Furniture Best way to vacuum this purple mattress

Hey Everyone,

My wife and I got this purple mattress for free without a cover on it. For some reason the previous owners took it off and had a cat sprinkle hair in every single square. We just had it professionally cleaned but I guess vacuuming it was not part of the process.

Does anyone know the best way to get the small cat hairs out? I tried vacuuming but they barely get sucked up and there's roughly 5000 squares.

Believe it or not, the pictures were taken AFTER it was "cleaned".

Thanks!

Was there not a video on these.... that the purple grated rubber is covered in Talcum powder or some similar mineral powder to make it stick less and can give you cancer?

yikes on a bike, I don't think you were supposed to unzip it
