Nobody really wants to think about what’s living inside their mattress. But once somebody tells you, you can’t un-know it.
A friend of mine named Sandra over in Willow Glen flipped her mattress one day and noticed this yellowish stain in the middle she couldn’t explain. She’d had the mattress for about four years, kept it covered with a nice fitted sheet, never spilled anything on it. Turns out mattresses absorb sweat, dead skin cells, and body oils every single night. Over time that stuff builds up inside the layers and you’re basically sleeping on top of years worth of it. Sandra was grossed out enough to call us. After we cleaned it she said it smelled totally different, in a good way, and she slept better that week than she had in months.
That’s what gets a lot of people into mattress cleaning. Not marketing. Just finding out what’s actually in there.
At Heavenly Maids Cleaning Services, we do mattress cleaning all across San Jose and the Bay Area. This page will walk you through what we do, why it matters, and what else we offer around your home while we’re at it.
What’s Actually Inside Your Mattress Right Now
The Stuff Nobody Puts on a Mattress Tag
The average person sweats about a cup of fluid per night. Over months and years, that moisture gets absorbed into your mattress. So does dead skin, and dead skin is what dust mites eat. A mattress that’s never been professionally cleaned can have thousands of dust mites living inside it. They’re microscopic so you can’t see them, but if you or anyone in your house deals with allergies, asthma, or wakes up with a stuffy nose, your mattress might be part of the reason.
Then there’s pet dander if you let your dog or cat on the bed. Spills that soaked through the sheet. Baby accidents if you’ve got little ones. All of it goes into the mattress and just sits there because regular washing only gets the sheet, not what’s underneath.
We work with families all over San Jose, in neighborhoods like Evergreen, Almaden Valley, Berryessa, Silver Creek, and East San Jose. A lot of parents call us after a kid gets sick or after potty training because they want a genuinely clean surface for their child to sleep on. Makes total sense.
How Mattress Cleaning Actually Works
It’s Not Just Vacuuming
A lot of people think mattress cleaning is just running a vacuum over it. What we do goes a lot further than that. We use hot water extraction combined with specialized cleaning solutions that are safe for fabric and safe for people, including kids and people with sensitivities.
The process pulls out dirt, allergens, bacteria, and moisture that built up deep inside the mattress layers. We also treat stains and odors directly. Urine stains, sweat stains, mystery stains, we’ve seen all of it and we don’t judge. We just clean it.
The mattress dries within a few hours depending on airflow in the room. We always recommend opening a window or running a fan after we’re done to help speed that up.
How Often Should You Actually Clean Your Mattress
More Often Than Most People Do
Most people never clean their mattress, not once, in the entire time they own it. Cleaning it once a year is a reasonable goal for most households. If you have allergies, asthma, pets, or young kids, twice a year is better.
A lot of our customers in Cambrian Park and Blossom Hill started doing annual mattress cleaning after one of their family members had allergy problems that wouldn’t go away no matter what they tried. Turns out the mattress was a big part of it. Once they got it cleaned regularly, things got better.
If you’re moving into a new place and the mattress came with it, getting it cleaned before you sleep on it is just smart. You don’t know what happened on that thing.
We Do a Lot More Than Just Mattresses
Air Duct Cleaning Service San Jose
Your air ducts push air through every room in your house. They also push around whatever built up inside them over the years, dust, mold, pet dander, pollen, all of it circulating every time the heat or AC kicks on. A lot of people with allergy problems get their mattress cleaned and their air ducts cleaned at the same time because both of them contribute to indoor air quality in a big way. We clean air ducts for homes and commercial buildings all across San Jose. If your system hasn’t been looked at in a few years, it’s probably overdue.
Carpet Cleaning Service San Jose
Carpets and mattresses have a lot in common. They both look okay on the surface while holding onto a lot of stuff underneath. Dust, bacteria, pet accidents, tracked-in dirt from outside, it all settles at the base of the fibers and stays there. We use hot water extraction on carpets the same way we do on mattresses. It pulls that buildup out from deep in the fibers instead of just cleaning the top layer. We do this for homes throughout San Jose including Rose Garden, Willow Glen, and Downtown, and we handle commercial carpets too.
Dryer Vent Cleaning Service San Jose
Lint builds up in dryer vents over time and it becomes a fire hazard. The U.S. Fire Administration tracks thousands of dryer fires every year and clogged vents are one of the main causes. Your dryer also works harder and uses more electricity when the vent is blocked, so your utility bill goes up too. If your dryer is taking two cycles to dry one load, that’s usually a sign the vent needs cleaning. We take care of it for homeowners all over San Jose and it usually takes about an hour.
Gutter Cleaning Service San Jose
When gutters fill up with leaves and debris, water has nowhere to go and it overflows onto your roof, siding, and foundation. We see this a lot in tree-heavy neighborhoods like Almaden Valley and parts of Willow Glen. Most homeowners do gutter cleaning once or twice a year, fall being the big one after leaves drop. We clean gutters for single-family homes and multi-unit properties. It’s one of those maintenance things that’s easy to forget until you start seeing water damage.
Pressure Washing Service San Jose
Driveways, patios, sidewalks, fences, and building exteriors all collect grime over time. Pressure washing is one of the fastest ways to make the outside of your home look a lot better without doing any major work. We serve homeowners and commercial property owners across San Jose. A lot of people get it done before listing a home for sale because the curb appeal difference is pretty dramatic. Others just do it once a year to keep things looking clean.
Upholstery Cleaning Service San Jose
Your couch gets the same treatment as your mattress honestly. Fabric holds onto sweat, pet hair, food crumbs, and odors that build up over time. We clean sofas, loveseats, chairs, ottomans, and dining chair cushions for homes all around San Jose. A lot of people are surprised how different their furniture looks and smells after a proper cleaning. My neighbor almost bought a new sectional before she had hers cleaned and realized it was perfectly fine underneath all that buildup.
Window Cleaning Service San Jose
Clean windows let in more natural light and just make a space feel better. Streaks, water spots, and dust build up on both the inside and outside over time and you stop noticing it until you clean one pane and compare it to the rest. We do interior and exterior window cleaning for homes and commercial buildings throughout San Jose. Office buildings especially benefit from regular window cleaning because it affects how the space looks from the street and how it feels inside.
Who We Help Around San Jose
We work with homeowners doing one-time or regular cleaning, landlords turning over rental units, parents who want a clean sleep environment for their kids, people dealing with allergies or asthma, and property managers who need reliable service across multiple units. We serve all of San Jose including Evergreen, Almaden, Berryessa, Silver Creek, Cambrian, Blossom Hill, Willow Glen, Rose Garden, and surrounding Bay Area cities.
