Should I clean my mattress or carpet first in Nairobi?
When booking multiple cleaning services for a bedroom, the order matters for best results. Here is the recommended sequence and why.
Recommended Cleaning Order: Mattress Before Carpet
- Start with the mattress — HEPA vacuuming and steam cleaning the mattress first releases dust mite particles and allergens downward. These will settle on the floor and carpet below.
- Then clean the carpet — Carpet extraction afterward captures all the dust and allergens that fell from the mattress, preventing them from being disturbed again once the room is in use.
Why This Order Matters
If you clean the carpet first and then the mattress, you simply redistribute settled particles back onto a freshly cleaned carpet. The correct sequence ensures the floor captures and retains allergens removed from the mattress.
Full Bedroom Allergen-Control Order
- Curtains — vacuum or dry clean to release settled dust
- Ceiling fan and light fittings — wipe down so dust falls
- Mattress — HEPA vacuum and steam clean
- Upholstered headboard and bedside furniture — wipe down
- Carpet — HEPA vacuum then hot water extraction
