Measures to prevent mattress from being damp and moldy

1, open the window for ventilation

The mattress is damp and moldy because the indoor humidity is too high. At this time, opening more windows for ventilation can reduce the humidity in the house and reduce the mildew.

Step 2 choose the right bed

Bed plays a decisive role in the air permeability of mattress. Yu Yan suggested choosing a sparerib bed, which will help to ventilate the mattress and prevent bacteria from breeding in the mattress.

Step 3 be exposed to the sun

If possible, exposing the sheets to the sun regularly can reduce the humidity of the mattress and prevent the growth of bacteria.

4. Desiccant

Placing mothballs in the mattress, keeping the periphery of the mattress dry, or baking the interior of the mattress with high-temperature incandescent lamps can effectively prevent the mattress from becoming moldy.

Mattress maintenance measures

1, flip periodically.

In the first year of purchase and use, the new mattress should be rotated back and forth or around the corner every two to three months to make the spring of the mattress bear uniform force, and then it can be turned over once every six months.

Step 2 be decent

Do a good job in the hygiene of bedding and dry it often. If the mattress is stained, it can be drained with toilet paper or cloth, and it should not be washed with water or detergent.

3. Avoid lying in bed after bathing or sweating, and don't use electrical appliances or smoke in bed.

Don't always sit on the edge of the bed or in the corner.

Because the four corners of the mattress are the most fragile, sitting on the edge of the bed for a long time is easy to damage the edge spring prematurely.
