Materials and natural ingredients in Vispring mattresses

One of the main characteristics of Vispring mattresses is the use of only natural materials. While many modern mattresses rely on synthetic materials, Vispring believes in natural alternatives that offer not only an eco-friendly approach, but also increased comfort and breathability. Key ingredients include:

• Yorkshire wool: The brand uses wool from local farms to provide natural breathability and help regulate body temperature while sleeping. The wool is hypoallergenic and antibacterial, making it ideal for those with sensitive skin or allergies.
• Cotton and silk: These natural materials give mattresses a luxurious feel and increase their breathability. Cotton and silk are soft to the touch, yet firm enough to hold the shape of the mattress.
• Horsehair: This less common but high-quality material is often used in premium mattresses. Horsehair is resilient, durable and very moisture wicking, contributing to a dry and comfortable sleeping environment.
• Natural Latex: Vispring mattresses use latex from natural sources that is flexible, conformable and antimicrobial. Latex provides perfect body support and increases the life of the mattress.

Why it’s important to clean Vispring mattresses

Many people don’t realize how easily a Vispring mattress can accumulate dust, sweat, grease and dead skin cells, creating an environment for microbes and dust mites. These microscopic organisms can cause allergies, asthma or skin irritation. Cleaning your Vispring mattress not only improves hygiene, but also helps prevent unpleasant odors and promotes quality sleep. So having a clean mattress is not just about greater comfort, but also better health.

Health risks associated with dirty Vispring wool

A dirty Vispring mattress can contribute to a number of health problems. Among the most common are:

• Allergies and asthma: Dust mites, mold and dust can cause or worsen allergic reactions and asthma symptoms.
• Skin problems: Bacteria, sweat and oils from the skin can contribute to rashes and other skin problems.
• Sleep disturbances: Unpleasant odors or the knowledge that you are sleeping on an unclean mattress can affect sleep quality.

That’s why it’s important to not only clean your mattress regularly, but also focus on preventing harmful organisms and mold.

How often to clean a wool mattress

The frequency of cleaning a Vispring mattress depends on various factors such as the type of Vispring mattress, how it is used, the environment in the room and specific needs (such as allergies). In general, a few basic rules apply:

• Light cleaning (such as vacuuming) should be done at least once a month.
• Deeper cleaning should take place at least once every six months.
• Cleaning after soiling (for example, after spilling liquids or if the Vispring mattress becomes a source of unpleasant odor) should be done immediately.

Regular cleaning is especially important for people with allergies or asthma, as it can help reduce the amount of allergens in the mattress.

Vispring disinfectant cleaning methods

There are several methods of disinfecting Vispring , which vary in effectiveness, time and cost. Hotels can choose according to their needs and budget.

Mechanical cleaning

Mechanical cleaning involves removing dirt, dust and allergens from the surface of the Vispring mattress. This is usually done using industrial vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters to ensure that even the smallest particles are captured. Mechanical cleaning is the first step, which should be complemented by other disinfection methods.

Chemical disinfection

Using chemical agents is one of the most common methods. Special disinfectant solutions are applied to the surface of the Vispring mattress to destroy bacteria, viruses and mould. It is important to use products that are safe for human skin and do not irritate the respiratory tract. After chemical disinfection, the mattress must be dried thoroughly.

Steam cleaning

Steam cleaning uses high-temperature steam to disinfect the Vispring. This method is environmentally friendly as it does not require chemicals, and is very effective in killing bacteria and dust mites. In addition, the hot steam penetrates deep into the fibres of the Vispring mattress, ensuring thorough disinfection.

UV-C cleaning

UV-C technology is increasingly being used to disinfect Vispring in hotels. Ultraviolet radiation of this wavelength destroys the DNA of microorganisms, thus completely deactivating them. This method is fast, effective and does not require the use of chemicals. Modern machines allow the application of UV-C radiation directly on the surface of the Vispring mattress.

Ozonization

Ozonation is another innovative method that uses ozone to destroy microorganisms. Ozone has strong oxidizing properties that effectively eliminate bacteria, viruses and odors. This method is particularly suitable for hotels as it can also remove lingering unpleasant odours caused by smoking or animals.

