My girlfriend keeps on calling me stubborn. (If you've seen Black Panther, there's a scene when Lupita Nyong'o's character describes herself as stubborn, and she pronounces the word in exactly the same way as my other half.)
Anyway, my mattress got damp and has got a bit of mould in it. The stock advice in this situation is to dispose of it, as you can't really get the fungus out once it's taken root.
My girlfriend suggests that we try a professional deep clean. I'm not sure if it's worth it as mould is tenacious.
Anyway, I get in touch with Abaca Organic, the company that sold me the mattress, and they make a few suggestions to try, but suggest it's probably not easily fixed. (Incidentally, they sell a fantastic, but not cheap, product, and have great customer service.)
She's still not convinced.
Then she gets a call back from a mattress cleaner, and passes the phone over to me. I explain the problem, and he tells me that the best course would be to replace it.
My girlfriend thinks we should try someone else, and continues to call me stubborn! :o

@Graeme all I can now see and hear is 'my matters got damp' and the words in my head 'how??'.
Do you live in England? A popular way of disposing of mattresses here is to find a beautiful country lane, find a layby in said lane, and dump the fucking thing there. If you want the whole experience you can set fire to it too. Wonderful…problem resolved...next please... -
That is not a England only thing, Matresses and first an foremost all Sorts of electrical Kitchen Equipment, Mixer to Stove can be Found in Forests Near you in Germany. I assume the People who trash those things are pobably not that smart because the Recycling of als Sorts of electrical Stuff is Free in my Area and the Dump is porbably easyer to reach as the next forest

I know what I'd do. Dump the spoilt mattress while a new one is ordered, and be done with it. But I'm single… :-\
