Long-term homes and the forgotten spare bed

Ashwood, in the City of Monash, is an established suburb of post-war brick and weatherboard homes, with newer double-storey houses and units on some of the subdivided blocks. Plenty of households have been in the same house for many years, and the beds tell the story: a good mattress in the main bedroom, a couple in the rooms the children grew up in, and a spare that comes out when the grandchildren or visitors stay.

Spare-room mattresses are easy to overlook because they are rarely slept on. They still collect dust, and if the room is kept closed they can develop a musty smell. Cleaning them along with the main bed on one visit makes sense, and it puts everything on one quote.

Clean it or replace it?

A clean will not fix a mattress that has lost its support. If it sags in the middle, you can feel the springs, or you wake up sore, that is wear in the core and cleaning cannot change it. What a clean does do is lift stains, sweat, odours and the material dust mites live on from the top layers.

So the question is usually simple. If the mattress is still comfortable but looks or smells tired, cleaning is worth doing. If it is uncomfortable, put the money towards a new one, and protect the new one from the first night.

How we work on the day

The technician starts with a slow vacuum of the top and sides, then pre-treats marks according to what caused them. Pillow-tops, memory foam and quilted covers usually get the low-moisture method, where a solution is worked in and extracted with very little dampness left behind. Firm covers with heavy soiling may get hot water extraction for a deeper rinse. Deodorising goes over the whole surface.

Pet urine and children’s accidents get an enzyme-based treatment aimed at the cause of the smell. For anyone in the house with asthma or hay fever, our article on whether dry cleaning removes allergens is a useful read.

• Strip the bed, including the protector and any underblanket.
• Clear bedside tables and the floor around the bed.
• Point out stains and tell us what caused them if you know.
• Afterwards, open a window and leave the bed unmade until evening.

Leafy streets and spring pollen

Ashwood has plenty of established trees and gardens. In spring, pollen comes in through open windows and settles on bedding. Washing sheets weekly in hot water, keeping pets off the bed in high pollen season and fitting a washable mattress protector all reduce what builds up between cleans.

If the carpet is due too, see our carpet cleaning page for Ashwood. Couches and dining chairs can be added as well.

Questions from Ashwood customers

Do you clean mattresses in Notting Hill and other parts of Monash?

Yes. We work right across Monash, including Notting Hill, as part of our eastern suburbs work. There is no travel charge in metropolitan Melbourne.

Can a mattress with a removable cover be cleaned?

Yes. Some covers can be washed at home if the label allows, but the foam or springs underneath still need attention. We clean the mattress itself in place, and can do the cover on the bed if it should not be machine washed.

How long does each mattress take?

It depends on the size and how much stain treatment is needed. We give you an idea of timing with the quote, and the mattress is usable again by the same evening.

Can you get a pet smell out of a mattress?

Usually. Pet urine is treated with an enzyme-based product that breaks down the source of the smell. Our tips on keeping a mattress fresh with pets help stop it happening again.
