Is your asthma playing up again? Are you unable to get rid of that nasty tickle in your throat or your red eyes?
It might be because your bed is old and you are sleeping on a dirty mattress. There is a direct link between people suffering bad allergies or asthma problems and sleeping on a dirty mattress. Dust mites feed off dead skin cells, which means that your dirty mattress (layered with dead skin cells) is the ideal home for these tiny creatures – and their droppings contain a protein that is an allergen which sets off asthma.Many studies have been conducted on the subject of how a dirty mattress and ill health happen to connect.
It has been shown that there are some nasty germs that reside in your resting place – the likes of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which are contaminants that trigger sickness and diarrhoea. Even hospitals have been under the proverbial microscope as mattresses and bedding have been cited as being part and parcel of the cause of hospital-acquired infections.

Professional cleaning specialists suggest that mattresses are regularly vacuumed so as to remove the build-up of dead skin cells, the infestation of dust mites and any other organisms that have made their home in your mattress. These include mould and if you have animals, fleas – all of which are a health hazard. Furthermore, it is advisable to have all your mattresses deep-cleaned on an annual basis. This is the only way to tackle the dirt and organisms that have burrowed below the surface of the mattress.Mattress cleaning might sound like a hassle, but a professional service provider should offer both a dry or wet extraction option.
In other words, if you need to use your mattress right away you can have it cleaned via a dry powder method or if you are able to wait out the process, you can opt for the wet extraction method.
