If the early sunset and late sunrise have you spending more time under the covers in bed, it’s more important than ever to consider the importance of cleaning your mattress. In fact, it’s often the least-cleaned item in a house! Not only will regular cleaning help keep your mattress looking and feeling fresh and new, but it’ll also help protect you from the invisible issues that can cause noticable health problems. Keep reading to learn more about why mattress cleaning matters.

Why Mattress Cleaning Matters

Dust Mites:  Dust mites are tiny creatures that feed on dead skin cells and live in warm, humid environments. It might sound like something out of a horror movie, but they are real—and they’re lurking in your bed! Dust mites are too small to see with the naked eye, but they can cause a reaction if you’re allergic or sensitive to them. In addition to adding mattress cleaning to your seasonal cleaning rotation, you should frequently clean your bedding to reduce the presence of dust mites.

Bacteria: Mattresses are hotbeds for bacteria. Your sheets may be changed regularly, but if you don’t clean your mattress itself, all kinds of germs could be living there undetected—especially if you have pets or young kids who like to sleep with you. Cleaning your mattress regularly will help kill any lingering bacteria that could lead to health issues either now or in the future.

Allergens: In addition to dust mites and bacteria, mattresses can also be breeding grounds for all sorts of allergens like pollen, mold spores, and pet dander. These allergens can cause breathing difficulties and other reactions if not removed regularly. Using a mattress pad and cleaning your mattress regularly will help reduce the presence of these allergens so that you can breathe easier at night. Bonus tip: hop in the shower before you climb in for the night.
