Why should I clean my mattress?
Nowadays mattresses on average cost over $1000. Cleaning your mattress instead of throwing it away is the more environmentally responsible and cost-effective choice. Mattresses are bulky items that take up a significant amount of space in landfills and can contribute to environmental pollution. Additionally, mattresses are typically made of materials that can be difficult to break down and dispose of properly. By cleaning your mattress, you can prolong its lifespan, reducing the need for replacement and minimizing waste. Regular cleaning can also help maintain the comfort and hygiene of your mattress, ensuring a better sleep environment without the need for unnecessary disposal. Overall, cleaning your mattress is a sustainable and practical choice that benefits both the environment and your wallet.
Mattresses over their lifespan (which is about 7-10 years) gain an average of 8 lbs. and in some cases can even double in weight. Cleaning your mattress regularly remains important even if you use a mattress cover. While mattress covers mostly protect against spills and stains, they may not fully prevent the accumulation of dust, dead skin cells, and allergens within the mattress. Over time, these particles can still penetrate the cover and create an unhealthy sleeping environment. Regular cleaning helps to remove these contaminants, ensuring that your mattress remains fresh, hygienic, and free from potential allergens that can impact your health and quality of sleep.
