Mattress Cleaning
Spiker cleans mattresses starting at $129 for a queen, subject to a $200 minimum service charge on every job. Treatment targets body oil, perspiration residue and allergen load using low-moisture extraction so the mattress dries quickly and completely.

Every job gets pre-vacuumed. The only question is who does it.
Dry soil has to come out before any moisture goes down. Once water hits loose grit it becomes mud in the pile, and no amount of extraction fully recovers it. This step is not optional on any job we run — skipping it is how cheap operators make carpet look worse a week later.
PRE-VACUUM INCLUDED IF YOU DO IT · $25 PER ROOM IF WE DOWhy we will not move your furniture back onto wet carpet.
This is the single most common callback in this trade, and it is entirely avoidable. When a company moves furniture, cleans underneath, and sets it back down on damp carpet, that carpet cannot dry. Foam blocks and plastic tabs do not create enough airflow to fix it — they lift the legs, not the furniture. What follows is mildew, and sometimes mold, trapped under the piece where nobody looks until it smells.
WE CLEAN AROUND FURNITURE · MOVING IT BACK ONTO WET CARPET CAUSES MILDEWWhat actually matters
You spend roughly a third of your life on this surface and it is the one thing in the house that never gets cleaned. A mattress accumulates body oil, perspiration, skin cells and everything that feeds dust mites, and no amount of washing the sheets reaches any of it.
This is the service that matters most in a house with allergies or asthma. Dust mite allergen is a genuine, measurable trigger, and the mattress is the single largest reservoir of it in most bedrooms. People who react at night and feel better during the day are often reacting to where they sleep.
Moisture control is the entire technical challenge. A mattress cannot be saturated — a wet core will not dry properly and creates a far worse problem than the one you started with. We use low-moisture extraction with strong vacuum recovery and set up airflow, so the mattress is usable the same day.
How we do it.
Same four phases, every job.
Inspect
We walk the job with you before anything gets wet. Fiber identification matters more than most people realize — a burn test or a close look at the pile tells us whether we are dealing with nylon, polyester, olefin or wool, and each one takes a different chemistry. We find the traffic lanes, the filtration lines along baseboards, the spots you have already tried to treat, and we tell you honestly which ones will come out and which ones will not. A stain that has been sitting in a jute backing for two years is a different conversation than last week’s coffee, and you deserve to hear that before we start rather than after.
Pre-treat
Pre-spray goes down matched to what we found in the inspection, and then it sits. Dwell time is the step cheap jobs skip because it looks like nothing is happening, and it is the step that does most of the work. Chemistry needs contact time to break the bond between soil and fiber. Spray and immediately extract and you are just rinsing the surface. On heavy traffic lanes we agitate with a groomer to drive solution down to the base of the pile where the soil actually lives.
Clean
The machine stays in the truck. That is not a detail — a truck-mount produces heat and vacuum that no portable unit can approach, and vacuum is what determines whether soil leaves the building or settles back into the fiber as it dries. We work in overlapping passes with dry strokes between wet ones. Hot water extraction is the method the Carpet and Rug Institute and most major carpet manufacturers publish, and for most carpet it is the method required to keep the warranty valid.
Protect
We groom the pile so it dries standing up instead of matted flat, set up airflow, and apply protector where it makes sense for the fiber. Then we walk it with you and tell you the truth about the next twenty-four hours — what will look different when it dries, what might wick back and need a second pass, and how long to stay off it. Most callbacks in this trade are not cleaning failures. They are expectation failures.
Mattress Cleaning questions
we actually get asked.
From $129 for a queen, priced by size. Every job is subject to a $200 minimum service charge, so a single mattress on its own does not meet the minimum — most customers add it to a carpet or upholstery visit.
If anyone in the house has allergies or asthma, yes. Dust mite allergen is a real measurable trigger and the mattress is usually the largest reservoir in the bedroom. If nobody has symptoms it is more about freshness than health.
No. Low-moisture extraction with strong vacuum recovery, plus airflow afterward. Saturating a mattress core creates a worse problem than the one you are solving, so moisture control is the whole technique.
Usually the same day. We set up airflow before we leave and tell you exactly how long to wait based on the conditions in the room.
