Mattress Cleaning Dublin

There's no fixed rule, but many households find once or twice a year keeps a mattress in noticeably better condition, with more frequent cleaning for allergy sufferers, young children or after an illness. If it's been years since your mattress had a deep clean, or you can't remember the last one, that's usually a good sign it's due.

The core hot water extraction method is similar, but we adjust it for the mattress type. Memory foam and hybrid mattresses with foam layers need more care around moisture, since foam holds onto damp for longer than the fabric surface of a spring mattress, so we take extra care with extraction and drying time on foam mattresses. We check what you have when you book so we can plan the visit properly, and if a mattress isn't suitable for wet cleaning, we'll say so rather than clean it anyway.

Yes — cot and children's mattresses can be cleaned as part of a booking, and it's a common request from parents dealing with the usual spills and accidents that come with young kids. Let us know the mattress size when you book, as cot mattresses are a different size and price to a standard bed.

That's a reasonable thing to want, and it's something we're regularly asked to do — a deep clean before a second-hand or inherited mattress goes into use addresses dust, allergens and any residue from its previous owner in a way that a vacuum alone doesn't. We can't tell you anything about a mattress's internal condition, like the state of its springs or foam, just clean it thoroughly on the surface and through the fabric.

Cleaning improves general staining and everyday marks as part of the process. For a specific set-in stain, let us know in advance — see our stain removal page for how we approach targeted stain treatment.

Hot water extraction cleaning is not a bed bug treatment, and we don't claim it as one. If you suspect bed bugs, you need a pest control specialist — treatment designed specifically for bed bugs — rather than a mattress clean. We're happy to clean a mattress for general dust, allergens and staining once any bed bug issue has been properly dealt with by a pest control professional.

It depends on drying time, which varies with the mattress and room ventilation. We use hot water extraction, which pulls moisture back out during the clean, and we'll give you a realistic drying estimate before we finish so you know when it's ready to use again.

Not usually — most mattresses can be cleaned in place on the bed frame or base. It helps if there's reasonable space around the bed to work, and if the mattress needs turning or lifting for any reason we'll handle that as part of the visit. Let us know about anything unusual with the frame or access when you book.

A good mattress protector helps keep spills, sweat and everyday dirt from soaking into the mattress itself, which can reduce staining and may mean less frequent deep cleaning is needed — though dust and allergens still build up in and around a protector over time, so it doesn't remove the need for cleaning altogether, just makes each clean a bit more effective.

Yes — mattress cleaning is a common request around house moves, whether you're bringing a mattress with you or cleaning one already in a new home before you settle in.

We clean single, double, king and super king mattresses, as well as children's and cot mattresses. Guest and rental property mattresses are no different to clean, they're just less likely to get cleaned regularly, so a deep clean can make more of a difference. Let us know the size and number of mattresses when you get a quote.

A mattress generally takes longer to dry than a carpet because of the depth of padding underneath the surface. We'll give you a realistic drying estimate for your specific mattress before we finish the job, and it helps to ventilate the room afterwards. Wait until the mattress is fully dry, not just dry on top, before putting bedding back on.

Yes — this is a common request from landlords and letting agents getting a property ready between tenancies. It's also a good option for a guest or spare mattress that doesn't get used, or cleaned, as often as a main bed.

Often, yes. The odour is treated at the source rather than covered up, and recent accidents usually come out well. Old marks that soaked deep into the filling can leave a shadow even when the smell has gone. A waterproof protector afterwards saves the next one.

Only if it's a two-sided mattress you turn over. Most modern mattresses are one-sided, so we clean the sleeping surface and the sides, which is where the soiling is. If yours flips, mention it and we'll do both.

It usually makes it much lighter and more even. Yellowing that has built up over many years can leave a faint tint, because some of it is in the fibres themselves rather than sitting on them.

If mould is actively growing, it isn't a cleaning job: the mattress may need replacing, and the damp in the room needs sorting first so it doesn't happen again. Old marks from damp that's long gone can sometimes be lightened, and we'll tell you honestly which it is.

Yes. Pillow-tops are vacuumed first, because dust settles in the quilting, then cleaned panel by panel with as little moisture as possible so the thick top layer dries properly.

Leave it uncovered, open a window if the weather allows, and keep the bedroom door open. Once it's dry to the touch, put on a clean protector and fresh sheets. We'll tell you roughly how long that will be.

It depends on the size, the type of mattress, how stained it is and how many you're having done. There's no one-size price: send a photo of each mattress and any stains, and we'll give you a clear figure before anything is booked.

Toppers with a fabric cover can usually be cleaned on the bed like a thin mattress. Foam toppers hold water, so they're cleaned with very little moisture and given time to dry. Feather toppers are a different job, and we'll advise.

Yes. Leave the bed flat and switched off at the wall, and we'll clean the mattress where it is, keeping moisture well away from the motor and wiring.

Yes. Rooms are done a few at a time around your bookings, so each mattress has time to dry before the next guests. See commercial cleaning.

Morning, ideally. It gives the mattress the whole day to dry in a ventilated room, so the bed is ready by the evening in most cases.

Wait until it's dry to the touch. Sheets and a protector trap moisture in, which slows drying and can leave the mattress smelling damp. We'll tell you roughly how long to leave it.
