Everett: mattress care in one of Lincoln's oldest neighborhoods

Everett splits between small apartments and old houses. In the census tract around Everett School, 48% of homes are in buildings of ten or more units and half are studios or one-bedrooms. In the neighboring tract, 69% are detached houses and 58% were built before 1940, some dating to the 1870s. We clean the mattress in place in either, at $249 for the first mattress, any size. Call or text (402) 512-5658.

What does the record say about Everett?

Some of Lincoln's oldest platted land
North of A Street, Everett is part of the 1867 Original Plat of Lincoln. South of A it includes South Lincoln Addition (1869, west of 11th Street) and Dawson's Addition (1870, east of 11th Street), with houses dating to the 1870s. (Everett Neighborhood Association)
Landmarks without a district
Everett has no historic district, but Bahr Terrace and Lyman Terrace near 11th and H Streets, built around 1889, are National Register row houses and Lincoln Landmarks. The Albert Watkins House at 920 D Street (1887) is National Register-listed. (Everett Neighborhood Association)
Everett School
At 1123 C Street since 1887; the current building dates from 1928. The C Street School was renamed for Edward Everett in 1890. (LPS Pedia)
Neighborhood clean-ups
The Everett Neighborhood Association lists a spring and a fall neighborhood clean-up among its yearly events. (Everett Neighborhood Association)

Why is Everett two neighborhoods for a mattress visit?

Because its two census tracts look nothing alike. The tract that holds Everett School is an apartment district: 48% of homes are in buildings of ten or more units, only 18% are detached houses, and the most common home is a one-bedroom. The neighboring tract is a house district: 69% detached, 58% built before 1940, and two-bedroom homes are the most common size. Citywide, Lincoln's most common home has three bedrooms.

So an Everett booking is usually one of two jobs: a single bed in a compact apartment, or two or three beds in an old house.

What makes Everett's houses different from the rest of Lincoln?

Age. The Everett Neighborhood Association traces the area to the 1867 Original Plat north of A Street and to South Lincoln Addition (1869) and Dawson's Addition (1870) south of it, and says some of Lincoln's oldest houses, from the 1870s, stand here. Bahr Terrace and Lyman Terrace near 11th and H, built around 1889, are described as the two finest examples of early row houses in Lincoln. Only 12% of Lincoln's housing dates from before 1940; in the house tract here it is 58%.

Old houses have small, varied rooms and upstairs bedrooms, and none of that matters to our method, because we clean the mattress where it is: low-moisture dry vapor steam, HEPA vacuuming and UV-C light treatment on the surface, seams and tufts.

How should an Everett household think about summer humidity?

Room by room. Lincoln Airport's average July dew point is about 65°F, and LLCHD recommends keeping indoor humidity between 30 and 50 percent. Older upper floors and basements can drift outside that range. Our Lincoln humidity and bed mites guide has the local numbers. After a visit the bed stays unmade until it is dry to the touch, and we run a moisture check after the job.

What if the mattress should go instead?

Ask the association about its spring and fall clean-ups, or use the city's North 48th Street transfer station any time; our move-out and disposal guide explains the covered-load rule. If the bed is sound, cleaning is the cheaper reset. The method is explained in the Sleep Sanitation Knowledge Center.

What does a visit cost in Everett?

The same as anywhere in Lincoln: the first mattress is $249, any size, with normal stains, pet odor and ordinary urine accidents included. Each additional full, queen or king in the same visit is $199, each additional kids bed (twin or full) is $149, and underside treatment is +$50–$75 per mattress. A severe or biohazard case carries a surcharge we quote before starting. Every visit includes UV-C light treatment, HEPA vacuuming and two checks: a moisture check after the job and the built-in bed mite sensor on our UV-C vacuum. 72-hour bedroom CO₂ testing is a separate optional service, priced by quote, and it isn't a medical test. See Lincoln pricing for every rate.

What do Everett households ask?

Do you work in Everett's apartment buildings?

Yes. We bring everything to the unit and clean the mattress where it sits. Tell us the building entrance, the floor and where to park when you book.

My house in Everett is from the 1880s. Does that change the cleaning?

Not the method. It can change the room: older upstairs bedrooms can run humid in a Lincoln summer, so keep the air conditioning or a fan going, keep the bed unmade until it is dry to the touch, and we run a moisture check after the job.

Can I put an old mattress out at the Everett neighborhood clean-up?

Check with the Everett Neighborhood Association first; it lists spring and fall clean-ups but sets its own rules for what it takes. The year-round option is the City of Lincoln's North 48th Street transfer station, 5101 N 48th St.

Most Everett homes are small. Is one mattress worth a visit?

Yes. The first mattress is $249, any size, with normal stains, pet odor and ordinary urine accidents included. Additional beds in the same visit are $149–$199 depending on size.

Do you treat bed bugs in Everett's older buildings?

No. We are a mattress cleaning service, not pest control. If we see signs of bed bugs during the inspection, we stop and tell you, and a licensed pest control company is the next call.
