Mattress Bio-Cleaning: Why Steam Cleaning Is Not Recommended
Mattress cleaning is a specialized process aimed at removing biological contaminants and allergens from mattresses. It involves the use of specific techniques and products designed to effectively eliminate bacteria, viruses, dust mites, bed bugs, and other potentially harmful microorganisms. This results in improved hygiene, the removal of allergens and pathogens, and the creation of a healthier sleep environment.There are two primary methods for mattress cleaning: dry cleaning and mattress bio-cleaning.
Mattress Bio-Cleaning and Steam Use: Why It Is Prohibited
It is often claimed that steam cleaning is an ideal method for mattress cleaning. However, this is not true. While steam cleaning can be effective for certain surfaces and materials, it is not always the best option for mattresses. In fact, steam cleaning is strictly prohibited on fabric surfaces.
Although steam cleaning can kill some bacteria and disinfect surfaces, it is not as effective in removing stains, allergens, or residues from the mattress. On the contrary, steam pushes dirt deeper into the mattress, and its high temperature can permanently set stains.Additionally, steam damages the top foam layer beneath the fabric, essentially burning it. Mattresses often contain various materials such as foam, fibers, springs, or natural materials like latex. Steam cleaning can damage these materials, especially if they are sensitive to heat. For example, memory foam mattresses can lose their shape or structural integrity when exposed to excessive heat. Since steam cleaning is not a safe option, which methods are ideal for deep mattress cleaning?
Dry Cleaning - Decontamination
Using vibration and suction technology, harmful dust mites, hair, dust, and other allergens are removed from the inner layers of the mattress. This is a completely eco-friendly cleaning method as no cleaning agents are applied.
The mattress is immediately ready for use and is recommended for mattresses that do not have stains or odors.
Mattress Bio-Cleaning
Once the decontamination process is completed, the application of cleaning agents follows to remove stains such as urine, blood, and other marks, as well as unpleasant odors.
This mattress bio-cleaning process includes decontamination, stain removal, odor neutralization, and simultaneous sterilization of the mattress surface. Although time-consuming, when done correctly, it restores the mattress to its original condition.
The mattress will require drying time and is recommended for moderately to heavily soiled mattresses.
