How to Clean Hotel Mattresses

Vacuum the mattress. Be sure to get both surfaces by flipping it over and vacuuming the other side. Use attachment tools to get in the cracks, crevices and sides. This will help to remove dust mites, dead skin cells and many other allergens that the bed may have accumulated from numerous guests.

Apply an upholstery shampoo to the mattress. In medium circles, scrub the entire bed. Do the same to the opposite side as well as the sides of the mattress. If there is a stain, allow the upholstery shampoo to sit on the stain for at least 10 minutes and then scrub. Baking soda also works to remove stains and odors.

Allow the mattress to dry by standing it upright against the hotel wall. Leave it in this position until it is completely dry on both sides.

Vacuum the box springs.

Replace the mattress on the bed only when it is completely dry.

Spray the mattress with a disinfectant spray. This helps to remove any viruses and bacteria that guests may have left behind.
