Does baking soda work for getting rid of bed mites?

Mites are parasites that affect people's lives. Although mites do not cause serious diseases, the harm they cause to people's bodies cannot be underestimated. The most obvious is that they will cause skin allergy symptoms in patients. Therefore, how to remove mites is one of the topics in people’s lives. The most serious place where mites breed is the bed. Many people like to use baking soda to clean bedding. Let’s take a look at whether baking soda is effective in removing bed mites?

First, we remove the sheets and wash them thoroughly, then use a vacuum cleaner to clean the surface of the mattress. In fact, the vacuum cleaner has removed more than 85% of the mites and eggs.

Then sprinkle baking soda evenly on the surface of the mattress and leave it there for half an hour. This will not only remove odors but also kill mites. Baking soda, through its high osmotic pressure, has dehydrated the fragile mites and caused them to die.

When there are stains on the surface of the mattress, you can wipe it clean with a wet towel. It is true that there is usually very little dirt on the mattress because mattresses are covered with sheets in daily life, but if there is dirt, you can just wipe it with a towel dipped in water.

You can also mix medical hydrogen peroxide and baking soda with water, and then perform targeted cleaning on stains, or give special treatment to the grouting where mites live. This is a special treatment for places with a lot of mites.

The mattress should be cleaned every 3 months, exposed to sunlight, and then turned over for use. This will effectively control mites. Only by controlling mites can we protect the health of our skin. I hope we can persist in this for a long time.

Use less cotton and linen

Many people lay carpets, hang curtains, and buy dolls for their children at home, but they don’t know that these are spaces where mites grow. These things are troublesome to clean, so it is recommended to use them less. Blinds can be used instead of curtains, and the commonly used fabric sofas at home can be replaced with leather sofas, which are not only durable but also easy to clean. Dolls should also be cleaned regularly to prevent them from being infected with mites.
