- Harsh detergent should not be used for cleaning: Mattress should be cleaned with care. Different types require different ways of cleaning them. Detergent should not be used without the guarantee of its being gentle. Harsh chemicals can break down the materials in your mattress leading to a shorter lifespan of your bed.
