Mattress Cleaning Services for Homes, Guest Rooms & Rentals
You spend about a third of your life on your mattress, but it often gets neglected. Although sheets get washed weekly, the mattress below may not be cleaned for years. EliteClean offers expert mattress cleaning for homes, guest rooms, and rental properties. We handle all sizes, from singles to king-size. Our focus is on dust, odours, light marks, and everyday build-up.
Why It's Worth Doing
Every night, your body sheds skin cells and produces a fair bit of moisture and natural oils, and a mattress soaks a lot of that up over time. Dust mites mainly eat shed skin. A mattress that isn't cleaned properly gives them a warm, quiet place to thrive. This can be a real issue for anyone with allergies, a blocked nose, or itchy eyes with no clear reason. A household vacuum picks up what's on the surface, but it can't reach deeper contaminants in the fabric. That's the key to a proper clean, not just a quick once-over.
What We Actually Do
First, we check the mattress size, fabric, and any visible marks or odours. This shapes the price and the method. Selected marks are pre-treated if the fabric allows it. Then, the mattress is cleaned using a method that suits the material. For example, memory foam needs a different approach than a traditional sprung mattress. This is because it holds moisture differently and takes longer to dry. Once it's done, we'll explain the drying time and ventilation. We'll also let you know if anything might stay due to age, past stains, or products used before we got here.
Being Honest About Stains
Many mattress stains you find online seem like they can be fixed with simple tricks — baking soda, toothpaste, or a warm iron. Some of these help with light marks. But once a stain sets, like protein-based ones from urine or sweat, it bonds with the fibres. This makes it much harder to remove completely. We'll always be honest at the quote stage about what you can expect for your mattress. We won't promise results we can't deliver when we're in the room.

What This Won't Fix
Old stains, dye transfer, mould, and long-term discolouration might not come out completely. We won't charge you for a result we can't guarantee. Fabric wear and age-related damage are different from cleaning. No treatment can fix either issue.
What It Costs
Mattress cleaning starts from £60, with the final price depending on mattress size, how many you're booking, and the condition. It's often booked alongside bedroom carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, or as part of a wider end of tenancy clean in a furnished property — worth mentioning at the quote stage if that's the plan, since combining jobs in one visit is usually more efficient than booking them separately.

Before We Arrive
Please strip the bed and take off the mattress protector before we arrive. This saves time and lets us start cleaning right away. The mattress shouldn't be slept on until it's properly dry, so it's worth planning the visit around a day you don't need the bed back immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does mattress cleaning cost?
From £60, depending on size, quantity, and condition. We'll confirm an exact price once we know the details.
Can you remove urine stains completely?
We can treat them, but results depend on how deep and old the staining is, the fabric, and what's been used on it previously. We'll be upfront about what's realistic before starting.
How long does the mattress take to dry?
It varies with ventilation, mattress thickness, and how much treatment was needed — we'll give you a realistic estimate on the day rather than a generic number.
Do I need to remove bedding first?
Yes, please strip the bed and remove any mattress protector before we arrive.
Can this be combined with other services?
Yes, it's commonly booked alongside upholstery cleaning, bedroom carpets, or as part of an end of tenancy clean in furnished properties.
Is it safe to use straight after cleaning?
No — the mattress needs to be properly dry before it's slept on again, so it's worth timing the visit around when you can leave it be for a few hours.
