Why Buy A Water Proof Mattress Cover?

Now that you have got yourself a great mattress, one that is comfortable and durable, it is time that you thought about investing into a cover for it. Although the mattress manufacturer might give you a 2 or 3 year warranty on the mattress, it does not stop your mattress from wearing and tearing as soon as you use it. This is especially true if you have children sleep on it.

You might be inclined to think that simply using a bed sheet can protect your mattress from the usual wear and tear, think again. A bed sheet is not water proof and it cannot therefore protect against liquid spills. What can however protect your latest investment is a waterproof mattress cover. Such covers are great investments considering how people often use their mattresses. People do not find the time to dust and clean their mattresses more than once a year meaning that it will stay dirty for most of the year.

Water beds in particular require a thick and durable cover, one that is made from material which is sturdy against abrasions since a small pin prick can destroy the water bed. Even if you do not go for a water bed, you should still think of a cover. Coir mattresses may seem sturdy on the outside but give it a few cuts and tears and the coir start sticking out making it a pain to sleep on. With a cover in place, you can happily avoid such scenarios.

When purchasing a second-hand mattress, one simply cannot guard against defects in the used mattress. The only way you can make your mattress look new is by putting a cover over it. This should give your old mattress the appeal of a new one and protect its fragile nature from outside forces.

Brand new twin mattresses are never all that new. Even when they come out of packaging, they contain within them a lot of unwanted substances such as dust, pollens, dust mites and bed bugs. The only way to get rid of them is to give them a good dusting and a proper exposure to the sun. One other way to ensure than neither of these things enter your mattress is to prepare a twin mattress cover for it.

By using mattresses with a cover, you can clean the cover as it gets dirty and avoid cleaning the mattress which can be in itself a quite demanding task. Moreover, in the case of night falls and children urinating in the bed, a waterproof mattress cover can save the day as it protects the mattress underneath it.

Tips for Dining Room Furniture Care

Having bought your handmade dining table and chairs, you will want to keep it nicely polished. Natural products like beeswax and oils are back in fashion. They are environmentally friendly, but generally not as durable as modern solvent based products. Polish manufacturers are constantly developing water based products, and oil and wax mixtures that are more durable to heat and moisture, while having little impact on our environment.

To care for your dining room furniture avoid silicon based products. Natural beeswax polish is good to use. Natural wax can come as a spray or a thicker paste from a tin. The thicker paste can be applied with a rag or a stiff brush, a shoe brush is good especially on carving. This can be buffed up with a soft rag, towelling is ideal.

A beeswax paste can easily be made using a 1lb of yellow beeswax and half pint of turpentine or good quality white spirit. By adding a tablespoon of petrol, you will speed up the drying of the wax, as it aids the evaporation of the turpentine. Beeswax can be bought from a local beekeeper, so look out for honey for sale. The wax can be shredded with a knife or broken into bits using a hammer. It is easier if you wrap the wax in a cloth first. The wax can then be melted in a saucepan, within another pan, like melting chocolate, but beware, you are using a flammable liquid near a heat source. I find that the easy way to make the paste is to put the broken bits of wax in a tin, add the white spirit, put a lid on and leave it for a day or two, stirring occasionally.

Try to avoid putting your dining table in direct sunlight. It will cause to wood to fade or even shrink. A fruit bowl left in the centre for sometime will end up with a darker area under it. If furniture is put in front of a window, it is worth closing the curtain or blind when direct sunlight is on the furniture.

Rings from hot cups, red wine and watermarks can often be removed by a professional polisher, but please be careful attempting to remove the mark yourself; you could end up with a bigger problem than you started with.

Gradually your furniture will age, taking the odd knock and dent as it becomes an antique, gaining patina from a build up of wax polish mixed with dust, creating darker areas in the corners and lighter areas in the high spots. It is worth knowing that over time, light woods darken, and dark timbers lighten, so your natural oak dining table will darken to a Tudor oak colour, and your deep brown walnut dining table will gradually become a honey colour.
