Some may wonder if standard household items that are acidic, like white vinegar, can get rid of fiberglass. While vinegar is a common household cleaner, it is not effective in dissolving fiberglass. Our invesigations concluded that attempting to use vinegar can lead to skin and lung irritation since the sharp edges of fiberglass may still be present even if partially dissolved.
Using strong acids, such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, can dissolve fiberglass particles. However, we cannot recommend you use these by yourself at home. If you were to use them, you would need to seek professional assistance due to the potential hazards involved with handling these acids. But we must note that applying acid to your mattress will further damage it, making it an unsuitable solution anyway.
