The POTEMA process

Freshness worth recommending.

Your guests deserve it.

What your guests never see

A clean room does not stop at the surface.

Freshly made does not mean deeply cleaned. Moisture, skin flakes and fine dust settle below the surface — where fresh linen and vacuuming cannot reach.

  • Deep in the fibre

    Everyday residues settle millimetres below the surface — beyond the reach of standard cleaning.

  • Housekeeping reaches the surface

    Changing linen, airing and vacuuming look after the top layer — deeper inside, the mattress stays untouched.

  • Freshness guests notice

    POTEMA cleans right into the fibre — for a room that feels noticeably fresh and stands out in reviews.

About us

Cleanliness is a matter of trust.

Nobody can see what sits inside a mattress — which is why trust matters more to me than any promise. Since 1989 our mission has been to get beds so clean that we can prove it rather than simply claim it — that is why we developed a patented process. Dry, chemical-free, with a record for every bed, to the standard POTEMA partners keep in 21 countries.

Reference

Hotel Koos relies on POTEMA.

In the hotel's own promotional film, POTEMA mattress cleaning is part of the hygiene concept — filmed during normal operation, in an occupied room, without removing the mattress.

  • Cleaning in an occupied hotel
  • Room stays usable the same day

Proof

What stays on site after the visit.

Not just a clean bed, but the proof of it — per mattress, per room.

Inspection seal

  • On every cleaned mattress
  • Dated and consecutively numbered
  • Issued centrally by POTEMA

Service record

  • Date · room and mattress no.
  • Follow-up care with Matratzen Cleanspray
  • Next service date · remarks

Certificate

  • On request for the entire property
  • Ready to display for guests
  • With a validity date
Sample POTEMA service record form: fields for customer, meter reading and specialist partner, plus one line per mattress with date, room number, follow-up care, inspection seal and next appointment

Sample form

This is what your proof looks like.

Your specialist partner fills in the service record on site and hands it to you — signed, with one line per cleaned mattress.

  • Meter reading before and after cleaning, in 36-second units
  • Per line: date, room and mattress no., follow-up care with Matratzen Cleanspray
  • Inspection seal applied and next service date
  • Recommended interval: every 6 to 24 months, depending on use and exposure

After the appointment

What your hotel keeps.

Elegant, freshly made hotel bed in warm light
  • A certificate to display

    On request for the whole hotel — visible to guests, usable on your website, at check-in and with corporate clients.

  • Advertise with confidence

    An inspection seal on every mattress, a service record for every room: your hygiene promise is documented, not just claimed.

  • Mattresses last longer

    What is regularly drawn out of the fibres cannot keep working away inside the material. Care instead of replacement.

  • For sensitive guests too

    Allergens from mite droppings are deactivated — noticeable for guests who are sensitive to dust.

No. Dry, with the mattress left in place — the room can be let the same day. The one restriction: allergy sufferers should stay out of the room during cleaning and for an hour afterwards.

No days lostNote for allergy sufferers

Around 12 minutes for a standard 100 × 200 cm mattress, both sides. The surface is worked through in 16 counting units, longer on the head and hip areas.
