Mattress Cleaning in Sagaponack, NY

A Sagaponack house can have six, eight or more beds between the main house, a guest cottage and a kids' bunk room. Over a summer, many different people sleep in them.

Then the house closes up for months. When it opens again, the mattresses can smell stale from the damp ocean air.

Counting is where we begin. A house south of the highway may have a primary suite, several guest rooms, a bunk room for the grandchildren and a cottage by the pool. Knowing the number of beds and where they are lets us send enough people to finish the property in a single trip.

Each bed is stripped and looked over. We note yellowed areas near the pillows, spills, makeup and any odor, and we tell you or the house manager what is likely to lift and what will only fade.

A strong vacuum then works over the quilted top, the borders and the piping. Fine ocean sand travels in on bare feet and hair, and it gathers in those stitched lines more than people expect.

Stain work comes next, with a separate product for sweat, for drink spills and for cosmetics. Bunk beds used by young kids usually need the most attention here.

For the main clean we mist the surface lightly and extract right away. A mattress near the dunes should never be soaked, because the sea air keeps moisture from leaving, and a wet core can sour.

The last step is an odor treatment for the closed-house smell that builds up between October and May. It neutralizes the source rather than adding scent.

Beds can be made up again that evening in nearly every case. We leave windows or fans set up so the rooms keep breathing.

Owners who rent the house for part of the season often book a mid-July visit between tenants as well as the spring opening.

Spring opening is a good moment to have the bedroom carpet done as well - see carpet cleaning. Every service we offer in the village is on our Sagaponack page.
