Mattress dry cleaning is not the same as the dry cleaner

A dry cleaner, in the everyday sense, is a shop that takes in clothes and doonas. That is a different trade. Mattress dry cleaning, as we do it, means a low-moisture clean done in your home: a small amount of cleaning solution is worked into the cover and lifted back out with the dirt, so the foam underneath stays dry.

It suits memory foam, latex and mattresses with delicate covers, and anyone who wants as little moisture as possible in the bed. For most spring mattresses with a sturdy cover, steam cleaning (hot water extraction) gives a deeper result, because it rinses sweat and body oils out of the top layers and pulls them straight back out. We look at the mattress before choosing, and our guide to steam cleaning versus dry cleaning sets out the trade-offs.

Homes here, and the beds in them

Box Hill South is part of the City of Whitehorse, with post-war houses on suburban blocks, a good number of units and townhouses on subdivided lots, and apartment living growing closer to the Box Hill centre. That mix brings a mix of mattresses: long-serving beds in family homes, mattresses in rentals that have been through several tenants, and the bed in a spare room that only gets used when relatives visit.

If you have moved into a rental with a provided mattress, or you are a landlord furnishing one, a clean between occupants is a sensible step. It takes out what the last person left behind and makes the bed more pleasant to sleep on.

In apartments, tell us the floor, whether there is a lift and where the van can park. The machine stays in the van and a hose runs up to the bedroom, so access is worth sorting out when you book rather than on the day. Our technicians are used to working around tight hallways and small bedrooms.

Signs a mattress is due

Our article on sanitising a mattress after illness is worth reading if someone in the house has been unwell.

• Yellow or brown patches where someone sleeps
• A stale or musty smell when you strip the sheets
• Itchy eyes or a runny nose that seems worse in bed
• Marks from a spill, an accident or a pet
• It has never been cleaned and is more than a couple of years old

Afterwards

Leave the bed unmade until the evening and open the window or run a fan to keep air moving. Then put a breathable waterproof protector on before the sheets. It is far easier to wash a protector every week or two than to treat a stain that has soaked into the mattress. Vacuum the mattress when you change the sheets now and then, and rotate it every few months.

Most households find a professional clean once a year keeps a mattress in good shape. Allergy sufferers, people who share the bed with pets, and families with young children may want it done more often.

Questions from Box Hill South customers

Do you clean both sides?

Most modern mattresses are one-sided, so the sleeping surface is what matters. If yours is double-sided and you want both faces done, say so when you ask for a quote and it will be included in the price.

Can you also clean our couch?

Yes, on the same visit. Our upholstery cleaning page for Box Hill South explains how we test and clean fabric lounges.

Will the mattress smell of chemicals afterwards?

No. It should smell clean and neutral. Deodorising is included, and the cleaning solution is extracted rather than left in the fabric.

Are your technicians police-checked?

Yes. Our technicians are insured and police-checked, which matters when someone is working in your bedrooms.
