The answer

Purifying a defiled mattress is not achieved by wiping but by washing with water until the impurity is removed. Passing an electric iron over a defiled mattress does not purify it; rather, it transfers the impurity to the iron. However, the heat of the iron dries the impure water, removing the physical substance of the impurity, but its ritual impurity remains. To purify the iron, the bottom part that came into contact with the impurity should be washed with water. If there is a concern that washing might damage it, then wiping it with water is sufficient. As for doubt about the hand touching impurity, the hand is not ruled impure because the default state is purity, and certainty is not removed by doubt.
