A lot of people tend to make their bed right after getting up. However, according to experts, it appears that this habit has its downfalls.
If you make your bed right after you get up from bet in the morning, millions of dust mites that live in your bed will be trapped between the sheets feeding off your dead skin cells and sweat.
These bacteria thrive on dead skin cells and sweat and they can cause allergies and asthma.
When we sleep, we sweat. According to scientists, the average person may sweat up to a liter of fluid per night.
This creates an ideal breeding ground for the mites.
They estimate unbelievable number of 1.5 million dust mites residing in an average bed which are feeding off our old skin cells that we shed onto our sheets as we sleep.
Their existence is not what causes a problem, but what they leave behind. More precisely, their excretions are responsible for dust allergies and asthma flare ups.
THE BEST SOLUTION!
Carolyn Forte, director of the cleaning lab at the Good Housekeeping Institute, explains that leaving the bed unmade for some time after waking up in the morning is an excellent decision as the sheets have the time to dry from the nighttime tossing and turning.
After a day’s exposure to fresh air and light, the dust mites in your bed will have died, leaving you to breathe a little easier.
Also, it’s important to wash the sheets every two weeks as well as the pillowcases.
