This TikTok-Famous Cleaning Mattress Hack Could Ruin Your Vacuum

This year’s infamous «Sunday Reset» trend has become a pillar of the #cleantok community. Along with doing the dishes and swapping out sheets, creators have made it part of their pre-week routine to post a video of how they do their cleaning reset.
Everyone sharing their own routines has inspired plenty of hacks—the most popular of which is bit of a mystery. If you find your feed filled with aesthetic cleaning videos, you might have wondered why influencers are sprinkling entire boxes of baking soda over their mattresses.
Since you can’t exactly throw your entire mattress in the washer along with your sheets, deep-cleaners turn to other methods to leave their mattresses looking (and smelling) brand new. The idea behind using baking soda is that it cleans and deodorizes it with little to no effort.
Plus, for anyone worried about their mattress developing mold over time (yes, it’s a thing!), baking soda soaks up moisture, keeping it from becoming moldy.
So, where’s the issue? Well, you can’t exactly leave several cups of baking soda sprinkled all over your mattress—you do have to sleep on it, after all. So the most common tactic, after letting it sit for an hour or so, is to vacuum it up.
This may sound like a simple solution, but it can do real damage—not to your mattress, but your vacuum. The particles of baking soda are so small, they can get caught in the components, causing it to clog. Whether you have a brand-new vacuum or not, trying this hack could cause problems like less suction power, a clogged filter, or even your entire vacuum to break down.
We do recommend using a mixture of baking soda and cornstarch to clean your mattress and remove odors, but moderation is key here: Our guide suggests shaking

This Fall-Bloomer Brings Vibrant Color And Butterflies To Your Garden
Even if you aren't fortunate enough to live next to a meadow of wildflowers, you can still capture their untamed beauty in a container or garden this summer by planting cosmos. Cosmos come in various colors, from burgundy to pink to white. Mix them up for a more natural look, like a wildflower meadow. Bonus: this colorful flower, native to tropical America, attracts birds and butterflies with its cheery blooms. Because of their wildflower characteristics, cosmo flowers are considered invasive in some environments. Cosmos are prime not only for containers but for creating a mass of color in borders or backgrounds or as a filler among shrubs.
