Get matched with top carpet cleaners in Paullina, IA

You can clean some mattresses with a carpet cleaner that has an upholstery attachment. Mattresses made out of memory foam or other foam generally should not be cleaned with a carpet cleaner, although many traditional spring mattresses can be cleaned this way. Consult the manufacturer’s instructions to be sure. If you do use a carpet cleaner, be aware that it will take much longer to fully dry and be careful not to oversaturate the mattress.

• Stain removal: $10–$50 per stain

• Anti-odor treatment: $15–$75 per rug

• Stain protection: $1.50–$2.50 per square foot

• Moth protection: $1–$2 per square foot

• Wool treatment: $1–$2 per square foot

• Antimicrobial disinfectant: $2–$3 per square foot

Yes. Steam cleaning is one of the most effective ways to clean a mattress because the heat from the steam can kill dust mites and bed bugs. Using steam that is at least 212 degrees F can also disinfect the material.

In most cases, a professional upholstery cleaner will take 30 minutes and one hour to clean a single piece of furniture. Small, isolated stains could take less time, while heavily soiled couches could take up to three hours. If you have an antique piece of furniture, it might take a few hours to clean as well, as your professional needs to take greater care to make sure they don’t damage the delicate material. In any case, your expert should be able to give you an estimate for the cleaning timeline before they get started.
