Want to know something really shocking about mattresses? The average bed contains around 10 million dust mites in the average bed. They are mostly harmless, but an unabated buildup of their droppings and body fragments can cause respiratory disease, trigger allergies and make conditions like asthma worse. A bed is also a collector of sweat and dead skin. That is why it’s important that your mattress is cleaned regularly.
Here is what you can do to keep your mattress sanitary.
- Change your bedsheets at least every two weeks. When you do, leave it off for a couple of hours so that the mattress can breathe. Bonus points if you can let the sunshine on it to naturally purge it of many germs and bacteria.
- Rotate your mattress once a month to even out wear and flip every quarter.
- Maintain a total liquid ban around the mattress
- Keep your room airy
- Once a quarter book a professional mattress clean with Pristine Clean
