What most mattress stores and online mattress dealers won't tell you about stains and your mattress warranty.
The fact is if you get a stain on your mattress your warranty is void. The main reason is that a stain means moisture has seeped into your mattress. If it is a spring mattress rust can form and break down the spring system. If you mattress is a memory foam or latex mattress the foam can break down as well. Using liquid cleaners or worse using a steam cleaner only makes the situation worse. Why anyone would suggest steam cleaning is beyond me. Putting more water into your mattress is what you want to avoid.
To protect your spring mattress and memory foam mattress warranty use a mattress pad which is designed to stop spills and stains from entering your mattress. You have invested a lot of money in a new mattress, so why not invest a few dollars more and purchase a good mattress cover. We highly recommend the Protect A Bed brand as it comes with a 10 year replacement warranty, plus it protects your mattress for 10 years.
