Why Should I Clean My Mattress?
The average person spends approximately one third of their life sleeping. That is a significant portion of your time to be laying on a mattress. Do you want to spend that percentage of your life on a dirty, uncomfortable, or even harmful mattress?
In a manner of months, your mattress will collect a large amount of sweat, dirt, dust mites, allergens, and insects. Not only is this simply unhygienic, it directly impacts the quality of your sleep. A dirty mattress actually decreases the air quality of your bedroom. The gunk and grime from your skin, hair, dirt, and bugs makes its way into the lining of your mattress. As you move around in your sleep, this accumulated debris is released into the air and inhaled during the night. Prolonged exposure to these foreign substances can result in allergies, respiratory issues, a deteriorated immune system, and even decreased libido.
Cleaning your mattress regularly will save your body and your lungs, yes, but also your wallet. A mattress is an expensive investment, costing between $1000-$3000 on average. The debris that accumulates can accelerate the wear and tear on the fabrics and materials that make up your mattress. Having it regularly cleaned can double, or even triple, the life expectancy.
