Mattress Cleaning Kew

Mattress cleaning in Kew, done on the bed

We clean mattresses in Kew and Kew East homes without taking them anywhere. A technician checks the cover and the stains, then uses a low-moisture dry clean or hot water extraction, with stain treatment and deodorising included, and the mattress is dry and usable by the same evening.

Not the dry cleaner down the street

People sometimes find us while looking for a clothes dry cleaner in Kew. We do not clean clothing. When we talk about mattress dry cleaning, we mean a low-moisture method: a cleaning compound is worked into the surface of the mattress, agitated, then extracted, so the mattress is only lightly dampened. It suits quilted and pillow-top covers, memory foam and latex, which should never be soaked.

Hot water extraction, which most people call steam cleaning, goes deeper. It is the better choice for sweat marks and older stains on a mattress with a firm, tightly woven cover. We decide after testing, and we explain the choice.

Good mattresses deserve care

Kew is an established suburb in the City of Boroondara, with period houses, interwar homes, quality newer builds and apartments. Many households here have invested in a good mattress: pocket spring with a deep pillow-top, natural latex, or a wool-filled top layer. These cost a lot to replace and they last well, but only if what soaks into the top layers is dealt with.

Natural fillings need the gentlest touch. Wool and latex do not like heat or heavy water, and some covers have fine damask or bamboo fabric. We keep moisture low, test before applying anything, and work by hand on any marks.

Allergies and what lives in a mattress

Dust mites feed on the skin flakes that collect in the top of every mattress. Their droppings are a common trigger for asthma, eczema and hay fever, and tree-lined streets add pollen to the mix in spring. Airing the mattress and vacuuming help, but they only reach the surface. A proper clean extracts much more. Our article on dust mites and mattress cleaning explains the detail, and whether dry cleaning removes allergens covers the method question.

If someone has been ill, see our guide to sanitising a mattress after illness for what to do in the meantime.

Children’s beds are worth a mention too. Kids sweat more at night than adults, spill drinks in bed and have the odd accident, and a single mattress in a child’s room can pick up a surprising amount in a year. Doing every bed in the house in one visit keeps it simple, and it all goes on the one fixed quote.

Getting the bed ready

• Strip everything, including the protector and any topper. Wash the linen while we work.
• Clear bedside clutter and the floor around the bed so we can reach all four sides.
• Tell us about any stains you know the history of, such as blood, tea or a child’s accident.
• Plan to leave the bed unmade with a window open or a fan on until it is dry.
• Once dry, put a fitted, breathable waterproof protector on. It is the best single thing you can do for a mattress.

Questions from Kew customers

Can you clean mattresses in a spare room that is rarely used?

Yes, and they are often worth doing. A guest bed collects dust and can smell stale from sitting unused. A clean before visitors arrive freshens it, and it will be ready by the evening.

Do you clean upholstered bedheads and bed bases?

Usually, yes. Fabric bedheads and base surrounds can be cleaned at the same visit. Our upholstery cleaning page for Kew covers fabric furniture more broadly.

Is there a travel charge to Kew?

No. There is no travel charge anywhere in metropolitan Melbourne, and Kew is part of our regular eastern suburbs work. The fixed quote is the price you pay.

How often should a mattress be cleaned?

For most households, once a year is a sensible rhythm. Allergy sufferers, homes with pets on the bed and anyone recovering from illness may want it done more often.
