This was kind of a new request for us.  We’ve never been asked to just clean the odor out of a bed mattress before.  The mattress had been wrapped in storage.  We told the client that it likely had a musty odor due to any amount of moisture that was sealed with the mattress.  Our concern was that if the source of the odor was deep inside the mattress, our ozone gas would not penetrate deep enough into the mattress.  Our technology is great at reaching every square inch of surface area, and although a gas, it cannot be expected to go through walls or layers of a mattress.  With this caveat, we treated the mattress.  The client was quite happy with the results, so it looks like we can add mattresses to our menu of services 🙂

We are often asked to treat bedrooms with body odor issues.  The two main odor traps in a bedroom are mattresses and carpet.  Do you shower before bedtime, or in the mornings?  Consider that waiting until morning means going to bed, well, a little musty.  Even though you may feel relatively clean, going to bed without showering first will deposit small amounts of sweat each time.  Over the course of weeks, months, and years, it’s easy to see how a mattress can become a source of odor.  Why replace a smelly mattress if it’s still comfy, when you can just clean it?  Compare the cost of a new mattress to that of a quick shock treatment.
