How can I prolong the life of my mattress?

Buying a new mattress is a significant purchase, so it only makes sense that taking specific actions to extend the life of your mattress is an excellent way to protect your investment and save money. 

Below are just a few tips on how to give your mattress the longest life possible:

1. Use a Mattress Cover - Mattress covers are your final line of defense against messy spills or dust and dirt that invade the fibers of your mattress. Covers are available in a wide variety of both natural and synthetic materials including cotton, polyester, latex, and bamboo. Water resistant and waterproof mattress covers are made from materials like vinyl or plastic.
Mattress covers are the final line of defense against spills and dirt from invading the fibers of a mattress. They also help prevent abrasion on the mattress surface due to body movement.
2. Avoid Leaving Wet Towels on the Mattress - Over time, the mattress became stained and soiled when wet towels or other wet objects are left sitting on it.
3. Check for and Remove Stains Monthly - Closely inspect your mattress each month and remove any stains you find with a safe upholstery / mattress cleaner. Allow the cleansed area to dry completely. Then, using your vacuum cleaner's upholstery attachment, remove any excess or built up dirt from the mattress.
4. Hire a Professional for Mattress Cleaning Schedule - Every household has a unique need for a mattress cleaning schedule. How often your mattress should be professionally cleaned depends on a few factors that are unique to your home, like humidity levels, air quality, and personal lifestyle.

What Your Neighbors Say About Gator Clean

I made the appointment online and was texted very quickly to determine the best date to come out. They arrived as scheduled and quickly quoted my job and got to work. Gator Clean cleaned my carpet and stairs this morning. We had several really dirty spots and pet urine stains. The treatment and cleaning went quickly and when they were done the stains are virtually gone. The floor dried quickly as well. The team was professional and courteous. No high pressure sales or gimmicks. We like the fact that they are conscious about chemicals and safety of humans and pets. We are happy with our choice to use Gator Clean for our carpet cleaning.

Why August Is the Perfect Time for a Deep Tile and Grout Clean

Why August Is the Perfect Time for a Deep Tile and Grout Clean

Did you know that grout—yes, that tiny strip between your tiles—can harbor more bacteria per square inch than your toilet seat?