When should professional cleaning be considered?

In some cases, cleaning with baking soda may not be sufficient and it is advisable to consider professional Vispring mattress cleaning. Professional cleaning companies use special products and technologies that can remove even deep-seated dirt and bacteria. Professional cleaning is recommended especially in the following cases:

• Old stains: If the Vispring mattress contains old and stubborn stains that cannot be removed by conventional means.
• Large soiling: If the Vispring mattress has been exposed to a large amount of soiling, for example after an accident with liquids.
• Allergies and health problems: If you suffer from allergies or respiratory problems, professional cleaning can help eliminate allergens

The Vispring mattress is one of the most important products that has a major impact on our health, well-being and quality of sleep. When choosing a Vispring mattress, we pay close attention to its material, firmness and ability to conform to the shape of the body. Unfortunately, we often forget that we also need to care for and clean the mattress regularly. Although many people don’t realise it, a Vispring mattress can become an ideal environment for dust mites, bacteria, mould and other contaminants. We aim to use primarily deep disinfectant dry cleaning as part of our professional cleaning. Below is an overview of the partial steps that professional and thorough cleaning and disinfection of Vispring involves.

Vispring vacuuming & mattress knocking: Professional vacuum cleaners with HEPA filter and HEPA bag must have an electric vibrating knocking head. This technology of KIRBY® / HYLA® vacuum cleaners makes it possible to remove surface mold spores, mites by dry method from the surface of the Vispring mattress.

Cleaning with special chemical cleaners: Professional antibacterial disinfectants and cleaners from the manufacturer and brand POTEMA® / Dr. Schutz® bring an environmentally friendly, anti-allergenic method of disinfectant maintenance to the surface of the Vispring.

UV-C Lamp: We recommend entrusting your mattress to industry professionals who have a UV-C germicidal lamp for Vispring mattresses . UVC producing lamps are designed to be safely used on Vispring surfaces and other household items. The radiant energy of UVC radiation acts directly on microorganisms that are deposited on the surface and top layer of the Vispring mattress. The disinfection process usually takes a few minutes, during which the lamp destroys up to 99.9% of the bacteria and other harmful organisms present.

OZON: we recommend entrusting the mattress to industry professionals who have the BIO-OZON® vacuum cleaning system. The disinfecting properties of ozone result from its ability to oxidize molecules in the cells of bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. When ozone comes into contact with these pathogens, it disrupts the cell membrane or wall of the microorganism, leading to its decomposition and subsequent death. This process works similarly to the action of conventional disinfectants, but without the use of chemicals, which is beneficial for people who prefer natural and eco-friendly solutions.

When used indoors, such as Vispring cleaning, ozone not only kills bacteria and viruses, but also dust mites, mold spores, and other allergens. Its ability to destroy harmful microorganisms without toxic residues makes it ideal for the environment in which we sleep and rest.

Allergens, mould spores, bacteria, viruses and dust mites are not only a hygiene problem in Vispring mattresses, but also a health problem. However, with appropriate prevention, maintenance and the right choice of Vispring mattress, the risks can be significantly reduced. Even the thickest sheets and blankets cannot protect us from micro-particles. Dust mites or moulds, which often number up to one million and produce allergy-causing faeces that settle in our mouths, noses, eyes etc. every time we move. In addition to the allergy manifesting as itching, mucous membrane inflammation, bronchitis, asthma and shortness of breath can be added. This condition can be prevented by professional cleaning and deep dry disinfection with UV-C radiation or vacuum ozonation of the Vispring mattress with thorough machine vacuuming and above all regular maintenance.

When it’s time for a new mattress

Despite regular care and cleaning, every Vispring mattress has a lifespan. If a Vispring mattress is more than 8-10 years old or shows signs of damage, odor, mold or allergic reactions, it may be time to replace it.

Cleaning a Vispring mattress is an important process that should not be overlooked. Careful maintenance, the right products, and prevention can extend the life of your Vispring mattress and ensure a healthier, more restful night’s sleep. Whether you choose natural or commercial remedies, the key is regularity and consistency.
