Hi! My husband and I just moved back to the US after four years overseas. While we were gone, our stuff sat in storage, including this mattress. No matter how I try, I cannot get the musty smell out of it. I have put baking soda on it and vacuumed. I have put scented carpet powder for pet smells/mold on it and vacuumed. I have sprayed the mattress down with antibacterial disinfectant spray and vacummed. I have Frebreezed and everything. Still, the mattress smells musty and dusty. It is so bad, that the whole room smells musty (thankfully, it is only a spare bedroom). And even worse, if you lay anything on the bed, like clothes, the smell transfers to the clothes.
I told my husband that the mattress has to go. He still thinks it can be saved. So I have come to you all seeking the answer.
Is the mattress beyond hope? Should I throw it out? Or can the mattress be saved? Do you have a remedy for the smell?
Looking forward to your ideas and answers.
Thanks...
