Among the most common dangers associated with mattresses are dust mites. They are the main culprits of sleep-related problems, from insomnia to nighttime breathing problems.
Invisible to the naked eye, these tiny creatures that invade the mattress can transform a comfortable bed into a very uncomfortable place and numbs sleep. Dust mites, in fact, can cause several problems, such as the risk of allergies, skin irritations and respiratory problems such as asthma.
To eliminate the infestation of these insects it is best to clean the mattress regularly, using natural products rather than chemical ones.
Some natural tips to eliminate dust mites
One of the most common natural remedies is baking soda, which can eliminate dust mites. This white powder also helps eliminate bad odors and keep mattresses fresh and clean.
To get the most out of this product, sprinkle your mattress generously with baking soda. Let it sit for a few minutes before scrubbing it with a brush. Then wait a few more minutes. After that time, remove debris with a vacuum cleaner or pat the mattress outside.
You can also periodically turn the mattress. This way its weight will be evenly distributed and mites will not settle in certain areas.
