Today more than ever, we have to make sure that our homes are safe and clean. As sanitation has become a priority, more and more Singaporean homes have resorted to professional cleaning services—offloading themselves of the stress of house cleaning by calling for help. It’s understandable, though. Because in between work and childcare, household maintenance can easily become an afterthought.
One of the most sought services these days is professional mattress cleaning. Hiring a mattress cleaner is a good opportunity to remove any accumulated dirt that your regular cleaning routine cannot. It offers a wealth of benefits from improving indoor air quality to removing foul odours, therefore ensuring a good night’s sleep.
All mattress cleaners would claim that they are the best in the business. But, it’s really up to you to decide. Here’s our go-to guide when hiring one.
What to Ask Your Mattress Cleaning Company
- How many years have you been in business?
No two cleaning services are the same. When assessing a prospective mattress cleaner, the first question to ask is their number of years in business. It can tell so much about the quality of service they provide that enabled them to last that long. In many cases, it’s better to hire a mattress cleaning service provider with enough experience and a solid track record of success.
- Do you provide insurance?
While you can try cleaning the mattress yourself, you will not be able to achieve the results like a professional does. But, regardless, there’s a reasonable fear of a botched job, and insurance provides peace of mind that you will be compensated in case of damage to your investment.
One of the essential types of coverage to look for is a general liability which guarantees that your investment is adequately protected. It’s also necessary that you are hiring a competent company with licensed and bonded cleaners.
- What are your fees and what does it cover?
The price and coverage of a mattress cleaning service varies from one business to another. But, in most cases, it entails an inspection and the use of chemical solutions to remove surface stains. Then, the mattress is steamed to kill dust mites and bacteria.
When hiring a mattress cleaner make sure that you understand how much they charge and what it includes. The price usually covers labour and differs based on the mattress size. Sometimes, they also charge a call-out fee.
- How should I prepare for mattress cleaning?
The advantage with hiring a mattress cleaner is that there isn’t much to do to prepare because they handle mostly everything. However, it can be helpful to get your mattress ready to help speed things along. Strip the bed—remove the sheets, pillowcases, and the rest of the covers.
They will also come equipped with products to clean your mattress. However, if you are specific to the products you use in your household—probably due to allergies or preference for green products—you can discuss that with them before your schedule.
- What precautions are you taking during this time?
Many have paused their cleaning services to keep their home safe during the pandemic. But, for some, it’s just not practical to go long periods without help. While you can hire someone to clean your mattress, it will take some effort from both you and your service provider to ensure everyone’s safety.
It’s essential that professional cleaners are equipped and trained to handle infectious diseases. Ask your cleaning company about the precautions they are taking to keep both their clients and customers safe.
You’ll find several mattress cleaning service providers near you, each claiming to be the best there is. Asking these questions will help you narrow down your options and eventually get the one that’s the right fit for your needs.
