I’m a cleaning pro – how to remove yellow stains on mattresses in seconds with just two common household items
IF your mattress has gotten stained, you may think it’s a lost cause, but there are DIY solutions that can help.
A cleaning expert has shared the two-step method you should try to help remove yellow stains from your mattress.
Third-generation janitor and founder of Clean That Up, Brandon Pleshek, shares cleaning tips for common messes and focused on stubborn mattress stains.
“Here’s a quick and easy way to get rid of yellow spots on your mattress,” he said in an Instagram Reel.
He pointed out a dull yellow splatter on a white mattress.
“Spray the spot with hydrogen peroxide,” Brandon said while holding up a generic brand from Target. It costs just $1 for 32 ounces.
It had a 3 percent formula and a spray nozzle.
Then, he said: “Then take your damp towel and work it in with a little gentle scrubbing.”
While Brandon didn’t specify whether a certain towel would be better for the job than others, he used his company’s branded microfiber cloth.
The absorbent and durable green towel sells for $15 on the website.

He scrubbed in the hydrogen peroxide by using back-and-forth motion with the towel over the stain.
“And it’s completely gone,” Brandon said while he showed the clean mattress.
“Not all heroes wear capes, one person commented, amazed by the cleaning hack.
Another person added: “Just in time! We had a house guest who let the dog sleep (and drool) at the foot of the bed leaving yellow spots. Thank you!”
When asked whether the hack would work on old stains, Brandon responded: “You can get stronger hydrogen peroxide at Sally Beauty actually.”
“That being said I would start with the 3 percent bottle. For old or stubborn spots, spray and let sit for a bit,” he added.
Brandon also confirmed that this “bleach” cleaning method also works on other liquids like blood and on other fabrics like pillows and white T-shirts.
