Even if you regularly wet clean and change bed linens, the base of your bed continues to work as a powerful magnet for microparticles. Mattress – this is the most unobvious, but active accumulator of pollution in the apartment. Over time, its weight may even increase due to the biomass and dust accumulated inside, and there are several physical and biological reasons for this.
The multi-layer structure of the product plays against hygiene. Modern orthopedic mattresses consist of many layers: springs, coconut coir, latex or memory foam. Between these materials remain air pocketswhere fine dust is literally pressed under the pressure of the human body. Fabric upholstery, having a porous structure, does not retain small particles on the surface, but lets them through, from where it is almost impossible to get them out with a regular vacuum cleaner.
The main source of the problem is the person himself. Every night our body loses millions dead skin cells. These scales seep through the sheet and become a breeding ground for saprophytes – dust mites. The waste products of these microorganisms mix with textile fibers, forming a dense layer of allergenic dust inside the filler. The situation is aggravated high humiditywhich the body secretes during sleep.
Static electricity attracts particles from the air. Synthetic materials, often used in coverings or fillings, accumulate a charge when rubbed against bedding or pajamas. This charge turns the sleeping place into electrostatic magnetwhich attracts dust flying in the room, even if it is located at a distance from the bed.
Lack of ventilation under the bed speeds up the process. Often the space under the bed is used for storing things or is simply poorly ventilated due to the solid base of the bed. Without normal air circulation the dust is not blown out, but settles in a dense layer on the bottom of the product and gradually penetrates its structure.
Regular use of a thick protective cover and deep cleaning can significantly slow down this process and keep the sleeping area fresh for many years.
