The Different Myths Associated With Mattress Cleaning Services

March 6, 2018

Almost all people will admit that it feels more relaxing to sleep on a clean mattress with fresh linen. This is because a clean mattress with fresh linen provides softness, comfort, and a sense of relaxation. Unfortunately, as time progresses, the mattress and its linen will become dirty once more, and the mattress will lose its feeling of comfort. Furthermore, dirty mattresses can place one’s health at risk, and this should be approached.


Despite the discomfort and risk to yourself, most people do not clean their mattresses for many years. In fact, statistics have shown that a large proportion of US homeowners do not clean their mattresses for the full time of ownership. While this lack of cleaning may be put down to negligence or an inconvenience, some people believe they do not need to clean their mattresses. This article will provide information to discard this misconception about mattress cleaning services.


1. Mattress Cleaning Should Be Cleaned When They Look Dirty

Many people in the US believe that mattress cleaning should be postponed until the furniture appears to be dirty, but this is untrue. Mattresses are created using soft materials that can attract invisible pollutants, such as pollen, fungi, and dust. The material can absorb these items quickly, and if left untreated for a long time, the mattress will accumulate more filth that can be difficult to clean. It is, therefore, important to clean the mattresses regularly and avoid any dirt collecting in its fibers.


2. New Mattresses Do Not Need Cleaning

The majority of people feel that new mattresses do not require any cleaning because, well, they are new. This is a misconception as new mattresses are as susceptible to dirt as old mattresses. In the same way that an old mattress absorbs pollutants, the new mattress will attract these items and become dirty. It is best to have the furniture cleaned regularly to maintain its new appearance for as long as possible.


3. A Person Can Clean His Or Her Mattress

Contrary to popular belief, it is not possible to clean your mattress independently. It is common for a homeowner to use local products such as soap and water to clean the mattress; however, this tends to result in stains and streaks. If the mattress is not clean correctly, it will not only lose its quality but will also experience damage to the fabric. This is why it is recommended that you hire a professional cleaner to have the mattress cleaned correctly.


4. Any Cleaning Company Can Be Used

Remember, it is not possible to use any cleaning company to clean a mattress. Some companies will provide cleaning equipment, but if they do not have trained professionals, they could damage the mattress. When hiring a cleaning service, it is recommended that you review their credentials and read testimonials from prior clients to determine the level of service. You don’t want to spend money on a service and have to purchase a new mattress afterward because of damage to the old one.

What if I told you that the items in your home are weaponized against your health? Would the answer to that question change your perspective about the necessity of an industry designed to help make your home environment cleaner and safer than it is under the status quo? With the exceptions of opening doors and windows of the home; our home climate control systems are relatively closed systems. This means that the majority of the air circulating through our homes is being controlled and constantly recirculated throughout our homes. While there are safeguards in place for those climate control systems, things like the air filter in the cold air return of the air conditioner or air handler can’t remove everything that floats in and out of the climate control system. This means that there is still plenty of tiny particulate matter that negatively impact our health are constantly being moved through our homes as the air circulates back to the air handling system. Let’s be real for a quick second. How many of us out there change out the air filter in the cold air return every 30 days; as recommended by the climate control system retailers and installers? I rest my case. So, where does the leftover tiny particulate matter go if it is missed by the climate control system? The answer is primarily the soft textiles in our homes. For example, Carpets, Upholstered furniture, drapes, rugs all act as a natural air filter for a home. Think about the last time you got home from work, tired, mentally exhausted, and the couch became your refuge to seek refuge from the day. Chances are, after the free fall into the comfort zone of the couch, you begin to notice tiny bits of dust fluttering through the air as it floats through the light that passes through the window treatments in your home. The vast majority of that debris in the air came directly from the cushions that you are now are laid out on. As we sit down on cushioned furniture, the air inside the cushion becomes expelled out of the fabric it was in and goes right back into the air where it can be breathed in and cause indoor allergy reactions. Chances are that if most of us are forgetful about the filter in the cold air return, we probably haven’t maintained the natural air filters in our home that are soft textiles in nature as well as we could be. As the owners of the soft textiles that help filter the air in our homes, we should vacuum the soft textiles in our home as often as we regularly vacuum the carpet in our homes to reduce the amount of allergens and air pollutants in our homes and give our homes the healthy indoor air quality that we all want and deserve.
