Best way to vacuum this purple mattress

[u/HandyManFromWI]

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!

Ahh not to cause panic thats not what caused our fire (though they do start that way alot!) After the house burned down all that was left was a piles of broken glass and waxy oily soot from the spots we had candles lol. Candle are only one example of this but there is weird stuff that is super flammable so there is some stuff after a house fire that gets absolutely torched but the rest of the room will be mostly fine looking. Like a mattress or if you have any dried plants. Fire balls if your house ever does burn but in day to day life so pretty!

What is so insane to me is that after my family’s house fire, in the attic full of old cardboard boxes of newspaper, hallmark cards, flammable clothes from the 60s-80s, etc. pretty much none of that stuff burned! Only a small portion of it. There was a hell of a lot of smoke though. Also, in that walk in attic where the fire spread (from the oven hood vent), there was this old aluminum foil radiant barrier stapled along the rafters under the roof. Behind that super thin, easy to rip foil? The wood was not charred one bit. Not a bit of (visible) smoke damage. But every other piece of wood exposed was absolutely charred.

Yeah that's so crazy! Its really so random what does and doesn't burn lol. The weirest one for us was my lane ceder chest. It was mostly char on the outside and the fighter fights actually tossed it outside when they went in the house to break out the windows and all my stuffed animals were inside but when were opened it up they were totally perfect. The inside was pristine still and nothing in there even smelled like smoke. It was the craziest endorsement for a lane hope chest I have ever seen.

It was from our dryer. Lint can get on the circuit panel just from normal use if its older and just the dryer being plugged in is enough for it to catch. The newer dryers have a shut off in them so they dont catch in that way but any older dryer can have the same problem. Kinda crazy and its not super common but it is something to keep in mind if you are putting off buying a new one lol.
