Kids' Mattresses

How often to clean kids' mattresses

By Matthew Brunken · Updated October 24, 2026 · 1 min read · Editorial standards

Short answer

Wash kids' sheets weekly, vacuum the mattress when you change them, and have every kids' mattress professionally cleaned twice a year. Add a cleaning after an accident that soaks in, a stomach bug, a move, a hand-me-down, or the switch from crib to big-kid bed. The 60-second quiz will tell you what each bed needs.

A whole-house reset for the kids' beds

This section is our view. Kids' beds see the most spills, accidents and late-night messes in the house, so we clean them together in one visit. Every Sleep Sanitation visit starts with an inspection, then HEPA vacuuming, enzyme treatment on organic stains and odor, low-moisture dry vapor steam from our Italian-made Vapor Clean machines, UV-C light treatment and a moisture check before we leave. Normal accidents, stains and pet odor are included. The first mattress is $199 Fall 2026 special (regularly $249), any size, and each additional kids' bed in the same visit is $149. Underside treatment is +$50–$75. We recommend cleaning every mattress twice a year. Take the 60-second mattress quiz or schedule your cleaning. Call or text (402) 512-5658, or email info@sleepsanitation.com.
