1. Spray and Spread
Grab a can of shaving cream—gel type did the trick for me.
Spray the shaving cream all over your mattress.
Give it a gentle rub to spread the magic.
2. The Waiting Game
Leave the mattress for 20 minutes to let the shaving cream do its job.
3. Scrub-a-Dub-Dub
When the time's up, grab a soft brush or cloth and scrub the mattress thoroughly. Pay extra attention to any troublesome spots.
I went a step further and used a wet cloth to pick up additional dirt.
4. Drying Time
Let your mattress air out and dry completely before using it again.
