Allergies make life hard enough, so why make things more complicated by having a mattress filled with dust mites, dander, and other allergens? Cleaning your mattress with anti dust mite solutions helps to improve your quality of life and general wellness.
At WonderKlean, we understand the importance of a thorough and professional mattress cleaning for allergy sufferers. Our years of expertise and experience in improving the quality of life for individuals who are affected by allergies is guaranteed with our mattress cleaning services.
In this post, we’ll share tips and tricks on how to clean your mattress, such as regular maintenance and deep cleaning.
But first, let’s understand how allergies and beds are linked.
Understanding Allergies and Mattresses
An allergy is an immune system reaction to mildly harmless substances, such as dust mites and dander.
An allergen is an environmental trigger that causes the reaction. Allergens settle in mattresses, carpets or furniture, and other places. A few examples of common allergens occurring in beds are:
Dust mites
Bed bug bites
Pollen
Insect droppings
Dust mites are the most common allergen found in mattresses, but all of these can cause reactions. Sensitivities to allergens vary from person to person, so it helps to be aware of which triggers your allergies. With knowledge, you can take steps to reduce exposure.
Bed Bug Allergy
Bed bugs are tiny insects that feed on human and animal blood. Bed bug bites can cause an itchy rash and allergic reactions. Reactions from bites are often mistaken for other skin allergies because their bites resemble rashes caused by dust mites or dermatitis.
Bed bug bites are painful, and bed bugs especially like hiding in the nooks and crannies on your mattress. If you wake up with bites, you must check for bed bugs immediately. Also get checked for bed bug allergies at your local clinic if you experience typical allergic reactions or severe skin reactions.
The most common signs of a bed bug infestation include:
Musty smelling odour
If you suspect a bed bug infestation, hire a professional exterminator to help you get rid of the pests.
Keeping your mattress clean can help reduce exposure to these allergens and improve your overall health and well-being.
Regular cleaning is needed, but hiring professional mattress cleaning services once in a while is recommended.
Tips for Deep Mattress Cleaning
There are two types of mattress cleaning to keep your bed clean: regular maintenance and deep cleaning.
Regularly maintaining your mattress using a vacuum cleaner once or twice a week to remove dust mites, pet dander, and other allergens from the mattress is one of the easiest ways to prolong the lifespan of your mattress.
But for deep cleaning, you must hire professional mattress cleaners who make use of specialised products and techniques.
Deep cleaning usually involves the following steps:
1. Dry Cleaning
This first step in the deep cleaning process focuses on purging existing dust mites, bed bugs and dust particles. A specialised vacuum is needed to remove the allergen-inducing elements stuck in your mattress including dead skin, mites and other dry elements.
This is a key step before hydro-cleaning so that when you arrive at the next area, the dust and dirt don’t soak into the mattress and make matters worse.
2. Hydro Cleaning (H2O Storm Cleaning)
Hydro cleaning provides another level of deep cleaning for your mattress. It’s meant to get rid of hard-to-remove elements that could cause sicknesses or create a breeding ground for bacteria to grow. These can include urine, mould, food stains and more.
WonderKlean’s H2O Storm Cleaning method uses a mix of hot water and biodegradable cleaning agents which are injected deep into the mattress using a special cleaning tool. This process allows us to remove dirt, bacteria, odours, and other pollutants from deep within your mattress.
3. Thorough Vacuuming
The next step in the deep cleaning process is thorough vacuuming. A powerful vacuum cleaner is needed to remove residual dust, dirt, and allergen particles from your mattress.
For example, WonderKlean’s Anti-gravity Cyclone Trap is designed specifically to capture small, fine particles such as animal fur, pollen and pet dander that may be lodged in the mattress fibers.
This advanced technology helps ensure that your mattress is as clean as possible and free of allergens. It also helps to dry up any excess moisture from the Hydro Cleaning process.
4. Repellent Spraying
At this last stage, a mattress cleaning spray is required to eliminate remaining allergens on the surface of your mattress. The spray should contain anti-dust mite, anti-bacterial, and odour-neutralising ingredients to effectively kill and remove dust mites from your mattress.
From a smell to a pleasant scent, a good mattress cleaning spray should leave no trace of odour and help prevent the buildup of allergens.
WonderKlean’s mattress cleaning spray is made of non-toxic ingredients and helps to prevent future pest invasion. The repellent spray helps to keep these pests away while providing a pleasant scent to your mattress.
Additional Tips for Allergy Relief
To further prolong your mattress, you could also consider some lifestyle changes. Here are some additional tips to help reduce exposure to allergens:
- Change bedding regularly and wash your bed sheets in hot water
- Use hypoallergenic pillows and mattress covers
- Vacuum the mattress often
- Avoid allowing pets, smoking, and dust in the bedroom
- Avoid consuming food on your bed
- Use a disinfectant mattress cleaning spray
