Coming home from get off work, taking off your professional clothes, taking a hot bath, lying on the bed, and sinking your head into the pillow is the happiest moment of the day. However, there are millions of mites hidden in this "gentle place" at home, which may trigger your skin crisis at any time.
A British survey showed that the bedroom is a hot spot for allergies, with 34% of people experiencing symptoms such as sneezing and coughing in the bedroom. The most common allergens in the bedroom are dust mites , with up to 2 million on the bed. It is estimated that there are about 1,000 dust mites per gram of dust in the bedroom, but research shows that as many as 100 to 500 dust mites per gram of dust are enough to cause allergy symptoms. Clinically, many allergic patients will soon develop allergic symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, etc. as long as they fold quilts, shake sheets, and make beds.
Because mites make a living by eating dandruff that falls off the human body, things that are in deeper contact with the body are more likely to gather mites. In the bedroom, there is a lot of dandruff and hair scattered on pillows, bed sheets, quilt covers, etc., which is a "playground" for mites. Some people like to put stuffed animals and pillows on their beds, but dust mites love nothing more than "camping." Mattresses, curtains, air conditioning filters , carpets and other things that are not easily cleaned are also the "paradise" for mites. British researchers found that there were more than 1 billion microorganisms on a mattress that hadn't been cleaned in three years.
Dust mite excrement and limb fragments are important causes of skin and respiratory allergies and can cause chronic urticaria , allergic asthma , allergic rhinitis and other diseases. Dust mites are suitable for survival in an environment with a temperature of 25% and a humidity of about 75%. Based on the cold- and heat-resistant habits of dust mites, the mite removal strategy was formulated.
1. Freeze. Pillows, pillows, and dolls are difficult to wash. It is recommended to wrap them in plastic wrap and and put them in the refrigerator for 6 to 24 hours. After dust mite mortality reaches 70%, tan and pat again.
2. Lebi spray sterilizing spray. Regularly spray some Lobi Spray sterilizing spray on the sheets to effectively sterilize and inhibit the growth of mites without irritating the skin or irritating children.
3. Dry and ventilated. The north is relatively dry, but people sweat when sleeping, and the water vapor they breathe creates a humid microclimate environment, which is conducive to the growth of dust mites. Therefore, please open the windows for ventilation immediately after getting up. Dehumidifier box, dehumidifier can be used in humid areas in the south. If there is a bathroom in the bedroom, it is recommended to design a separate vent to prevent water vapor from filling the bedroom.
4. High temperature cleaning and tanning. Generally speaking, dust mites will die after tanning in about 10 minutes. It is recommended to expose the core or mattress for two to three hours every six months. Please choose between 11 a.m. and 15 p.m. when the sun is strong. After drying, pat the quilt to shake off the mite body fragments and excrement. Soaking in hot water above 55C for 5 minutes can remove most allergens, so it is recommended to wash sheets, quilt covers, pillowcases, etc. every two to three months.
5. Change bedroom supplies frequently. For people with severe allergy symptoms, replacing the mattress with a new one and keeping the wrapped plastic film can effectively prevent mites. Please replace pillows, quilts, sheets, foot pads, pillows, etc. with new ones when used for a long time. When changing bedding, please choose bedding with a smooth surface. I would avoid ticks hiding.
