Cleaning your air bed after each use is the best way to keep it in good shape. Not only will this extend the mattress's usability, but it means you'll always be prepared for your next guest visit.
Like any mattress, these temporary sleeping arrangements can accumulate skin, perspiration, dust mites, and moisture which can lead to mold developing and microbes thriving. So, while cleaning your mattress can be an easy task to neglect, if you allow these to build up over time it will be harder to maintain and you may have to replace it sooner, which can be costly.
