The quilt smells after being exposed to the sun. Are the mites burnt? After reading it, you will understand. Chinese people seem to be obsessed with drying their quilts, whether in the dry north or the humid south. As long as the sun shines brightly in winter, people will take out their quilts to dry them. The dried quilts will feel warmer at night, and you can sleep in the fragrance of the sun. But some people say they like to use alcohol to disinfect the quilt. I don't want to dry the quilt. Why? In fact, these people think that the smell of the sun on the quilt is actually the smell of scorch mites. When they think of scorch mites, people who are obsessed with cleaning say they cannot accept it. However, many people insist that the sun on the quilt is not the corpse of mites, but a special fragrance, and this is the problem.
What is the smell of the sun that people like so much? In fact, scientists are also very interested in this issue. In 2020, Professor Matthew from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark and his team targeted the sun sockets on the quilt and conducted an experiment. They prepared three towels of the same size and material, so don't use any detergent and wash them with ionized water . They then placed three towels in three different locations, one to dry in the sun and the other two indoors and outdoors. Dry in a cool place where the sun cannot reach, and only one of the last three towels is dried in the sun, which has a special fragrance.
This is strange, do mites really get burned? To find out, Professor Mathieu and his team tested substances on towels that had been exposed to sunlight for high levels of carbon and oxygen compounds that are often part of the scents of flowers, fruits and chocolate. No wonder the quilt smells fragrant after being dried. Therefore, the smell of the sun is usually extreme liquid soap, which reacts with human sebum, dust and the smell of sunlight. Then why is there no smell of mites? I must say here that although mites are very small, they are too small for people to see with the naked eye, but they have strong vitality. If the room temperature is between seventeen and thirty degrees, they can all live a good life and put the quilt on them. After drying for two hours, the temperature is about 22 degrees. This temperature will only make the mites feel uncomfortable, but it will not kill them. The mites will not be killed, they will only feel the heat. Of course, it will hide in a cool place. Even if you dry the quilt in the summer, it cannot denature the protein in the mites, let alone burn it. In addition, there is no fragrance after the mites are burnt, which is the smell of barbecue. So there are no mites in the smell of the sun. Now let’s talk about how harmful mites are? How to destroy them in peacetime? Mites are tiny nodules that litter human dwellings and are only 0.1 to 0.5 millimeters long. So far, more than 50,000 mites have been found, the most common ones are dust mites, which eat people dandruff . One dander you spread can feed a million dust mites, so the house is almost filled with dust mites. Even humans are no exception. They like to breed on the surface of human hair follicles. If there are too many mites, it will cause discomfort to the human body and various skin diseases. When allergic people touch the body and expel mites, they will sneeze, cough, wheeze, etc. Mites are also a kind of pest, but unfortunately humans cannot completely eliminate mites, but as long as you pay more attention to indoor ventilation, maintain personal hygiene, usually clean the room more, and then use some mite products; most mites can be eliminated to a certain extent.
