to suck out the dust. A mattress cover helps keep it clean.

An ongoing vacuuming is best. The problem with any liquid cleaning is
that you do not want to penetrate the surface. Once wet, the inside
will likely mildew / never dry.

Is there some special reason why you felt the need to crosspost this to four
groups?

Uh, nooo. It is folks like you who muck up the Usenet. Crossposters suck
only slightly less than spammers.

I suppose there may have been a spill of some sort. However, if the mattress
needs cleaning because it is just old enough to have accumulated a lot of
dirt, or if it's not that great to begin with, I recommend replacing it.
Thinking it didn't make that much difference, I had slept on various old,
worn-out mattresses my entire life until maybe a month ago, when I finally
splurged and bought a nice, high-quality comfortable mattress. This decision
turns out to have been a time-saver: now when I wake up in the morning, I
no longer feel compelled to spend an extra 10 minutes standing under the hot
water in the shower trying to get my sore/tense muscles to relax. In
retrospect, it seems like I could've figured this out sooner and could
have found mornings slightly less miserable for the last decade or so.
By the way, alt.energy.homepower? What kind of a mattress have you got
there, a solar-powered one?

Sure. The way I do it: squirt bottle and lots of plastic wrap.
Don't wet the mattress too much. Use a solution of bleach and water
(not much bleach). Get it damp, wrap in plastic wrap. You can get
twenty five big rolls of plastic wrap at Costco. It's important to
wrap it thoroughly.
Let it sit for 5-10 days. If you are in a damp climate, wrap it very
tightly. It should be dry when you unwrap it.

I find that a "little green machine" i bought years ago, along with my
celling fan does a nice job for the once in a while cleaning of
mattress'. But hes right, little water, make sure you suck up ALL the
water. I have a ruined feather topper that will attest to that.

So; what did you get, from where, and what was the cost? I'm looking
at getting a new mattress at the moment, myself.

I got a Simmons Beautyrest with a big thick plush pillowtop. The one I got
was from their "World Class" line. My last mattress was really firm, and
this one is quite the opposite. I think the softer style works better for me.
I chose the Simmons brand because they have an "individually pocketed" coil
design, which basically means that the coils aren't tied together with metal
(except at the bottom). The marketing people say this means it can conform
to the shape of your body better, and in this case, I think it does make a
little bit of a difference. Of course, with a mattress, it's all about
personal preference, basically.
I paid plenty for it (well over $1000 including tax and delivery and all that),
but consoled myself with the fact that I at least talked them down more than
10% below the "sale" price. I bought it at Mattress Firm, which is a chain
of stores that's apparently bent on world domination based on how many stores
they've opened lately.

As you have seen in this thread, it can be troublesome to wash a
matress. Get one where you can take off the cover, to be washed
seperately.
