The first question is usually whether you need both sides: often the side you sleep on is enough. Cleaning covers the surface, not the mattress core. Send a photo and give the size, and the specialist will tell you the price.
One side or both sides
Start with whether the mattress is meant to be turned at all. Many mattresses have only one sleeping side and the other is a base, and then there is usually no point in cleaning it unless there is a stain. If the mattress is two-sided and you turn it, or liquid has spilt over the edge, it may be worth cleaning both sides.
| Situation | What people usually choose |
|---|---|
| One-sided mattress, stains on the sleeping side | one side |
| Two-sided mattress that gets turned | both sides |
| Stain in one place only, other side clean | one side |
| Stain visible on both sides or on the edge too | both sides, but assume liquid has got inside too |
If in doubt, send photos of both sides. The specialist will tell you whether the second side is worth it.
What is different about a double mattress
The work area is larger, but the rules are the same: the surface needs as little liquid as possible, and a stain should be treated on its own, not by dampening the whole mattress. Too much water may damage the foam structure or leave moisture in the core, and in a spring mattress it may cause rust.
Then there is the weight. A double mattress is hard for one person to turn, and in some beds it sits between high sides. If you order both sides, give the bed type in the form and whether the mattress can be lifted easily. Before the work, remove the bedding, mattress topper and pillows.
Until the mattress has dried, the bed cannot be used, and drying depends on air humidity, ventilation and the filling. So think in advance about where to sleep in the meantime.
Latex and memory foam mattresses are assessed separately, because they have their own care: see the page on orthopaedic mattress cleaning. If there is a separate mattress topper on top, it is cleaned as a separate job: mattress topper cleaning.
Two mattresses in one bed
A double bed often has two single mattresses side by side. They are not one double mattress: one side of each mattress costs from €30, so together from €60 for one side of both. If only one of them has stains, you can clean just that one, but then the minimum order of €45 applies. Dirt often collects in the gap between the mattresses, so show that in a photo too.
What to expect from the result
Usually comes out
- dust and dirt on the large surface
- fresher drink and food stains
- part of an everyday smell from the fabric
May stay
- old stains that have soaked in deeply
- a smell, if liquid has reached the filling
- dips worn in where people sleep
- mould inside
A worn-in dip is wear, not dirt, and cleaning does not repair it. An old stain may stay as a pale shadow even after cleaning. More: stains on a mattress.
How much double mattress cleaning costs
One side from €45, second side +50%, so both sides from €67.50. A large size, heavy soiling or a smell raises the price, and smell treatment is extra, from €15. The price of one side of a double mattress already reaches the minimum order of €45.
Travel is included in Riga and up to about 15 km outside Riga; further out it is from €10. The price depends on size, fabric, how dirty it is, smell and distance, and we agree it before the work. Other prices.
