Mattresses come in all shapes and sizes, but with time spring mattresses with their variations in types have gotten more expensive. Mattresses are deemed more or as important as the bed and so mattress cleaning is. Due to their price, there is an expected usable life of these mattresses. So, they must be treated accordingly. Hence, It is important to keep the mattress in the best shape along with proper cleaning.
Mattresses are where we spend at least 6 to 7 hours of our day. So, they do tend to get dirty. Despite having bed sheets over them, they are more useable thing than any other upholstery item in the house. If there is no plastic covering then the mattress will gather dust and body secretions after use. That is why it is important to get a professional mattress cleaning service to keep it both looking clean and sanitary.
Like most other upholstery items the process of cleaning a mattress is the same with 4 main steps.
Process of mattress cleaning
The first step is the use of a vacuum cleaner over the surface to remove any loose dust and dirt. This step is critical before the other steps to make the cleaning process effective.
The second step is the application of an enzyme-based cleaning chemical. Since most mattresses are white the concentration of the cleaning chemical can be higher without any fear of causing discoloration. The chemical is sprayed evenly over the surface of the mattress.
Following the cleaning chemical is the process of mechanical agitation. It requires the use of a soft bristle brush either through manual scrubbing or a powered scrubbing depending on the size of the mattress.
The final step is the use of a water extractor machine. It sprays water on the surface and vacuums it up together, forming a loop of water without making the mattress overly wet and pulling out all detergent and dirt from the mattress’s surface.
For extra sanitation, a step of using a steamer is beneficial to the cleaning routine. A professional steamer machine kills all bacteria present on the surface because of its high-temperature steam. Also, it assists in loosening up any stubborn stains on the surface as well.
Like all other upholstery stains that are left on the surface for a longer duration without cleaning can become very hard to get rid of and in some cases permanent. Hence it is recommended to get your mattresses cleaned regularly.
