Key takeaways
- Act quickly: blot, do not rub.
- Because the weather’s so humid, drying takes longer. Try to improve airflow. If possible, lift your mattress off the bed frame.
- A damp mattress, smelling or remaining wet, needs professional attention. Prices start from $105* for a single.
**Mattress Spill? Here’s What To Do.**
Soak up excess liquid fast with dry towels. Then, sprinkle baking soda all over the damp spot. Next, dry the mattress completely using fans in a well-ventilated room. Still damp or smelling a bit? Professional mattress cleaning begins at $105* for a single mattress, excluding GST.

What are the steps to dry a mattress after bedwetting?
- Strip the bedding and wash it straight away.
- Press dry towels onto the wet spot. Don’t rub; this pushes liquid further in.
- Sprinkle baking soda across the affected spot. Let it sit for a few hours to soak up dampness and any lingering smells.
- Vacuum the baking soda off.
- Stand your mattress on its side or remove it from the frame. Position it near a fan until it’s bone dry.
Why does Singapore’s humidity make drying harder?
Here, the air hangs thick with humidity. This means your mattress might take days to dry, unlike in drier climates. Dampness trapped deep in the foam? It’s a recipe for musty odours and mould growth.
After cleaning, air your room well. If you have a fan, run it directly over the mattress. Only put dry bedding back on once the mattress is completely dry, right down to the core.

If your mattress stays damp a day or two on, smells come back, or a spill has gone right through, call us. Sureclean’s mattress cleaning team uses dry or wet methods, depending on what’s wrong. Our own trained staff do the work at your place.

Wipe up spills on your mattress cover. If you’ve got a cover, most minor accidents dry out fast after that. Just wash the cover now and then.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a mattress take to dry in Singapore?
Drying can take twenty-four hours or longer. This depends on how much liquid has soaked in and local humidity levels. Use fans and open windows. Ensure everything is completely dry.
Can I use a hairdryer?
Gentle warmth works on mattresses. Just don’t make it too hot. A fan’s breeze offers safer, more even drying.

From $105* for a single (dry) and $125* (wet), before GST. Queen is $140* dry and $165* wet.
Is the mattress safe to sleep on after cleaning?
Wait till it’s completely dry. A waterproof protector stops it happening again.
