Mattress & carpet cleaning – must-dos!

JADY WONG, founder of professional cleaning provider Be Mitey Clean, tells us why regular sofa cleaning and mattress cleaning is needed, even when a protector is used. Plus, we find out why households with pets and children should also opt for regular carpet cleaning and curtain cleaning.

Uncovering the unseen for sofa and mattress cleaning

As someone with a sensitive respiratory system and skin that’s triggered by dust, my home is thoroughly cleaned often. Protectors are used on the sofa and all mattresses, and the curtains are changed every three months.

However, while the surface of my sofa and mattress might look clean, they can hide unseen contaminants. Jady tells me that items like mattresses, sofas, carpets and curtains accumulate dust, dust mites, allergens, dead skin, bacteria and more over time.

So, why else does Be Mitey Clean stress that deep sofa cleaning and mattress cleaning are important?

“In Singapore’s humid climate, this buildup happens even faster,” says Jady. “This can contribute to issues like allergies, sinus irritation and poor indoor air quality. Regular deep cleaning helps remove these hidden contaminants, creating a healthier living environment and also extending the lifespan of your furniture.”

Going beneath the surface for mattress and sofa cleaning

Even though protectors are used on my sofa and mattresses, Jady says this isn’t sufficient to fully protect against contaminants that can still build up beneath the surface.

“While toppers and covers help reduce surface dirt and spill, they don’t fully protect against dust mites, sweat, bacteria and allergens that seep through over time,” she says. “Our professional deep mattress cleaning in Singapore and sofa cleaning services target what’s inside the mattress or upholstery. This is something regular washing of covers alone cannot achieve.”

Pulling back the shade in favour of curtain cleaning

Curtains are probably an overlooked item in the cleaning of a home – after all, they always look and feel clean to me! However, they do capture dust, dust mites, animal fur and bacteria.

When it comes to curtain cleaning in Singapore homes, Jady advises against using the washing machine at home, for practical reasons.

“Many curtains are made from delicate fabrics or have linings that can shrink, lose shape or get damaged in a wash. Large and heavy curtains can also strain household machines when wet. In addition, improper washing can lead to uneven curtain cleaning or water stains. Some black-out curtains may even stick together.

“Be Mitey Clean uses professional curtain cleaning methods, such as dry steam cleaning. These are designed to clean and disinfect effectively while preserving the fabric’s quality and structure.”

More regular carpet cleaning when there are pets and children

If there are pets or children at home, the buildup of contaminants can happen faster.

Jady explains, “Homes with pets and children tend to accumulate dirt, fur, dander, spills and bacteria more quickly. Pets can introduce additional allergens, while young children often have closer contact with surfaces like mattresses, sofas and carpets.”

I may not have pets or young children at home anymore, but what Jady says makes sense. Think about it – your pet rests on the carpet, sits by the sofa and sleeps on your bed. Pet saliva, fur, dander and dirt collect on all these surfaces. Then your child rolls around on the same carpet, sits on the same sofa and lays on the same bed. In the process, they become exposed to whatever your pet has left behind, while also contributing to the buildup of dirt.

For families with pets or children, Be Mitey Clean recommends deep carpet cleaning, sofa cleaning, mattress cleaning and curtain cleaning every three to six months. This will help to maintain hygiene around the home and ensure a safer, healthier home environment.
