We spend roughly a third of our lives in bed, yet the mattress is one of the most overlooked items in the home. Over time, sweat, skin cells, dust and the odd spill all find their way into the fabric.
A simple care routine
- Vacuum the surface regularly, including the seams and edges.
- Use a mattress protector and wash it with your bedding.
- Air the room and let the mattress breathe when you change the sheets.
- Rotate the mattress if the manufacturer recommends it.
- Blot spills straight away and never rub them in.
When to book a professional deep clean
As a general guide, many households benefit from a deep clean about once a year, and more often with children, pets or allergies. Book sooner if you notice:
- Visible stains from sweat, spills or accidents
- A stale or musty smell that fresh bedding does not fix
- Dust-related sneezing or allergy flare-ups at night
- A second-hand mattress, a new tenant, or a guest room that has been unused for a while
What a professional mattress clean involves
We vacuum the surface, pre-treat marks with a fabric-safe cleaner, then deep clean with a professional extraction machine that lifts dirt and moisture out of the fabric. Drying time depends on the mattress and the weather, so we recommend airing the room afterwards.
Results depend on the age and type of stain, but as the photos show, a deep clean can make a real difference.
