For hostels and hotels with many beds we agree the price by volume. Tell us how many mattresses there are, what size and when the rooms are free. The specialist will say which mattress is worth cleaning and which needs replacing.
Why a mattress is slower work than a chair
Mattress cleaning is limited by moisture. Manufacturers state that foam is sensitive to moisture, and in sprung mattresses moisture can cause rust. So a mattress must not be soaked: if moisture gets into the core it is hard to dry, and prolonged moisture may encourage mould.
For a hotel this means the room cannot be sold again straight after cleaning. How long the room must be kept free depends on the mattress, air humidity, ventilation and temperature. We do not promise a number of hours, so allow a margin.
As with room furniture, the best time is a low-occupancy period. Tell us how many rooms can be blocked at a time, not how quickly the work has to be finished.
Hostel: bunk beds and many single mattresses
A hostel usually has many single mattresses, so the number has more effect on the price. Tell us the number of beds per room and mark the bunk beds: the top mattress is harder to reach, and the rooms may be cramped.
If a mattress is thin and cheap, compare the cleaning price with the price of a new mattress. It may turn out that only the best mattresses are worth cleaning and that it is better value to replace the rest. Photos will help you decide.
What to put in the form
- The number per size: single and double mattresses.
- One side or both. If the mattresses cannot be turned, say so.
- Photos: the whole mattress, the label, a close-up of the worst stain.
- The material, if you know it: foam, springs, latex, coconut fibre.
- When the rooms are free, how many can be blocked at a time and whether there is a goods lift.
Material and manufacturer's instructions
Before sending a request, check the manufacturer's care instructions. For example, TEMPUR states that its material must not be washed, dampened with a sponge or dry-cleaned, so for such a mattress the manufacturer's instructions must be read first. Latex is harmed by harsh substances and direct heat. Removable covers can often be washed according to the label, if it allows this.
Mattresses in the rooms of one hotel may come from different orders. If that is so in your hotel too, note which rooms have which.
Urine, blood, mould, bedbugs
| Situation | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Urine | The stain can often be reduced, but the smell may stay or come back if the liquid has reached the foam. More: urine smell in a mattress. |
| Blood | A fresh stain is treated with cold water, as heat sets it. An old stain may stay. More: blood stain on a mattress. |
| Mould | If the mould is in the filling, it is usually a matter of replacement, and the cause of the moisture must be fixed. |
| Bedbugs | This is pest control work, not cleaning. The Health Inspectorate (Veselības inspekcija) keeps a register of such service providers. |
Cleaning does not replace disinfection, is not a treatment and does not promise that there will be no more mites in the mattress.
What you can usually expect from a mattress
Usually comes out
- Dust and everyday dirt on the surface
- Greyish areas from sitting and sleeping
- Fresher stains, if not soaked in
May stay
- Yellow rings from old liquids
- Smell from the foam
- Body impressions and deformation
- Mould in the filling
A body impression is not dirt, and cleaning does not fix it. If a mattress still smells after cleaning, it usually has to be replaced. More: why a mattress smells.
How much hotel mattress cleaning costs
Single mattress from €30, double from €45, both prices for one side. Second side +50%. For a hotel or hostel the unit prices are the same, and for larger volumes we agree the price from the list and photos. The price depends on size, fabric, how dirty it is, smell and distance.
The minimum order is €45: if the total is lower, you pay €45. So even one single mattress costs €45. Travel is included in Riga and up to about 15 km outside Riga; further out it is from €10. The full price list is on the prices page.
