A professional mattress clean takes out what a vacuum and a sheet change leave behind: dust mites and their droppings, dead skin, sweat and body oils that have soaked into the foam, and the stains and odours that go with them. The technician inspects the mattress, vacuums it, pre-treats the marks, extracts the soil with hot water, then sanitises and deodorises it, in your bedroom, in about an hour.
The payoff is sleep hygiene rather than a scented bed: fewer allergens on the surface you spend a third of your life on. A mattress that is a few years old, sleeps a child, a pet or an allergy sufferer, or has had a spill, is the one to book.
“I have used Elite many times and will always go back. Very very happy with the quick customer service and friendly staff every time. After having 3 kids on the couch with food etc, our white leather couch looks brand new. Carpets all freshly cleaned and mattresses done also. Thank you again 😊”

The technicians are very professional, knowledgeable, patient and friendly. I will definitely use them again and recommend Elite to my friends. Very satisfied!”
Inspection. The technician checks the fabric, the stains and the smell, and names the method before starting.
Dry vacuum. A thorough vacuum lifts the loose dust, skin and mite debris from the surface and the seams.
Pre-treatment. Stains and the areas where sweat and oils build up are treated so they lift rather than spread.
Hot water extraction. Solution is worked into the fabric and drawn back out with the soil, which is what reaches below the surface.
Sanitise and deodorise. The mattress is treated and left damp, not wet.
The bed is sleepable again the same day. Drying time depends on the mattress and the weather, and the technician gives you a time before leaving; stripping the bed and opening a window brings it down.
Prices per mattress
A standard clean covers the top and the sides. A single is $90, a double $110, a queen $145 and a king $155. A double-sided clean, for a mattress that is flipped or has marks on both faces, is $140 for a single, $170 for a double, $195 for a queen and $215 for a king. An ensemble base of any size is an extra $30 while the technician is there. The size and whether both sides need doing are what move the total, so measure the bed and you have a close figure before you call.

Mattress cleaning questions
How often should a mattress be professionally cleaned?
Once a year suits most beds. A child’s bed, a bed a pet sleeps on, or an allergy sufferer’s bed is worth doing every six months, and any mattress after a spill or an illness.
How long until the mattress is dry enough to sleep on?
The same day. The technician leaves it damp rather than wet and tells you the drying time; airflow through the room shortens it.
Which mattress types can and can’t be cleaned?
Spring, foam, pillow-top and latex mattresses are all cleaned this way. The technician checks the fabric at the inspection and tells you if a particular mattress should be treated differently.
What does a clean remove, and what about dust mites?
Dust mites and their droppings, dead skin, sweat and body oils, and the odours they cause. The vacuum takes the surface load and the extraction takes what has settled below it.
Can you treat urine, sweat and spill stains?
Yes. They are pre-treated before the extraction, and the sanitise and deodorise step deals with the smell as well as the mark. Point them out at the inspection.
What does it cost by size?
From $90 for a single, $110 for a double, $145 for a queen and $155 for a king, top and sides. Double-sided is $140 to $215 by size, and an ensemble base is $30.
