Even with protective covers, mattresses and upholstered furniture can still collect surface dust. A dedicated mattress vacuum allows for focused, safe cleaning of these porous surfaces without reintroducing particles into the air.

When and where to use:

• Vacuum pillows and mattresses weekly, especially the pillow you’re sleeping on
• Upholstered furniture like couches and chairs should be vacuumed monthly, or more often if in frequent use

What to look for in a mattress vacuum:

• True HEPA filtration
• A motorized roller brush or suction head to agitate dust from fabric fibers
• Lightweight and easy to maneuver

Tools like the Dibea Bed Vacuum Cleaner or Raycop models are specifically made for this purpose. These vacuums are gentle enough for encasement fabrics but strong enough to remove fine particles that settle on the surface.
