Despite spending about a third of our lives sleeping, regular mattress cleaning is often overlooked, and most of the time it’s not due to the price of the cleaning. This article will help you understand better why it’s time to clean your mattress and get that “fresh” smell back.
We use the mattress every day, and of course, it’s inevitable that mattresses accumulate dust, sweat, and small amounts of dead skin. These circumstances also favor the appearance of dust mites and bacteria that can negatively impact allergies or respiratory illnesses, such as asthma. Yes, your mattress could be full of them, but you can’t see them!
Professional mattress cleaning can remove all these contaminants and leave your mattress smelling and looking fresh.
But the doubt or even the barrier is knowing the price of a deep mattress cleaning? Well, one might think that hiring a professional home cleaning service is a luxury that few can afford. But this thought is far from reality; hiring this service has a cost/benefit that will surprise you and is much cheaper than buying a new mattress.
What influences the price of home mattress cleaning?
The prices for mattress cleaning can vary depending on several factors, which we will enumerate below:
Mattress Size
The most common size for single beds is between 80cm and 90cm, although there are options in the market for 105cm. In the case of double beds, it is most common to find mattresses between 140cm and 160cm, although there are also options for 180cm and 200cm.
Mattress Material
The mattress material can also influence the cost of the service: memory foam, foam, latex, springs, etc.
Type of Stains and Dirt
There are various types of stains: urine, blood, food, ink, among others. Therefore, each stain may require a different cleaning method. Since some stains are more difficult to remove than others, the budget may vary depending on the difficulty and type of treatment required.
Number of Mattresses
Certain companies, such as hotels and hostels, have a large number of beds, as well as nursing homes and hospitals. In all these places, mattress hygiene is particularly important.
Some mattress cleaning companies may offer discounts based on the number of mattresses to be cleaned. Keep in mind that the more mattresses there are, the easier it will be to optimize the costs associated with this type of service. On the other hand, when private clients decide to hire a mattress cleaning service, it is also recommended that they include as many mattresses as possible to take advantage of this type of offer.
As we can see, the price of mattress cleaning depends on multiple factors. Therefore, the best way to know exactly how much this service will cost is to provide us with some information so that we can provide a real quote.

How to Prepare for Mattress Cleaning?
You’ve already decided to clean, contacted a specialist company, and now what? Prepare for the technician’s arrival:
Schedule a Sunny Day
Unless you schedule a dry cleaning, steam cleaning leaves the mattress damp and requires drying. To speed up the process, schedule your cleaning on a sunny day for faster drying.
Organize the Space
Make sure the specialist has enough space to move around with the equipment in the area where the cleaning will be done. You may need to move the mattress to a larger area of your home so that there is enough space to do the work.
Remove Bedding in
Advance To avoid rushing and to speed up the service, make sure that all that remains is the mattress so that the technician can start cleaning immediately.
What are the essentials to help keep the mattress clean?
Regularly caring for your mattress is essential to maintain its appearance and functionality over time. Therefore, there are some care practices that you can (and should) adopt to keep your mattress in excellent condition:
- Regular Vacuuming: Use a vacuum cleaner to regularly vacuum. This practice will help remove dust, mites, and other debris that can accumulate on the surface.
- Rotate the Mattress: Rotate the mattress every month to ensure even wear. It is also recommended to flip it upside down every six months, if possible, to extend its lifespan. Use a Mattress
- Protector: Consider using a waterproof and breathable mattress protector.
- Stain Cleaning: For specific stains such as urine, vomit, or food stains, clean them immediately with a mild detergent diluted in water. Avoid using very abrasive cleaning products as they can damage the mattress fabric.
- Proper Drying: If the mattress becomes damp during cleaning, make sure to let it dry completely before putting the bedding back on. Moisture can lead to mold and mildew growth, which is harmful to health.
- Sun Exposure: Whenever possible, leave the mattress in the sun for a few hours. Sunlight helps kill dust mites and bacteria and eliminates unwanted odors.
