What You Really Need Is:

A simple vacuuming will do nothing to get rid of these tiny pests. Hygiene and allergy problems can only be solved by eradicating the cause. Don't despair, All Carpets has developed a natural, organic, chemical-free process that effectively destroys dust mites, bacteria, spores, allergens, dust, and decaying skin cells.

We first loosen the particles of dirt, dust and excrement embedded within your mattress with high frequency waves. The waste is then removed with a special high powered vacuum specifically designed to trap 99.97% of everything it collects. The mattress is then sterilised with a chemical free disinfectant. This process kills all viruses, spores and bacteria within the mattress. Afterwards, we apply an all natural hygienic mattress spray which is anti-bacterial and an insect repellent.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I vacuum my own mattress?

Most standard household vacuums are designed primarily for use on carpets and therefore the stiff bristles embedded in the rotating brush may cause serious damage to the mattress surface as well as other upholstered items. Traditional household or commercial vacuums do not have the extraction power to remove harmful debris such as highly resilient dust mites, bacteria, allergy triggering contaminants that are deeply embedded in the mattress. Also it is important to use a germ killing UV-C Germicidal lamp, it's the key to effective disinfection and sterilisation.

How long does it take to service the mattress?

The time taken to clean all depends upon the size of the mattress and how dirty or stained the mattress is. A king-sized mattress takes approximately 25-45 minutes and a queen-sized mattress takes around 20-40 minutes but this is rough estimate so you can get somewhat of an idea.

Will the process of sanitising a mattress or upholstered item be messy?

The cleaning process is completely green and environmentally friendly. There are no liquids or nasty chemicals used in the sanitation process and beds can be remade 3-6 hours after the service is completed. Since there are no chemicals or perfumes used, it is not necessary to air out the room. However it is recommended to do so to assist with the drying time of the mattress.

If you don't, all you are doing is incubating the contaminants that are already present.
