Any ideas how you dry out a damp mattress?

Question

I've just moved house and one of the beds were stored in a garage, the mattress is slightly damp (it's not soaking wet!), how do I dry this out?

Answer 1

Make sure you spray some vinegar and baking soda to prevent any moldy smells

Answer 2

You probably best standing it up against a wall in a warm room for a day or two, but not directly on the radiator, as it may burn the mattress.

Answer 3

leave it air dry or if you can move it outside on a nice day dry it that way.Spray alittle frebreeze on it to make it smell nice.You might want to spray it for bugs too as a few might of got up inside the frame while in the garage

Answer 4

If you like me are enjoying a wonderul British winter then I would put it in a really warm room for a few days, put it on its side and turn it every day. It should be totally dry within a week.

Answer 5

I would run as many fans as possible in the room with the mattress- also turn up the heat!

Answer 6

dry outside if weather is good if not stand against wall drying with fans changing the mattress round so does not burn

Answer 7

best way is just to lean it against a radiator, turning it around every now and again, soon be dry.......if any particular damp patches use a hair dryer.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Lay it out under a fan

Answer 10
