We do much more than just clean visible dirt. Steam cleaning is a very friendly and very effective method that consists of water and heat, killing 99% of bacteria, dust mites, viruses and other pathogens on contact. This results in better health for all, free of allergens
Did you know you spend a third of your life on your mattress? That means every night your mattress and pillows collect about 300 000 dead skin cells. These skin cells become a breeding ground for bacteria on your mattress and pillows. Your mattress is something you should be cleaning at least once every 3 months. Fitting a bedsheet on your mattress does not mean you sleeping on a clean mattress. At night you sweat, and drool, these things seep into your sheets and mattress, causing allergens, bed bugs, dust mites, dead skin cells, and bad odour caused by sweat. The most effective route to getting your mattress cleaned the proper way is by having it steam cleaned. Steam cleaning is about using this technology to remove allergens, dust mites, dead skin cells, and bad smells. This helps you to sleep better when your mattress is fresh and clean.

Steam cleaning is incredibly effective for mattresses because the high-temperature steam (150°C - 180°C) penetrates deep into fabric fibers. This intense heat effectively kills dust mites, bacteria, and breaks down dirt and stains, leaving your upholstery sanitized and fresh without harsh chemicals. drying time is much more faster due to wet steaming rather than the older method of water extraction or even hot water extraction.
It is recommended to get your mattress professionally cleaned every 6-12 months is a good general guideline, consider increasing the frequency to every 6 months or even more often if you have pets, allergies. Regular vacuuming between deep steam cleans will also help maintain your mattress freshness.
Steaming at temperatures between 150°C - 180°C is the perfect way to eliminate dust mites and bacteria while also breaking down stains and dirt. It's also a safe and environmentally friendly method of cleaning, too, because it is simply water and heat.
The World Health Organization (WHO) Trusted Source notes that bacteria are rapidly killed at temperatures above 149°F (65°C). This temperature is below that of boiling water or even a simmer.
Our industrial hot water and steam cleaner reaches up to 180°C with up to 10 bars of pressure.
Our advanced steam cleaning method heats water to boiling temperatures, creating a powerful combination of hot vapor and minimal boiling water. This "wet steam" is simultaneously sprayed and extracted, providing an exceptionally deep clean that rinses away dirt and breaks down stains.
Unlike traditional hot water extraction, which often introduces excessive use of water required that saturates fabric and padding – potentially leading to prolonged drying times, dampness, and mold buildup – our approach is fundamentally different. It's important to note that typical household hot water, like that from a kettle, starts at 100°C but cools significantly by the time its applied to a cleaning equipment to apply to your mattress.
Our specialized equipment, however, continuously maintains water at precise, high temperatures of 150 - 180 degrees directly applied to your mattress and effectively cleaning at its best using wet steam (minimum boiling water mixed with steam), ensuring an effective, deep clean that's also carefully controlled to prevent over-wetting.
Typically, upholstery requires 6-8 hours to dry after steam cleaning, though this can vary. Factors such as air circulation, humidity levels, and the ambient temperature in your home can influence the drying time. Although the minim amount of water was used through wet steam, your upholstery will feel slightly damp to the touch immediately after the cleaning process
Just a heads-up: The dirtier your upholstery is, the more effort we'll put into getting them sparkling clean! That means a bit more attention and a longer drying time, but it's all for the best results. This is also why sticking to those recommended cleaning intervals really helps.
