Mattress Deep Cleaning

How Clean Is Your Mattress?

In Singapore’s warm and humid climate, mattresses can accumulate dust, perspiration, and microscopic contaminants more quickly than many homeowners realise.

While we sleep, our bodies naturally release moisture to regulate temperature. On average, a person in Singapore may perspire about 200 ml during an eight-hour sleep. For couples sharing a bed, this amount doubles. Over the course of a year, a queen or king-size mattress can absorb more than 140 litres of perspiration.

This constant exposure to moisture, combined with body oils, creates an ideal environment for dust mites, bacteria, and mould to thrive. Dust mites feed on the dead skin cells we shed daily, embedding themselves deep within mattress fibres where regular vacuuming cannot reach.

The buildup of these allergens may contribute to common household issues such as sneezing, runny nose, watery eyes, and skin conditions including eczema flare-ups - concerns frequently experienced by families with young children or elderly members.

If you notice persistent allergies or discomfort, especially in the bedroom, your mattress may be a hidden source. Professional mattress cleaning helps restore hygiene, improve indoor air quality, and create a healthier sleeping environment for your family.

Tips for Keeping Mattresses Clean and Hygienic

Use mattress protectors - Mattress protectors act as a barrier between you and the mattress, reducing the amount of sweat that penetrates the mattress. They are typically waterproof and should be washed regularly.

Ventilation and airflow - Maintaining good ventilation in the bedroom can help reduce the accumulation of sweat on the mattress. Air-conditioning helps too.

Regular rotation - Turning the mattress periodically can help even out wear and tear, while also allowing different areas to air out and dry.

Use a dehumidifier - Dust mites love humid conditions so keep your bedroom at humidity levels between 40 - 50% with a dehumidifier.

Schedule professional cleaning - Having your mattress professionally cleaned every 6 months to tackle deep-seated dirt and eliminate mites and allergens.

The Importance of Professional Mattress Cleaning

While routine at-home maintenance is important, professional mattress cleaning delivers a deeper and more effective level of hygiene. Advanced cleaning methods target deeply embedded dirt, bacteria, and dust mites that regular vacuuming cannot remove.

Professional cleaning also helps protect your investment by extending the lifespan of your mattress. By preventing the buildup of mould, stains, and odours, it preserves both comfort and structural integrity over time.

A clean, hygienic mattress supports better sleep quality, reduces allergens, and contributes to a healthier sleeping environment for you and your family. Do not allow hidden contaminants to compromise your comfort, health, or well-being.

How Often Should You Clean Your Mattress?

Routine care plays an important role in maintaining mattress hygiene. Stains should be treated promptly to prevent permanent damage, and monthly vacuuming helps reduce surface dust and debris.

For optimal hygiene, we recommend professional deep cleaning every six months. We use a 3-step process that comprehensively removes deeply embedded contaminants, and uses high-temperature steam treatment to effectively eliminate bacteria, germs and dust mites.

For households with allergy sufferers, pets, or those who perspire more heavily during sleep, more frequent cleaning - every three to four months - is advisable to maintain a healthier sleeping environment.

Our 3-Step Professional Mattress Cleaning Process

We follow a systematic, industry-proven mattress cleaning process designed to remove deeply embedded contaminants, restore hygiene, resulting in improved sleep quality.

Step 1: Vacuuming

The process begins with a comprehensive vacuuming of the entire mattress surface using high-powered professional-grade equipment. This step removes loose dust, dead skin cells, hair, and surface-level debris that accumulate over time. By extracting these dry contaminants first, we prevent them from being pushed deeper into the mattress during the wet cleaning stages, ensuring more effective results.

Step 2: Deep Cleaning & Wet Extraction

(i) Applying Fabric-Safe Cleaning Solution

Next, we apply a specially formulated, fabric-safe cleaning solution evenly across the mattress. This solution penetrates deep into the mattress fibres to break down stains, body oils, sweat residue, and bacteria that cannot be removed through vacuuming alone. It is non-toxic and safe for households with children and pets.

(ii) Wet Extraction

Using our 2-in-1 industrial wet extraction machine, we then perform deep extraction to remove the loosened contaminants along with excess moisture. This powerful process lifts out embedded dirt, allergens, and residues from deep within the mattress while minimising over-wetting to prevent mould growth and ensuring faster drying times.

Step 3: High-Temperature Steam Treatment

The final step involves high-temperature steam cleaning to sanitise the mattress thoroughly. The heat effectively eliminates bacteria, germs, dust mites, and other microorganisms commonly found in mattresses, particularly in humid environments like Singapore. This step also helps neutralise odours and leaves the mattress feeling refreshed and hygienic.
