Your Mattress Is Alive!

Dust MiteI get health tips every day in an e-mail. This was today’s – just too gross to think about!

Your bed is crawling with life: 10 000 dust mites call it home. They live off the half litre of moisture you sweat out every night as well as bits of shed skin.

Take action:
Mites cause allergies. Use clean bed linen as a barrier between you and the dust mites and wash bedding every week at 60 degrees Celsius. Regularly air your mattress in the sun.
