Every 12 months
A sensible rhythm for most Melbourne bedrooms. Once a year stops sweat and skin building up into marks.
Mattress Steam Cleaning Services in Melbourne
A mattress takes sweat, skin and spills every night for years, and the sheets hide all of it. Mattress cleaning in Melbourne is the one household job almost everybody skips.
We steam clean and extract it where it sits, so nothing leaves the bedroom. A single is $115 and a queen is $165, including GST, and you get a real drying time before we go.

What does mattress steam cleaning actually remove?
Sweat salts, skin, dust and whatever has soaked in over the years. Hot water extraction lifts it out of the top layers rather than pushing it deeper.
Vacuuming only reaches the surface. The marks and the smell sit in the ticking and the foam just under it, and lifting those takes extraction.
For the bedroom carpet see carpet cleaning in Melbourne. For lounges and chairs, see upholstery cleaning.
How often should a mattress be cleaned?
It has less to do with how it looks than with how it is used.
Every 6 months
Kids' beds, pets on the bed, or a guest bed in an Airbnb. Autumn and spring sit either side of the heating season.
Straight away
Accidents, spills and anything that soaked through. Waiting lets it reach the foam and the base below.
What happens to your mattress on the day?
Four stages, done with the mattress where it sits.
A mattress on a solid base has nowhere to breathe. Moisture from the top works down and sits underneath, which is why we turn it and look.
When can you sleep on it again?
Usually the same night, though drying times vary and run longer in winter.

Step 01
Booked for the morning
Earlier in the day gives the mattress the most hours before bedtime.
-
Step 02
Extracted hard
Slow passes pull back as much water as we can, so the foam is left damp rather than wet.
-
Step 03
Airflow while we work
Air movers run during the job through the colder months rather than after it.
-
Step 04
A real time, not a guess
We tell you when to put the sheets back on instead of saying a few hours.
Why do Melbourne mattresses dry slowly in winter?
A closed, heated house holds moisture, and a mattress holds more of it than the room around it.
- May to September. Windows stay shut and the heating runs. Condensation on the bedroom window is the visible sign of the moisture in the room
- Solid bases and drawers. Common in Melbourne apartments. No airflow underneath means the underside is slow to dry
- Heavier bedding. Cold nights mean more layers, and every layer holds body moisture against the mattress
That is why we book winter jobs for the morning and run airflow while we work.
Why does cleaning a mattress work when airing it does not?
Three things worth knowing before you book.
Airing a mattress only dries the surface
Sweat, skin and spills work down into the ticking and the top of the foam. Opening a window or flipping the mattress does nothing to lift them back out.
Hot water extraction rinses those layers and pulls the water back out. That is the gap between airing a mattress and cleaning it.
A mattress left wet is worse than one left alone
Foam holds water long after the surface feels dry, and a cold Melbourne bedroom gives it nowhere to go.
We extract slowly, run air movers through the job in winter and tell you when the sheets can go back on. Drying times vary with the mattress and the weather.
Priced by size, published before we arrive
Our prices are published by mattress size and every figure includes GST, so there is no price worked out on your doorstep.
A single is $115, a queen $165 and a king $185, with both sides starting at $255. We turn the mattress on the day and tell you honestly whether yours needs the second side doing.
Nobody looks under their own mattress. It is the one surface in the house that gets eight hours of contact a night and no attention at all.

What do Melbourne customers ask about mattress cleaning?
How much does mattress cleaning cost in Melbourne?
A single is $115 and a queen is $165, including GST. A king is $185 and doing both sides starts at $255. Prices are published by mattress size rather than worked out on your doorstep.
How long before I can sleep on it?
Usually the same evening if we come in the morning, though drying times vary and run longer in winter. We extract slowly and run air movers during the job through the colder months. You get a real time rather than a vague few hours.
Can you get urine stains out of a mattress?
Often yes, though it depends how deep it went and how long it sat. Urine passes through the ticking into the foam, so treating the surface alone rarely holds and the smell can return. We check the depth first and quote that part separately.
How often should a mattress be cleaned?
Once a year suits most Melbourne bedrooms, and every six months for kids' beds or where pets sleep on the bed. Autumn and spring work well because they sit either side of the heating season.
Do you clean both sides?
Yes, from $255. It is worth doing on a solid or drawer base, where the underside has no airflow and holds moisture through winter. We turn the mattress and show you before recommending it.
Will it get rid of the smell?
Usually, if the cause is body moisture, dust or light contamination. A smell coming from the underside or the base needs those treated too, which we check on the day. Anything soaked deep into the foam is quoted separately.
Do I need to strip the bed first?
Yes, please take the sheets and protector off before we arrive. The mattress stays on the base and nothing leaves the room, so we can start straight away.
What other cleaning do we do in Melbourne?
Most customers book more than one. Same crews, same standards, one invoice.
