When renting clothes or baby equipment, the biggest fear for renters is: "Oh dear, what if the item accidentally gets dirty or scratched? I'll definitely be charged a repair fee."

The same concern applies to renting a foam mattress. But don't worry, looking after a rental foam mattress isn't actually that difficult. As a professional rental service, Santi Mebel always deep cleans returned mattresses. Even so, keeping the mattress clean while you use it is highly recommended for your own health.

Here are some tips on how to care for and prevent your rental mattress from getting dirty.

1. Always Use a Special Cover

Avoid sleeping with your skin in direct contact with the foam mattress's factory raw cover. Human skin regularly sheds sweat and dead skin cells throughout the night, and the foam's pores can absorb the odour. Tip: Make sure you use a Bed Sheet (fabric sheet) over it. Even better, use a waterproof Mattress Protector if you have toddlers who are prone to wetting the bed.

2. Keep Away from Pets

Cat or dog hair is highly stubborn; it clings to the mattress fibres and can cause allergic reactions for the next rental customer. What's more, a pet's natural instinct to scratch (scratching) will tear the foam cover to shreds. Make sure the room with the rental mattress is kept pet-free!

3. Avoid Eating in Bed

Crumbly snacks, biscuit crumbs, or spilled milk will attract ants or cockroaches into the crevices of the mattress. Coffee or tea stains on a foam mattress are notoriously stubborn, and these liquids can make the foam damp internally (leading to mould). Eat on the floor carpet instead!

4. Air It Out / Stand It Upright During the Day

Got a room with poor ventilation? To freshen up the foam, occasionally tilt the mattress (stand it upright against the wall) after waking up in the morning. Let any trapped body heat and moisture evaporate from the pores. Exposure to reflected sunlight is also beneficial.

By applying these 4 tips, we guarantee your holiday or stay will be healthier. The mattress will remain clean and white until the final day of the rental period.
