Make the bed every morning
For those who wonder if it is necessary to make the bed every morning , the answer is yes, but with some nuances.
According to recent studies, it is better not to make your bed immediately after getting up.
It is recommended to wait at least two hours for this. In this way, the heat and humidity that has accumulated in the bed during the night is dissipated and we avoid creating a dark, humid and warm paradise inside the bed, ideal for the growth of mites, fungi and others.
Another important practice to ensure the hygiene of your mattress is to open the windows before making the bed for at least 30 minutes, although ideally around an hour and shake sheets and pillows when making the bed.
You should also change your sheets every 1 to 2 weeks.
Remove blood stains from the mattress.
Of the different formulas that can be used to clean blood stains from a mattress, the best is to use hydrogen peroxide, as it breaks it down.
To do this you only need a cloth or cotton soaked in hydrogen peroxide.
Then rub the stain for a few minutes , let it sit until the mattress dries (no need to rinse).
Remember that hydrogen peroxide has bleaching power, so if your mattress has color, it is best to test it first in a small, discreet area to make sure it does not corrode the color.
