Mattress Cleaning in Kingsbridge, Bronx

Throwing out a mattress in Kingsbridge means a narrow hall, a small elevator or a flight of stairs, and then finding a place on the curb for bulk pickup. Most people would rather keep a good mattress and clean it.

A mattress collects more than it looks like. Skin flakes, sweat and dust build up inside, and dust mites feed on all of it. In steam-heated buildings, where the air is dry and dusty in winter, the problem can feel worse.

Everything happens right on the box spring or platform, and so little moisture goes in that you can make the bed up again that evening.

The technician first checks the type of mattress, because foam, latex and innerspring each handle moisture differently. Then a strong vacuum with a fine filter goes over the top, sides and seams, which pulls out the dust and dead skin that sit just below the surface.

Next comes stain treatment, a dust mite and allergen solution and a low-moisture sanitizing pass with a light deodorizer. Each bed takes about half an hour to forty-five minutes.

Winters in pre-war buildings mean the heat is often high and the windows closed. Dust has nowhere to go and settles into bedding. People with asthma or allergies often book in late fall or early spring.

Plenty of units near Broadway are split between roommates. Booking all the bedrooms together means one appointment, one person letting us in, and a lower cost for each tenant.

Children's beds see juice, the odd night-time accident and a cat curled at the foot. Nothing harsh goes into our solutions, so the little ones can be tucked in again after it dries.

Bed bugs are a separate problem that needs a licensed exterminator. If we see signs of them during a cleaning, we will stop and tell you, so you can call the right people.

If your bed has an upholstered frame or headboard, we can clean that as well, with very little moisture.
