The diyas are lined up, rangoli stencils are waiting, and you’ve already braced yourself for the marathon of Diwali deep cleaning. Your floors will gleam, curtains will carry the scent of fresh air, and even that neglected brass bowl in the corner will shine again. But as you polish every surface of your home, one area often goes unnoticed, your bedroom.
Between late-night mithai marathons, frantic WhatsApp plans, and a growing pile of shopping bags, your bedroom quietly turns into a storage space. By the time the day ends, it’s simply the place where you collapse out of exhaustion, not the restful, welcoming retreat it should be.
Yet Diwali is meant to be about renewal. Beyond lighting lamps and decorating entrances, the festival is meant to usher good health, prosperity, and fresh beginnings into our lives. And true renewal? It doesn’t just stop at clean floors or dust-free fans; it extends to your sleep.
Why Your Sleep Setup Deserves Attention During Diwali
In Ayurveda, sleep or nidra, is one of the three pillars of good health, along with food and daily regimented routine. When sleep falters, everything else starts to feel off balance too.
The festive rush often makes it easy to push rest to the side. Card parties stretch late, the house hums with visitors, and excitement keeps your mind wide awake. But without proper sleep, even the brightest celebration can feel a little overwhelming. A clean, comfortable bed is the simplest way to reset your energy so you can fully enjoy every moment.
Hacks for Refreshing Your Mattress and Bedding
Want to refresh your cozy corner? We have some hacks for you:
-
Vacuum and Rotate Your Mattress: Your vacuum cleaner has an upholstery attachment that you may use to vacuum your mattress. Run that over the top of the mattress to get rid of dust and other irritants. You can even turn it 180 degrees to make sure that the mattress doesn't sag on one side.
-
Leave it in the Sun: If you have the chance, move your mattress to a sunny, breezy site for a couple of hours. Bacteria succumb to natural light, moisture evaporates, and your mattress smells fresh.
-
How to Control Odours (DIY edition): Put a thin coat of baking soda on the mattress, let it sit a few hours and then vacuum it clean. This simple approach that doesn't need any chemicals will keep strange smells away.
-
Performing spot-cleaning: Use a mix of mild detergent and water to gently dab at stains. Do not soak the cloth or use strong cleaners, as they can harm the foam or cover.
- Clean All of the Bedding: Put your sheets, pillowcases, and comforter in hot water to clean them. It gets rid of contaminants while rendering your mattress with a fresh smell.
