Why you should have your mattress professionally cleaned

We spend roughly a third of our lives in bed, so having a clean mattress is important to you and your family’s health. In fact, you’d be horrified if you could see what’s lurking in there!

Did you know that the average mattress is home to over a kilogram of hard and dead skin flakes (gross!). This is in addition to the protein stains left by traces of sweat and other bodily fluids that embed themselves into the fabric of your mattress. Exposure to these residues and microorganisms can lead to skin allergies, hay fever or serious respiratory illnesses such as asthma. These residues also turn your mattress into a 5-star spa retreat for dust mites.

  • Microscopic bugs, dust mites thrive in warm, humid, and dark environments, including mattresses.

  • Dust mites feed on shed human and pet skin cells, pollen, and fungal spores.

  • Regular cleaning is crucial to prevent allergies and asthma, especially in dry climates where dust mites thrive.

​​​​​​​Allergies and health concerns

  • Dust mite excrement, a common allergen, can cause sinus symptoms, poor sleep, headaches, itchy eyes, depression, sneezing, and fatigue.

  • Regular cleaning is necessary to prevent allergies, asthma, and maintain optimal health.

  • Dirty mattresses contribute to poor indoor air quality, leading to various health issues from eye and throat infections to respiratory diseases.

  • Mattress cleaning is vital to combat allergy disorders, such as eczema, asthma, and rhinitis.

A good night’s sleep

Knowing you are sleeping on a clean and hygienic mattress is your ticket to a peaceful night's sleep. Quality sleep is essential for overall well-being, so make sure your mattress is a contributor to a good night’s sleep!
It is recommended that mattresses be cleaned every six to twelve months. Happy, healthy snoozing!

Latex mattresses

Fortunately, latex is resistant to dust mites. So, you probably won’t need to do anything to deep clean a latex mattress itself unless you have severe allergies. Just remember, you should never expose your latex mattress to sunlight.
