If your mattress as experienced water damage after Hurricane Sally, you’re probably wondering if you can save it or if you just have to throw it out.
Since a mattress is a big expense, you don’t want to just throw it away, but you also don’t want to deal with mold on the mattress that could make you sick.
Dry the Mattress Completely
Vacuum the Water Damaged Mattress
Clean the Mattress
Place the Water Damaged Mattress in the Sun
Give it the Sniff Test
Once you have the mattress dried, vacuumed, and cleaned, put your nose close to it and smell for any lingering odors. If you smell anything damp or musty, you may have mold and mildew growing already.
Mold can be white, green, and black and it may not be visible on the surface because it’s inside the mattress.
Our thoughts are with all the people who recover from hurricane Sally!
