how do you clean it?

I agree with SKID NY on questioning how you would clean a regular mattress. Please keep in mind that this futon mattress too unwieldy to launder or clean like a blanket, which is why (like any other mattress) you should use sheets with it every time. (I also don't think any dry cleaners would want to take this in for cleaning.) You can spot-treat for spills or stains (check for color-fastness first), but do not expect this heavy futon mattress to be entirely washed.

Good question. How do you clean a regular mattress? I brush and sun mine, and since it doesn't require anything else, I don't vacuum it.

In Japan and other countries that use futons like this they just sun them and whack them with sticks to knock the dust and mites out.

Honestly I have never had to clean it. Im thinking a heavy duty degreaser or some type of acid base cleaner might do the trick. Maybe even bleach and let it soak. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Almost four years running nonstop and its still going strong.

Wash it outside with the hose. Let air dry. Wash it inside in the bathtub or laundry sink. Let the water run through it and then let air dry.

I just use soap and water. I was it out right away and make sure it dries completely. I'm sure some kind of cleaning solution would work hopefully...

I use bleach water. Let it soak for a few minutes and then clean with soft brush.

Just use a damp cloth and if it gets extra dirty, use the hose on it.. It will clean up real nice..

I just spray it with scrubbing bubbles cleaner and take a soft scrub brush to scrub it.

You have to remove the part where the liquid comes out. Gently squeeze and pull out. Then rinse.

I just use a lightly damp cloth and wipe it down. It's a pretty tough little thing.

I haven't cleaned one yet but when I do I will put a small amount of dishsoap and enough water and then shake it. The other option would be to clean it like you would a coffee pot with ice, lemon juice or vinegar.

Just wipe it off with a moist cloth and its clean. Mine is always in a case so i don't have much issues keeping it clean

I've never had to clean mine with anything other than a wet towel, but i suppose windex or alcohol would work best.

Just soak it in mild soap and water, and if there's residue that needs to be removed use a fingernail brush to remove it.

Just blow it or pass you finger gently trough it. The use itself helps to keep it clean

I just wipe it out with a damp cloth. It seems to come clean pretty easily.

Just clean it with hot water & a scrubber or brush, heat it on stove to dry it & put a light coat of veggie oil on it
