The Science Behind Mattress Cleaning

Washing bed sheets and pillowcases are not simple 5-minute housework, but cleaning a mattress is on a whole other level. While bed sheets and pillowcases can be washed in the washing machine, mattresses cannot.

Picture with title "The Science Behind Mattress Cleaning"You would need special equipment or tools to be able to thoroughly wash your mattress. Despite the difficulty of cleaning your mattress, the need to clean it is more important than you think. Accumulated dust, dirt particles and skin flakes all lead to the accumulation of indoor allergens. Knowing that, here’s an inside look into how the professional De Hygienique mattress cleaning specialists do it!

Pulverization

Firstly, the mattress cleaning system pulverises embedded dirt that is clumped up in the mattress. This is done by vibrating the bigger clumps of dirt into smaller particles to make them easier to remove.

Extraction

After pulverization, the smaller particles would be extracted into a tightly woven high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) bag, which safely traps and collects the unhygienic dirt and dust. This process is called the extraction process.

Simultaneously, the mattress will be sanitized using an in-built UV-C light. This light was designed specifically for mattress disinfection. This sanitisation process eliminates the bacteria and other microorganisms like house dust mites in your mattress.

Double Sanitisation

Lastly, the mattress goes through another round of sanitisation, whereby a chemical safe solution is used. This solution not only kills bacteria, but it also helps delay the re-infestation of dust mites in the mattress, making sure your mattress stays hygienic for longer period.
