How to keep germs out of bed

Did you know that an average bed mattress contains over 10.000 house dust mites? And the pillows double their weight in three years due to the mites that grow inside them.

Combined with the sweat that a person sheds at bedtime, it is understandable why your bed can become a source of germs if left untreated and trigger or worsen rhinitis, asthma and eczema.

If you want to keep your bed clean and free of germs, you need to follow a few steps…

Open the windows of the room and do not make the bed as soon as you get up in the morning

Change sheets at least once a week and wash pillows twice a year. Ideally, they should be replaced twice a year.

Ventilate and regularly leave the cover and pillows in the sun.

Remember that the mattress must be replaced every five years and if you cover and clean it every week, every ten years.
