I have been cleaning carpets and upholstery on and off since the mid 70's, but to this time I have avoided mattresses. For some reason I have been getting quite a few inquires of late and have lost some jobs for other work that I would have gotten if I did mattresses. So I am ready to take the plunge and want to know how mattresses differ from regular upholstery cleaning and special problems I might encounter or be able to avoid. What is the average dry time? Any help would be welcome.

Clean it like upholstery.

I used 40 vol. on urine and blood stain.

I spray light with uph. Pre spray from cobbs add a dash of brightner and usually rinse with last step. A little degreaser for tougher spots rinsed with last step.

If a kid pissed the bed or a pet, saturate with urine treatment rinse with last step put dry pod to dry.

A small Waterclaw is helpful on the peepee spots


Do not remove any tags for your own good. Mattess police are known to shoot first and ask questions later

Hahahaha!

Shoot first.... Actually they cuff, stuff and flip out over it.

Samiam has it down, but yes use a waterclaw because it will soak all the way through. Charge a fair price for a LOT of work, at least what you charge for a large sofa.

No guarantees on stains, although odors are controllable.
