What builds up in a mattress

We spend about a third of our lives in bed. Over time, a mattress collects sweat, body oils, dead skin and dust, and before long yellow patches and a stale smell appear.

Unlike sheets, a mattress can't go in the washing machine. A deep vacuum lifts dust and dead skin from the surface, and stain treatment works on the marks that sheets and protectors didn't stop.

We clean with as little moisture as possible, so the mattress dries in hours and the inside stays dry.

  • Sweat marks and yellow patches treated
  • Seams and edges vacuumed
  • Low-moisture method

Mattresses we clean

Most mattress types can be cleaned. We check the label first.

  • Innerspring

    The classic mattress with springs inside. Top and sides cleaned, and the other side too if it can be flipped.

  • Memory foam

    Soaks up liquid like a sponge, so it's cleaned with as little moisture as possible.

  • Latex

    Doesn't like too much water or strong products, so we keep the clean light.

  • Pillow top

    One-sided mattresses with a soft top layer. The top gets the most attention.

  • Kids' beds

    Often the ones with the most accidents. Cleaned gently.

  • Rental and holiday beds

    A clean between tenants or guests, with notes on any marks that stayed.

Stains and smells

Most mattress stains come from the body or from spills. Fresh ones clean up well; older ones often fade rather than disappear.

Usually improve a lot

  • Sweat and yellow patches
  • Body oil build-up
  • Food and drink
  • Fresh bed-wetting accidents
  • Dust and dead skin
  • Stale smells

May not come out fully

  • Old blood stains
  • Urine that has soaked in
  • Rust from springs
  • Mould
  • Water damage
  • Sagging springs

Had an accident? Strip the bed straight away and blot the mattress with a clean towel. Don't soak it with water, and never use bleach on a mattress.

Mattress cleaning, explained

What cleaning can do for a mattress, and what it can't.

01

How a mattress is cleaned

A mattress can't be soaked like carpet, so it's cleaned in layers: a deep vacuum of the top, sides, seams and edges, then stain treatment, then a low-moisture clean of the surface. Keeping the moisture low means the inside stays dry and the mattress is ready to sleep on the same day.

02

What affects the price

Mattress cleaning is usually priced by size and by the number of mattresses, from single to king. Heavy stains, urine and cleaning both sides of a flippable mattress add time. A single or double is usually $80–$130 including GST. Tell us the sizes and any stains, and you'll get a clear price before any work starts.

03

Drying and sleeping on it

Leave the bed unmade for a few hours after the clean, with a window open or a fan running if you can. Most mattresses are dry by the evening. Put the protector and sheets back on once it's dry to the touch.

04

Stains: what to expect

Sweat marks, fresh spills and recent accidents usually improve a lot. Older stains, especially blood and urine that have soaked in and dried, often fade rather than disappear. We'll tell you before we start which marks are likely to stay.

05

When to replace instead of clean

Cleaning can't fix sagging, broken springs, mould or water damage. A mattress with mould, or one that has been soaked right through, usually needs replacing. If we see signs of either, we'll tell you rather than clean it.

06

Keeping a mattress fresh

Use a waterproof mattress protector and wash it with your sheets. Air the bed each morning before making it, rotate the mattress every few months and vacuum it when you change the linen. Deal with spills and accidents straight away by blotting, not soaking.

How it works

  1. 01

    Tell us the beds

    How many mattresses, what sizes, and any stains you're worried about.

    Deep vacuum

    Top, sides, seams and edges vacuumed to lift dust and dead skin.

  3. 03

    Treat and clean

    Stains pre-treated, then a low-moisture clean that suits the mattress.

  4. 04

    Let it dry

    Leave the bed unmade for a few hours. Open a window if you can.

Good to know

  • Please take off the sheets, protector and any topper before we arrive.
  • A waterproof mattress protector helps keep it clean for longer once we're done.
  • A mattress with mould or water damage usually needs replacing, not cleaning. We'll tell you if we see it.
  • Add a couch or bedroom carpet to the same visit.

Mattress cleaning questions

Can't find your answer? Call 0480 010 147.

How long does a mattress take to dry?

Usually a few hours, depending on the mattress, the weather and airflow. Most people sleep on it the same night.

How often should a mattress be cleaned?

Every six to twelve months suits most homes, and more often for kids' beds or if pets sleep on the bed.

Can you get urine out of a mattress?

Fresh accidents usually clean up well. Urine that has soaked deep into the mattress can leave a mark or smell that fades rather than disappears. We'll tell you what to expect.

Does it get rid of dust mites?

A deep vacuum lifts dust and dead skin from the surface, which is what dust mites feed on. We don't make health or allergy claims, but it's a good part of keeping a bed clean.

Can you clean both sides?

Yes, if the mattress is two-sided and can be flipped. Many modern mattresses are one-sided, so we clean the top and sides.

Do I need to strip the bed?

Yes, please take off the sheets, protector and any topper before we arrive, so we can start straight away.

How much does mattress cleaning cost in Melbourne?

We price the whole job, not per hour. A single or double mattress is usually $80–$130, and a queen or king starts from $130, including GST. Your exact price depends on any stains and whether both sides are cleaned. We confirm it before any work starts, and the quote is free.

Is it worth getting a mattress cleaned?

Yes, if the mattress is in good shape but stained or stale. Cleaning removes built-up dust, dead skin and marks. If it sags or has mould, replacing it is the better choice.
