Steam cleaning is the go-to method when a mattress needs a deep freshen-up. The crew sprays heated water and a mild cleaning solution into the fabric, agitates it to loosen the grime, then pulls it straight back out with a powerful vacuum. Sweat, body oils, dust and the residue of old spills come out with the water instead of sitting in the upper layers of the mattress.
Our Bulimba booking line makes it simple. Call and tell us how many mattresses you have, the sizes and whether there are stains or smells. We give you an upfront price before anything is booked, then line up a nearby independent crew for a day and time that works for you. The crews we book carry portable machines, so a second-floor bedroom in a Queenslander or a unit in a riverside block is no problem.
- A slow dry vacuum of the surface, seams and edges first
- Pre-treatment of sweat lines, spills and marks
- Hot water extraction in slow, overlapping passes
- Extra attention on the pillow end, where oils build up
- Grooming of the fabric so it dries evenly
- Drying tips before the crew packs up
The trick with steam cleaning is balance. Too much water and the mattress stays damp for a day. The crew uses controlled passes and strong extraction so the surface is left only slightly damp. With a window open and a fan running, most mattresses are ready in four to six hours, though a wet February afternoon may take longer.
Many people in Bulimba book a steam clean at the start of spring and again after the humid months. Add a couch, headboard or rug to the same visit if you like. Call 07 3543 2093 to get your price and a time.
