How Do You Deep Clean a Mattress? What Tools Do I Need?
I am naturally sweaty and only use Fan (no AC) so I sweat through the night and the smell sticks to the mattress (and the pillows).
Is there a way to clean this mattress before I invest in a mattress cover?

Rent a wet and dry sofa/carpet vacuum, like a Kärcher Puzzi (I know). I did recently for my sofa - a good machine will cost 1500 or so, but I only paid 30 to rent it for a day.
They’re dead easy to use and you’ll be shocked at the amount of grime that comes out. There are tutorials on YouTube, here’s a good one.
Baking soda, vinegar, and and all those other house-wife hacks are bullshit and won’t help you at all.
As an aside; baking soda and vinegar does fuck all. They break down to salt water. There is no cleaning magic happening. You can use baking soda or vinegar depending on what you clean, but most certainly not on a mattress that requires deep cleaning.
Finally invest in a protector and possibly a waterproof pad in between. The protectors are washable, so chuck that in the washer every so often and you’re golden.
My tiniest caveat is baking soda and vinegar is meant to create microscopic bubbles that can physically lift and agitate things -- but you are correct it's not a chemical/solution for cleaning - just a little micro scrubbing for particular use cases. .
