What builds up inside a mattress

Every night a person loses moisture through sweat and sheds skin flakes, and much of it ends up in the mattress rather than the sheets. Over a few years that feeds dust mites, darkens the surface with yellowish sweat marks, and gives the bed a stale smell that airing out no longer fixes. A mattress protector slows the process but does not stop it, because fine particles and moisture still get through.

For anyone with asthma, eczema or a dust mite allergy, that build-up matters more than how the mattress looks. Our article on dust mites and mattress cleaning explains what is going on and why vacuuming alone does not reach it.

The process, step by step

A typical mattress clean looks like this:

• A thorough vacuum of the top, sides and seams with a high-filtration machine
• Spot treatment for sweat, blood, drink and urine stains
• A low-moisture clean across the whole surface, so the mattress is never soaked
• Deodorising to deal with lingering smells
• Drying with the room aired out; the mattress is ready to make up by the same evening

Steam or dry for a mattress?

People often ask about mattress steam cleaning. A mattress is thick, layered and slow to dry, so soaking it with hot water is a bad idea; moisture trapped in the foam or springs can lead to mould and odour. That is why we use a low-moisture method that lifts soil and stains from the surface layers without leaving water deep inside. It is effective on the things people actually worry about, and it means the bed is usable that night.

If a child or older family member has had repeated accidents, or someone has been unwell, tell us when you book so the technician can give those areas extra attention. Our guide on sanitising a mattress after illness covers what you can do straight away.

Keeping a mattress fresh between cleans

Use a washable, breathable protector and wash it every few weeks. Strip the bed and leave the mattress uncovered for an hour or two on a sunny day with the window open. Rotate it head to foot every few months so it wears evenly, and flip it if the manufacturer allows. Keep pets off the bed if you can; if not, our tips on keeping a mattress fresh with pets will help.

Most households find that a professional clean every twelve to eighteen months keeps a mattress hygienic, sooner for allergy sufferers, young children or a pet that sleeps on the bed.

Couches, carpet and tiles on the same visit

Many homes in the area are spacious family houses with plenty of carpet, a well-used lounge and tiled kitchens and bathrooms. If the technician is already there for the mattresses, it can make sense to add a couch, the bedroom carpet, or tile and grout. See upholstery cleaning and tile and grout cleaning for those services, or our eastern suburbs carpet cleaning page for floors.

Questions from Templestowe Lower customers

Can you clean a mattress for a child who wets the bed?

Yes. Urine is treated with a product that breaks down the source of the odour, followed by a full clean. Blot accidents straight away, and keep the mattress protector on afterwards.

Do you clean pillow-top and memory foam mattresses?

Yes. Both are cleaned with the same low-moisture method, adjusted to the material. Memory foam in particular should never be soaked, which is why we avoid wet cleaning methods.

Do you service Templestowe as well?

Yes. We clean mattresses across Templestowe, Templestowe Lower and the rest of metropolitan Melbourne, with no travel charge.

How long before we can sleep on it?

Because we use a low-moisture method, the mattress is dry and usable by the same evening. Leave the bedroom window open or a fan running while it dries, and put fresh sheets on once it feels dry to the touch.
