N2 - We have examined eight different cleaning techniques consisting of a combination of industrial methods, techniques used by smaller companies, and do-it-yourself solutions. These techniques were compared in a weighted matrix to identify which performs best quantitatively. The results show that RehaWash, TFR Group, and Dansk Rense Service perform best in the overall assessment. All three represent industrial mattress cleaning techniques and can therefore be recommended for further investigation. However, it is also crucial to include qualitative aspects such as documented cleanliness, environmental impact, and wear on the mattresses. These considerations complement the quantitative analysis and provide a more holistic basis for decision-making.
