Breathe Easier, Sleep Better: The Truth About Mattress Cleaning
When was the last time you had your mattress professionally cleaned? If you’re like most people, the answer is never—and that could be affecting more than just your sleep. At Tru-Clean Surface Care, we believe a clean mattress is key to a healthy, restful home. Let’s pull back the sheets and uncover why mattress cleaning isn’t just about stains—it’s about your health, air quality, and peace of mind.
Why Mattress Cleaning Matters
Your mattress is where you spend nearly one-third of your life. But while you sleep, your mattress collects sweat, oils, allergens, dust mites, dead skin cells, and more. It’s a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi, which can contribute to poor sleep and even affect your overall health. Regular cleaning ensures that you’re not unknowingly sharing your bed with unwanted guests.
What’s Hiding in Your Mattress?
You can’t see them, but your mattress likely hosts:
- Millions of dust mites
- Pet dander and pollen
- Body oils and sweat
- Bacteria and mold spores
- Stains from spills or accidents
That’s not just gross—it can be dangerous for people with allergies, asthma, or sensitive immune systems.
Pro’s Note: Many mattress covers do not work as claimed and still harbor moisture, dust mites, and other contaminants between the inside of the mattress cover and mattress!
How Dirty Mattresses Affect Sleep and Health
Ever wake up with a stuffy nose, itchy eyes, or sneezing fits? Your mattress could be to blame. The allergens trapped in bedding and mattresses are released into the air every time you move, impacting indoor air quality. Plus, exposure to bacteria, mold, and dust mites can disturb your sleep, weaken your immune system, and exacerbate skin conditions.
The Tru-Clean Surface Care Mattress Cleaning Process
At Tru-Clean Surface Care, we use a multi-step, professional-grade mattress cleaning process that goes far beyond what DIY methods can achieve:
- We start by power vacuuming to lift loose dust, skin cells, and mites.
- Pre-treatment of stains for effective spot removal.
- Application of allergen-free emulsifier to break down deep-seated dirt, oils, dust mites, and allergens.
- Agitation and exhaustive steam cleaning to sanitize without harsh chemicals.
- pH-conditioned rinse to neutralize residue and leave your mattress fresh.
If necessary, enzyme treatment can be used on urine to eliminate bacteria and odor.
Targeting Allergens, Dust Mites & Pet Dander
Our process doesn’t just clean—it targets the root causes of allergies. The emulsifiers we use are specifically formulated to eliminate dust mites, lift pet dander, and neutralize pollen. This deep cleaning leads to clearer sinuses, fewer allergy symptoms, and better sleep.
Eliminating Sweat, Body Oils, and Stains on Mattresses
We all sweat at night. Over time, this moisture—combined with body oils—seeps into the mattress. These fluids create the perfect environment for bacteria and fungi to thrive. Our high-heat steam cleaning sanitizes the mattress, removing these contaminants and leaving it clean, fresh, and safe.
What Happens If There’s Urine in the Mattress?
Accidents happen—especially in homes with kids, pets, or older adults. If urine is present, we apply a live enzyme treatment that breaks down the uric acid salts and odor-causing bacteria. We allow proper dwell time to ensure the treatment works at a molecular level and then proceed with our deep cleaning steps.
Improving Indoor Air Quality in the Bedroom
While most people focus on air purifiers, your mattress could actually be the biggest polluter in your bedroom. Each movement you make at night stirs up dust particles, dust mites, and allergens. After a Tru-Clean Surface Care professional mattress cleaning, many clients report easier breathing, better rest, and fewer allergy symptoms—all from cleaning what you sleep on.

Whether you’re living with asthma, caring for a newborn, or want to reduce allergens in your home, professional mattress cleaning can make a noticeable difference.
