The most effective way to remove pillow mites

When we sleep, we should pay attention to creating a healthy and clean environment. For pillows that are used for a long time, we should also pay attention to regularly removing mites. The best way is to wash them at high temperature and expose them to the sun to kill the mites.

1: High temperature cleaning and exposure to the sun. Generally speaking, mites will die after 10 minutes of exposure to the sun. It is recommended to expose the quilt core and mattress to the sun for two to three hours every half a month. It is best to choose a time when the sun is strong from 11 to 15 o'clock. After drying, you should also beat the quilt to shake off the mites' body parts and excrement. Soaking in hot water above 55°C for 5 minutes can remove most allergens. It is recommended to wash sheets, quilt covers, pillowcases, etc. every two or three months.

2: Freeze. Pillows, cushions, and plush toys are not easy to clean. It is recommended to wrap them in plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator for 6 to 24 hours. The mortality rate of mites can reach 70%. Then expose them to the sun and pat them.

3: Dry and ventilated. The north is relatively dry, but people sweat when they sleep, and the water vapor exhaled creates a humid microclimate environment, which is conducive to the growth of mites. Therefore, open the windows for ventilation in time after getting up. Dehumidification boxes and dehumidifiers can be used in humid areas in the south. If the bedroom has its own bathroom, it is recommended to design a separate ventilation hole to prevent water vapor from spreading into the bedroom.

4: Use a vacuum cleaner to remove dust. Dust removal is an important means to eliminate mites. Vacuuming carpets, curtains, mattresses, etc. two or three times a week can effectively remove dust and mites.
