The cleaning and maintenance of mattresses:

We do not always pay attention to the importance of cleaning, maintenance and disinfection of mattresses, it is usually a task that many people overlook when cleaning their homes for various reasons, either because we have the mattresses covered by sheets and blankets or because we do not know how to do it correctly. However, the stains that we can cover with the sheets are not the main problem of mattresses.

Each night, a person will sweat approximately half a liter. Sweat levels can increase in areas near the coasts if humidity is taken into account, especially during the summer. Sweat and dead skin cells remain on the mattress for a long time, providing an ideal breeding ground for dust mites and bacteria and, even if we use sheets, skin cells and body fluids will reach the mattress. The fact that we can't see it doesn't mean it's not there. A detail about the importance of cleaning and maintaining mattresses.

Hygiene, whether at a personal or environmental level, also includes the healthiness of the resting place and it is essential to give it the importance it deserves since adequate hygiene on the mattress will prevent the development of a large number of allergic reactions. In fact, one in five Spaniards, about 8 million people, suffer from some type of allergy (according to the Spanish Society of Allergology and Clinical Immunology) and, after pollen, the dust mites are the most frequent allergens, which usually nest on our mattresses. Many of these allergies are caused by a dirty mattress and by a common allergen for humans, dust mite feces, although they can also be triggered by bacterial and fungal spores, which have no natural enemies in their environment except for good maintenance and cleaning.
