The short answer

Professional mattress cleaning in Australia typically costs about $80–$200 for a queen, depending on the method, add-ons and minimum call-out fees. At Mattress Rescue in Adelaide a queen is $119, a single $79 and a king $139, with urine, dust mite and sanitising treatments from $30–$40 each and a $119 minimum booking.

Typical prices by size

Most cleaners price per mattress by size. Our Adelaide prices, for one side cleaned:

Every extra mattress in the same visit is 10% off, and the minimum booking is $119.

Add-ons and what they are for

The fine print to check

The cheapest advertised price is not always the cheapest job. When comparing quotes, ask three questions. Is there a minimum call-out fee, and how much? Some services advertise a queen for under $80 but will not come out for less than $115. Are stains included, or priced after inspection? And is that price for one side or both? A quote that answers all three in writing is worth more than a low headline number.

Cleaning vs a new mattress

A decent new queen mattress costs several hundred to a few thousand dollars, and a mattress that is still supportive can have years of life left. If yours is structurally sound — no deep sagging, no broken springs — and the problem is stains, smell or allergens, cleaning costs a fraction of replacing it. If it is sagging and you wake up sore, cleaning will not fix that; see our guide on when to clean or replace.

Is DIY cheaper?

Hiring a carpet machine for a day costs roughly the same as a professional single-mattress clean once you add the solution, and most hire machines put in more water than they take out — the fastest route to a damp, musty mattress. For a light freshen-up, a vacuum, bicarbonate of soda and sunlight will do. For urine, set-in stains or allergy problems, professional extraction is the better value.
