015As long as they are clean, it doesn't really matter - except as an irritation. Just go ahead with your idea of mattress covers - they look like bed linens.Helpful Reply

Linda on Jun 30, 2015Pinterest shows some pretty ways to cover a box spring. I have an easier fix. My daughter spilled nail polish remover down the side of her bed. After airing it out, it left an ugly stain. I just got an extra fitted sheet and put it over the box spring. Pull it snug--you could even staple it underneath to make it snug. There is already a mattress cover and sheet on the mattress, so it looks nice too.Helpful Reply

Wanda.ll on Jun 30, 2015If place leaked and your stuff then got wet and mold will be growing. So the best is to cover and maybe recover to keep mode away from you. Also you might contact a company that cleans rug and see if they can help. There also are places that might be able to rodo for you check Goolge for someone in your area.Helpful Reply

Anita Gian on Jun 30, 2015I would remove the old fabric and wash and dry it. If you don't want to re- use it then just staple a fitted sheet and/or matrerss cover to the frameHelpful Reply

Nancy minshew on Jun 30, 2015If they smell like mildew, you can spray with vodka and that will remove the smell/ I also would not remove the cover but cover with fitted sheets and then put a plastic cover them.Helpful Reply
