\"Mattress<\/a><\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s an alarming stat.<\/p>\n

You could expect to find around 10 million dust mites in the average bed [they love warm, moist environments]. They\u2019re harmless, but their droppings and body fragments can cause colds.<\/p>\n

And we haven\u2019t even touched on sweat and dead skin, another couple of perfectly natural hazards.<\/p>\n

However, you can do something about this. One of the best tips for having a clean mattress, apart from using a mattress protector<\/a>, is to get into a regular mattress-cleaning routine.<\/p>\n

Here are 9 habits to embrace:<\/p>\n

Habit #1:<\/strong> Change your bed sheets at least once every 2 weeks. You don\u2019t want to put dirty sheets on a clean mattress, do you? And when you change your sheets, leave them off all day \u2013 you\u2019d be surprised at how much this discourages bacterial growth.<\/p>\n

Habit #2:<\/strong> Rotate your mattress once a month to ensure even wear and tear.<\/p>\n

Habit #3:<\/strong> Similarly, flip your mattress once a quarter.<\/p>\n

Habit #4:<\/strong> Keep all liquids away from your bed. Liquids don\u2019t get on well with\u00a0mattresses, especially foam or memory mattresses, so it\u2019s best just to have a total liquid ban.<\/p>\n

Habit #5:<\/strong> Get a mattress protector. Ultimately, the more you can help prevent stains from reaching your mattress in the first place, the better.<\/p>\n

Habit #6:<\/strong> Vacuum your mattress. Just make sure you use a clean upholstery adapter, otherwise you risk bringing more bacteria to the party.<\/p>\n

Habit #7:<\/strong> Try and keep the temperature of your bedroom down, since mites and other bacteria love warm conditions.<\/p>\n

Habit #8:<\/strong> Get rid of any houseplants. They might be easy on the eye, but you\u2019re essentially giving insects, dust and pollen a free pass to do what they want.<\/p>\n

Habit #9:<\/strong> Air out your mattress on a regular basis. If it\u2019s a sunny day, you can even put you mattress outside and let the sun dry it out. This will help eradicate mold and mildew.<\/p>\n
