💰 Ways to save
- A minimum call-out applies, so clean every mattress in the house in the one visit, or pair it with a carpet or upholstery clean — splitting the call-out across several items is where the saving is.
- Only pay for the dust-mite / anti-allergen add-on if someone in the home actually has asthma, eczema or hay fever; for everyone else it's mostly margin.
How we estimate this
Professional mattress steam cleaning in 2026 is priced by size: a single is roughly $80–$120, a double $100–$150, a queen $120–$180 and a king $150–$220. Stain treatment and a dust-mite or anti-allergen sanitise push the figure up, and full premium packages (deep stain work plus anti-allergen plus a fabric protector) can reach $180–$350. Because a minimum call-out applies, doing several mattresses at once is far better value per bed.

What a mattress cleaning costs in Melbourne
Mattress cleaning in Melbourne is the usual steam or hot-water extraction to lift dust mites, sweat and stains, and the local wildcard is drying time. The cold, damp winters mean a steam-cleaned mattress can take a long time to dry, raising the risk of mustiness or mould if a bedroom is poorly ventilated, so cleaners lean on low-moisture methods and strong air movement over the colder months, while summer extraction dries fine.
The city has a deep pool of cleaners, so a planned job is genuinely competitive if you get a couple of quotes, and the steady rental market keeps between-tenant and end-of-lease mattress cleans a regular part of the trade. Dust-mite allergen treatment is a common reason Melbourne households book the job, given time spent indoors over the long winters. The method and the season, as much as the mattress size, are what shape a winter quote here.

Frequently asked questions
How much does mattress cleaning cost?
In 2026, roughly $80–$120 for a single, $100–$150 a double, $120–$180 a queen and $150–$220 a king. Stain treatment and anti-allergen sanitising add to that.
Will steam cleaning remove old stains?
Not always. Reputable cleaners quote stain treatment rather than guaranteed removal, because set-in urine, blood and sweat marks are often impossible to lift completely. Be cautious of anyone promising a stain will disappear.
Is professional mattress cleaning worth it?
For allergy, asthma or eczema sufferers the dust-mite removal is genuinely valuable, and it's worth doing before resale or guests. Just confirm proper hot-water extraction and a sensible dry time so the mattress doesn't end up damp.
