Cleaning and maintaining your bedding is essential.
Even if you are not prone to allergies, good hygiene will allow you to enjoy a healthy and peaceful sleep.
Let's see the good reflexes to adopt to clean your bedding effectively yourself.
The first reflex to acquire is to ventilate your room. This allows you to renew the ambient air, and to evacuate the dust and dust mites present in your bedding.
Don't just make your bed, shake and pat your duvet, pillows, comforters, etc.
If you have time, lay your duvet and pillows on the edge of your window, in daylight for 30 to 60 min.
Dust mites won't like it at all, and that's the point!
Sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases should be changed and washed every fortnight minimum, or even every week for optimal hygiene.
Indeed, during our sleep, we sweat, lose our scales which the mites feast on.
Only a regular change of our sheets can fight against the proliferation of these undesirables, while providing us with a cozy and clean bed.
Very important point, your duvets and pillows should not be forgotten, and should be washed regularly.
A duvet should be washed at each change of season and the pillows at least twice a year.
You should also know that a duvet has a lifespan of 5 years on average, and that pillows will last about 3 years. They will then have to be renewed.
At each change of sheets, be sure to vacuum your mattress, this will regularly get rid of dust and dust mites.
Also remember to turn it over at least twice a year, also reversing the direction of the feet and the head.
This will relieve pressure points and prevent the mattress from sagging. One futon will be turned over weekly.
You will protect it with a dust mite protective cover if necessary, or simply a washable mattress pad.
Don't forget to vacuum your box spring and the underside of your bed, a veritable dust nest. Also, avoid putting your mattress on the floor, as it won't be able to ventilate.
Sometimes a mattress, which has a lifespan of 10 years, can stain in the face of the vagaries of life. Some very simple tricks will allow you to clean it without any problem.
For example, when dealing with a coffee stain, you will use a little hydrogen peroxide or white vinegar.
If there is a blood stain, 2 tablets of aspirin in water will do wonders to erase all traces (especially not hot water).
Traces of urine will be removed with sparkling water.
