Booking before a homecoming: getting on the schedule

By Matthew Brunken · Updated October 27, 2026 · 1 min read · Editorial standards

Short answer

Call or text as soon as the homecoming date is known, and we'll offer the soonest opening before it. If the date moves, let us know and we'll reschedule. Allow 1–2 hours per mattress, and plan the visit so it isn't on the homecoming day itself.

Before a homecoming

Getting on the schedule

  • Call or text as soon as the date is known
  • Book a day before the homecoming
  • Tell us how to get in if the home is empty
  • If the date moves, we reschedule

Discharge dates are set quickly and sometimes change. Here's how to fit a mattress visit in.

Book early

Call or text (402) 512-5658 as soon as the date is known. We'll offer the soonest opening before the homecoming.

Plan around the date

  • Book a day before the homecoming, not the same day.
  • Allow 1–2 hours per mattress.
  • If someone is in the home, they don't need to do anything; if the home is empty, tell us how to get in.

If the date moves

Discharge dates move. Let us know and we'll reschedule.

Sleep Sanitation's view

This section is our view. Agencies that group visits by area are route-efficiency partners and get reduced agency rates: request agency rates. We carry a certificate of insurance, available on request, and run background checks under our hiring policy, including a national sex offender registry check. Sleep Sanitation serves Omaha, Lincoln and surrounding towns. Every visit includes dry vapor steam with the mattress surface verified at 212°F or higher with a temperature gun, HEPA vacuuming, UV-C light treatment and a moisture check before we leave. Allow 1–2 hours per mattress. Our technician removes the mattress protector during the visit and leaves a one-time supply of special detergent sheets for washing it. Enzyme treatment is used on urine. Every visit ends with a Service Summary, and a copy can go to the agency with the client's or family's permission. The first mattress is $199 Fall 2026 special (regularly $249); additional mattresses in the same visit are $199 for a king or California king, $179 for a full or queen and $149 for a twin or kids bed. Severe soiling carries a surcharge, disclosed before any work starts. Call or text (402) 512-5658, or email info@sleepsanitation.com.
