Why Professional Mattress Cleaning Is Important
Your mattress absorbs sweat, dead skin cells, body oils, and airborne dust every night. Over time, this creates the ideal environment for dust mites, bacteria, and allergens to thrive — even if your sheets are washed regularly.
For many Melbourne households, an unclean mattress can contribute to poor sleep, allergy symptoms, asthma flare-ups, unpleasant odours, and general discomfort. Professional mattress cleaning removes these hidden contaminants, helping create a healthier sleeping environment and extending the life of your mattress.
Our Mattress Cleaning Process
Our mattress cleaning process is designed specifically for sleep hygiene, allergen reduction, and stain removal — not general carpet cleaning. Each step is tailored to safely clean mattress fabrics while removing contaminants that affect health and comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our mattress cleaning service
How often should a mattress be professionally cleaned?
Most mattresses should be professionally cleaned every 6–12 months. Homes with allergy sufferers, pets, children, or recent spills may benefit from more frequent mattress cleaning to reduce dust mites, allergens, and bacteria.
What does professional mattress cleaning remove?
Professional mattress cleaning removes dust mites, allergens, sweat, body oils, bacteria, stains, and odours that build up over time and cannot be eliminated with regular vacuuming alone.
Can mattress cleaning help with allergies or asthma?
Yes. Mattress cleaning helps reduce common allergy triggers such as dust mites and allergen build-up, which can contribute to asthma symptoms, congestion, and poor sleep quality.
How long does it take for a mattress to dry after cleaning?
Most mattresses are dry within 4–6 hours, depending on airflow, humidity, and the level of cleaning required. Opening windows or using fans can help speed up the drying process.
Is mattress cleaning safe for children and pets?
Yes. We use eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products that are safe for children, pets, and sensitive individuals while still delivering a deep, hygienic clean.
Can you remove urine stains and odours from a mattress?
In many cases, yes. We treat urine stains and odours using targeted cleaning solutions designed to break down bacteria and neutralise lingering smells. Results depend on how old the stain is and how deeply it has penetrated.
How long does a mattress cleaning appointment take?
A standard mattress cleaning appointment usually takes 30–45 minutes per mattress, depending on its size, condition, and the type of staining present.
Is professional mattress cleaning really worth it?
Yes. Professional mattress cleaning improves sleep hygiene, reduces allergens, removes odours, and helps extend the life of your mattress, making it a cost-effective alternative to early replacement.
