Mattress Cleaning in Brooklyn Heights, Brooklyn

In a Heights row house the bedrooms usually sit at the top of several flights of narrow stairs. Carrying a mattress out for cleaning is not realistic, and replacing one means a long haul in both directions.

So we bring the cleaning up to you and treat the mattress on its frame, lifting out dust mites, dead skin, sweat and stains.

Every product we use is non-toxic and eco-safe, which suits nurseries, pet owners and anyone with allergies.

A slow pass with a high-powered vacuum comes first. It draws mites and allergens out of the upper layers, where they bother sleepers most.

Stains are handled individually. Sweat rings, Sunday coffee in bed, a toddler's accident or a pet that sneaks onto the duvet each need their own approach.

The sanitizing step follows, using as little liquid as possible. A mattress should never be left wet, and ours are not.

A light deodorizer finishes the surface without a heavy perfume smell.

Foam, latex, hybrid and coil mattresses respond differently to warmth and moisture, so the type is confirmed before anything is applied.

Big brownstones often keep a guest room mattress that sees visitors a few times a year. It still gathers dust, so a cleaning before relatives arrive is a nice touch.

Garden-floor bedrooms can feel muggy in July. If yours does, running the air conditioner or a dehumidifier afterward helps the mattress air out.

Children who move from a crib to a big bed often inherit an older mattress from a sibling or a guest room. A cleaning before the switch gives them a fresh start.

Between visits, a washable mattress protector and turning the mattress every few months keep wear even and stains on the surface.

Families with pets on the bed may want a cleaning more often, since hair and dander settle in quickly.

If a mattress has sagged or the springs have failed, cleaning will not fix that, and we will say so honestly.

Many Heights homes keep a pull-out sofa or daybed in the study for overnight guests. Those thin mattresses collect dust in storage and are quick to freshen while we are already upstairs.

We bring floor protection and carry only a small machine to the upper floors, so the stair walls and banister stay unmarked.

Add bedroom carpet or an upholstered headboard to the same appointment if you like.
