Cot and Child Mattresses: What Cleaning Removes

A child spends more hours on their mattress than anywhere else in the home, and almost nobody cleans the side facing away from them.

What matters, and why.

Both faces

Vacuumed on both sides and around the piping before any treatment. The underside carries a comparable load to the top.

Extraction with controlled moisture

Hot-water extraction removes what vacuuming lifts and drops again, followed by air movers until the core is dry — not just the surface.

Stains by type

Protein stains need enzyme treatment and cool water. Heat sets them permanently, which is why home attempts with hot water usually make things worse.

Waterproof protectors

A washable protector between mattress and sheet is the single most effective habit, and it makes every future clean easier.
