A single mattress costs from €30 per side, a double from €45. Send a photo, and a specialist will tell you the price and what is possible with that particular stain. Surface dirt usually comes out, but what has soaked into the foam may stay.
What you can expect from mattress cleaning
A mattress is not a sofa: it is thick, it holds a lot of filling and it dries slowly. So it must not be soaked. Cleaning helps with stains and dirt in the top layer, but it does not clean everything inside the mattress.
Usually comes out
- Dust and dirt on the mattress surface
- Fresh stains on the cover or the surface
- Yellowish patches, if they have not soaked in deeply
- A slight smell from the surface
May stay
- Old stains that have soaked into the foam
- Urine smell, if urine has reached the core
- Mould inside the mattress: then the mattress usually has to be replaced
- A sagging or misshapen mattress
If you suspect bedbugs, that is a job for pest control, not cleaning.
Why a mattress must not be soaked
IKEA and other manufacturers warn that foam is sensitive to moisture: too much water can damage the structure or leave moisture in the core. In a spring mattress, moisture can cause rust. NC State Extension writes that after a soaking it is almost impossible to dry a mattress sufficiently before mould starts to grow.
So a mattress must not be soaked, and the result depends on how deeply the stain has gone in. If the mattress is already wet, blot the liquid with towels and do not heat it with a hairdryer.
The type of mattress changes the job
| Mattress | What to bear in mind |
|---|---|
| Foam | Sensitive to moisture, so it must not be overwetted. |
| Spring | Moisture can cause rust, so as little liquid as possible is used. |
| Latex | Harsh solutions can make it brittle. It must be protected from direct sun and heat. |
| Coconut fibre | The fibre does not suit prolonged moisture, and the mattress needs good ventilation. |
| TEMPUR | The manufacturer writes that the material must not be washed, sponged or dry-cleaned. Check the manufacturer's care instructions first. |
For other brands the rules are set by the manufacturer. Photograph the mattress label if there is one, and write the brand in the form. More detail: orthopaedic mattress cleaning, children's mattress cleaning, double mattress cleaning.
One side or both sides
The price is for one side, and the second side costs +50%. So a single mattress with both sides starts from €45, a double from €67.50. Both sides are worth cleaning if you turn the mattress and sleep on both sides, or if there is a stain on the underside as well.
If you do not turn the mattress, the top side is usually enough, unless there are visible stains underneath. The specialist will tell you from a photo.
Mattress cover and topper
If the mattress cover is removable, look at the label first. Many removable covers are machine washable, but not all; TEMPUR writes that some of its covers are not washable. More detail: mattress cover cleaning and mattress topper cleaning.
Stains, urine and smell
Treat a blood stain with cold water straight away and do not rub it. Hot water sets it. More detail: blood stain on a mattress and stains on a mattress.
With urine on a mattress, the answer depends on whether the liquid had time to soak in. Blot a fresh stain with towels and photograph it. More detail: mattress cleaning after urine, child's urine on a mattress, why a mattress smells. There is a separate page on a mattress after illness: mattress cleaning after illness.
Mould and dust mites: what cleaning does not do
Mould inside a mattress usually means the mattress has to be replaced and the cause of the damp dealt with, as porous material can hold mould in a way that makes it impossible to remove completely. More detail: mould in a mattress.
Against dust mites, the advice is to keep air humidity below 50%, use a protective mattress cover, wash bedding at 60 °C and vacuum often. Studies show that several measures are needed together. One clean does not cure an allergy or get rid of dust mites: dust mites in a mattress and sofa. On how often to clean: how often to clean a mattress.
Bed mattress cleaning: what to prepare
- Take off the bedding and the protective mattress cover.
- Photograph the whole mattress and the stain up close, as well as the label if there is one.
- Write down the size, the type and whether you need one side or both.
- After cleaning, do not make the bed until the mattress is dry, and air the room if the weather allows.
How long a mattress takes to dry depends on humidity, airing, temperature and the mattress filling, so we do not promise a number of hours. Think about where you will sleep if the mattress has not dried by the evening.
Mattress cleaning: price
A single mattress costs from €30, a double from €45, in both cases for one side. The second side costs +50%. Smell treatment costs extra, from €15, but we do not promise that the smell will go.
The minimum order is €45: if the total is lower, you pay €45. Travel is included in Riga and up to about 15 km outside Riga; further out it is from €10. So cleaning one side of a single mattress with no other furniture costs €45, and for that sum the second side can be cleaned too. The price is affected by size, fabric, dirt, smell and distance. All prices are on the prices page.
Mattress cleaning for hotels and in Riga neighbourhoods
Hotels, hostels and other businesses with more mattresses have a separate page: hotel and hostel mattress cleaning. The unit prices are the same, but for larger volumes we agree the price separately.
In homes we clean mattresses throughout Riga and the Riga region, for example in Pļavnieki, Ķengarags, Ikšķile and Baloži. If you do not know which travel terms apply to you, enter your address in the form. All places: where we work.
