How to judge whether there are mites in the quilt and how often should the sheets be washed?

Bed sheets and quilt covers need to be replaced frequently. If they are not replaced for a long time, the number of mites will increase. The presence of a certain amount of mites on the bed can cause a lot of harm. There are mites in the quilt, it’s just a matter of more or less.

The smell we smell when we dry the quilt is the smell of the dead mites. Use a mite test strip to test the mites in the quilt. If two lines are displayed, it means that the dust mite is positive. In addition, your skin condition can reflect the hygiene of the sheets and quilts. If your skin is greasy, has many blackheads, and has acne, it is probably because there are mites in the bed. Sneezing when shaking the quilt also means that there are mites.

summer

In the hot summer, bacteria can easily breed, especially when people sweat a lot, so the sheets should be washed more frequently. Generally speaking, it is best to wash the sheets once a week in summer to ensure that they are clean. However, it should be noted that the sheets should not be exposed to the sun when drying in summer, as this will easily cause the sheets to fade.

Spring and Autumn

The temperature in spring and autumn is not particularly high, but in spring the temperature begins to rise slowly, and some bacteria also become active slowly. Therefore, the number of times the sheets should be washed in these two seasons can be less than that in summer, and it is enough to wash them once a month.

winter

The temperature is low in winter, bacteria will not breed in large numbers, so the sheets do not need to be washed too often. Generally speaking, it is enough to wash them once every two months. However, some people who love cleanliness can also wash them according to their own situation.

Use clothing disinfectant. When washing sheets and quilt covers, in addition to using laundry detergent, you should also add disinfectant to them. The advantage of doing this is that the sheets become clean, and the effect of sterilization and mite removal is also very good. Large items such as sheets and quilt covers must be put in the washing machine to be clean. If the washing machine has more functions, you can choose the high-temperature mode for washing. If you have an ordinary washing machine at home, put the sheets and quilt covers in the sun. If you smell a smell of sunshine, it means that the mite removal effect is very good. This is because the smell of sunshine that people smell is not real, but the smell of mites being killed. Using mite removal spray, mites cannot be completely eliminated. People can only reduce the number of mites through some methods. For example, often spray mite removal and sterilization spray at home, ventilate the house frequently, and wipe the furniture with a wet towel every 3 days. Because dust is the environment that mites like to stay in the most, cleaning the dust at home can also reduce the breeding of mites. In addition, wipe the air conditioner and refrigerator lids more often, because dust easily falls on this part to breed bacteria. However, when you have nothing to do, you can also use ultraviolet light to irradiate the sheets and quilt covers to kill bacteria and remove mites. Just be careful not to irradiate them towards the human body. It is suitable for use in humid and rainy areas. People who see the sun all year round do not need to do this. Just let the bedding dry in the sun once a week.

Bed sheets can cause allergies. If you don't change the bed sheets for a long time, the number of mites on the bed will increase, which will affect human health. There will be our dead skin, oil, sweat, and hair on the bed. Some people will eat on the bed, and food residue will fall on the bed, so it is necessary to change the bed sheets frequently to keep the mattress clean and dry.
