Mattress cleaning in Mitcham is handled by insured, police-checked technicians, and we have been working in homes across metropolitan Melbourne since 2004. Nothing is taken away: the machine stays on the van and the hoses come to the bedroom.

What steam actually does to a mattress

Mattress steam cleaning is really hot water extraction. A cleaning solution is sprayed into the cover and upper padding at controlled pressure, loosening sweat, body oils and grime, and the same tool immediately vacuums it back out with the soil in it. The key is extraction. A mattress that is left soaked takes too long to dry and can smell musty, so we use as little water as the job needs and make several dry passes.

Not every mattress should be steamed. Pillow tops, quilted covers with thick fill, and memory foam are better with a low-moisture clean, where a compound is worked into the surface and extracted. We check the label and the construction before deciding, and we tell you which method we are using.

Whichever method suits, the visit follows the same order: a high-powered vacuum of the top, sides and edges, stain pre-treatment, the clean itself, deodorising, and then a final extraction pass so the cover is left as dry as possible.

For upholstered bed bases and fabric bedheads, the same testing applies. Many can be cleaned at the same time, which is worth doing because a bedhead collects hair oils and dust in the same way a couch headrest does.

Bedrooms in the established east

Mitcham is a leafy part of the City of Whitehorse, with a lot of postwar brick and weatherboard homes on garden blocks, plus units and townhouses that have gone up in their place. Many households here have more beds than people use each night: a guest room for visiting family, an adult child’s old bedroom, a spare single kept for the grandchildren.

Those beds tend to be forgotten. They gather dust and a stale smell from sitting under a window or a sheet for months. Cleaning them alongside the main bed means every mattress in the house is ready when visitors arrive, and it can all go on one quote.

Older homes can also have bedrooms that stay cool and a little damp through winter, particularly on the shady side of the house. A mattress in a room like that benefits from a clean followed by a good airing on a dry day, and from a protector that is washed regularly.

Small habits, longer life

• Use a fitted waterproof protector and wash it with the sheets.
• Rotate the mattress end to end every few months, so one side does not take all the weight.
• Vacuum the top and edges with the upholstery tool when you change the sheets now and then.
• Let the bed breathe for half an hour in the morning before making it.
• Keep pets on their own bedding, or read our tips for mattresses in homes with pets.

Questions from Mitcham customers

Can you clean the couch as well?

Yes. Fabric couches, armchairs and bedheads can be cleaned on the same visit. Our upholstery cleaning page explains how we handle different fabrics.

Is it worth cleaning an old mattress, or should I replace it?

If the mattress is still comfortable and supportive, cleaning is worthwhile: it removes stains, odours and the build-up of dust. If it sags, has broken springs or hurts your back, cleaning will not fix that, and we will say so rather than take on a job that is not worth doing.

Will steam damage a memory foam mattress?

Soaking memory foam is a bad idea, which is why we do not steam it. Memory foam and pillow tops get a low-moisture clean instead, which lifts surface soil and stains without saturating the foam.

Do you charge travel to Mitcham?

No. There is no travel charge in metropolitan Melbourne, and Mitcham is part of our regular eastern suburbs work. If the carpet is due too, see carpet cleaning in Mitcham.
