How to Deep-Clean Your Mattress the Safe & Effective Way

  • Remove all bedding: sheets, mattress cover, and pillowcases

  • Wash in hot water if fabric allows (kills dust mites and bacteria)


2. Steam the Mattress

  • Plug in a garment steamer

  • Slowly run the steamer over:

    • Mattress surface

    • Sides

    • Box spring (if you have one)

This kills dust mites and loosens dirt trapped near the surface.

Important Safety Tips

  • Do not over-saturate the mattress

  • Keep steam moving — don’t hold it in one spot

  • Allow mattress to dry for a few minutes before moving on


3. Vacuum Thoroughly
