The dangers of poorly maintained bedding
If you do not wash your bedding regularly, dust mites and bacteria will have free access. These invaders can cause allergic reactions, itching and even skin irritation. Your bed can then become a real source of problems for your skin and airways.
Worse still, mites settle easily in mattresses and pillows. They are invisible to the naked eye, feed on dead cells and multiply at the speed of lightning. It is therefore essential to clean the litter properly so that it remains healthy and clean.
