Cleaning Your Mattress
If you’re like me you always wash your bed sheets. I would not go more than two weeks without washing them. What’s interesting to me is we always wash our sheets and almost never consider cleaning our mattresses. Most of the time we overlook stains and discoloration by covering it with sheets and comforters. Even though it should be noted that stains are not the only reason why we should have our mattresses cleaned. During the night while one is sleeping the average person produces about half a liter of sweat. This is combined with thousands of skin cells that are released into the bed. Over a long period of time it becomes a breeding environment for microscopic pets called dust mites or bacteria.
It’s proven that allergies, respiratory illnesses and headaches can be a result of a dirty bed. The source of these issues is the feces released by dust mites inhaled into the human lungs. Bacterial and fungal spores can also cause an immune reaction when inhaled into the human body. There is no threat to these species in their natural environment. So that means they can rapidly and abundantly reproduce. It’s a fact that the average bed can contain up to a million dust mites. Also beds will increase in wait because of this very reason.
What’s great about having your mattress professionally cleaned is the fact that it can eliminate these pests and the issues they create. Also regular maintenance can remove stains and odors caused by soiling, chemicals and spills. With today’s cleaning 95 percent of dust mites and the waste they create can be eliminated in a single treatment.
For the few good reasons explained above it is very important to have your mattress professionally cleaned. I highly recommend a cleaning at least every 3 years.
