What does it cost to have a topper cover cleaned?

The topper of your box spring bed is the mattress pad on which you lie. It is inevitable that over time, the covers will become soiled. The cost of cleaning at a laundromat ranges from €30 to €80.

In our guide, you will learn how to generally best remove stains from the top mattresses! We provide you with the information you need.

When should you take the topper to the cleaners?

Even if your topper does not have a removable fabric cover and you cannot put the material in the washing machine due to the washing instructions, you should have your topper professionally cleaned by a cleaning team at a laundromat every few months.

The manufacturer's care label precisely explains how and at what washing temperature you are allowed to clean it. Additionally, use only suitable cleaning agents. Laundromats are equipped with the right machines and dryers, as well as detergents, to remove stubborn dirt and the occasional stain. By doing this, you extend the lifespan of your mattress.

Generally, you can expect cleaning costs for a topper to be between 30 euros and 80 euros in most cases. The costs are worthwhile, as this ensures hygiene and a comfortable sleeping experience in your box spring bed, completely free of germs, mites, and stains.

Not only that: Unpleasant odors and stains in one place or another disappear after a wash cycle, and a delightful fragrance fills the bedroom. A washing cycle thus has a significant effect after drying. Enjoy the comfort and freshness after the treatment!

Note: The costs for cleaning a topper or mattress depend on the prices of the respective laundromat. Additionally, it depends on whether you are only having the mattress covers cleaned or the entire topper. The size of the topper also plays a role. 

Why you should clean your topper regularly

Body heat and sweat, along with high temperatures in the bedroom, cause moisture to penetrate the bedding and the topper. This moisture accumulates there and sometimes even reaches the core through the topper cover.

This makes the topper an ideal breeding ground for mold and bacteria. Mites also thrive in high temperatures and humid environments.

To keep your topper clean and dry, you should air it out every few weeks by removing it from the bed by hand and standing it up. This way, you provide air to both sides of the topper. 

Even if no heavy soiling is visible, regular washing of the topper is essential for sleeping comfort. Especially as an allergy sufferer, you should clean the topper or mattress cover every few weeks.

To prevent dust from settling on the underside, you should also clean the bedroom regularly. If you keep things tidy, the cleaning effort is minimal.

Cleaning Tips - How to Do It!

1. Many modern toppers are equipped with a zipper and are machine washable. This way, the pad does not lose its shape. You can pull the topper away from the foam core and wash it in the washing machine on a gentle cycle, even if it is machine washable. After washing, it is best to let the cover air dry. Once it is completely dry, it goes back on the mattress.
2. To minimize soiling directly on the topper, you should use a mattress protector. However, liquids can still seep through the mattress protector into the foam, resulting in unsightly sweat stains. A tip: When purchasing, make sure that the mattress protector is moisture-resistant.
3. Accidents can quickly result in water, blood, urine, or wine stains on the mattress topper. Such stains are particularly difficult to remove, even with a long wash cycle. If they are still fresh, you might try your luck with baking soda or lemon juice. Otherwise, it is worth taking your topper to a professional cleaner. This ensures a restful sleep while the cleaning service takes care of your health with the appropriate washing program.
