You wash your sheets regularly, but what about the mattress itself? The average mattress is home to millions of dust mites, dead skin cells, bacteria, and allergens. These microscopic pollutants can trigger allergies, asthma, eczema, and disrupt your sleep. This is why professional mattress cleaning is a crucial health maintenance task.
What’s Hiding in Your Mattress?
- Dust Mites: These microscopic creatures feed on dead skin cells and their waste is a major cause of allergies.
- Bacteria & Viruses: Sweat and spills can lead to the growth of harmful bacteria in your mattress.
- Allergens: Pet dander, pollen, and mould can all become embedded deep within your mattress fibres.
- Stains & Odours: Sweat, body oils, and accidents can lead to unsightly stains and unpleasant odours.
Why DIY Methods Aren’t Enough
Simply vacuuming your mattress with a household vacuum can’t reach the deeply embedded contaminants. Sprinkling baking soda may help with surface odours, but it does nothing to kill dust mites or remove deep-seated allergens.
The Professional Steam Cleaning Solution
The most effective way to truly clean and sanitize a mattress is through professional hot water extraction (steam cleaning).
- High-Temperature Steam: Kills 99.9% of bacteria and dust mites on contact.
- Powerful Extraction: Sucks out all the loosened debris, sweat, and allergens from deep within the mattress.
- Stain & Odour Removal: Professional-grade solutions effectively break down and remove stains and odours.
Health experts recommend having your mattress professionally cleaned every 12-18 months. It’s an essential step in creating a truly healthy sleeping environment.
