Did you know that the average South African spends about 480 minutes a day in bed? That’s 56 hours a week or 2912 hours a year – a staggering third of your life! With all that time spent sleeping, watching movies, or scrolling through social media, it’s surprising how little attention we often give to mattress hygiene. If we’re investing so much of our lives in our beds, why aren’t we more proactive about keeping them clean? SANIC recognised this need and developed effective solutions for mattress cleaning. Here’s why prioritising to clean your mattress is essential, backed by some eye-opening facts.
Why your mattress deserves attention:
- Fungus and fluids: Our bodies naturally lose fluids, especially sweat, while we sleep. Over time, these fluids seep into the mattress, creating an ideal environment for mould and fungi. Prevention is key here—once mould takes hold, getting rid of it is incredibly difficult.
- Bacteria and odours: Mattresses can become breeding grounds for bacteria due to their warm and damp conditions. This not only leads to unpleasant odours but can also pose health risks. A clean mattress helps mitigate these issues effectively.
- Dust accumulation: Dust is a mix of pollen, dirt, hair, dead skin, and textile fibres. It travels around your home and easily settles into your mattress. Regular cleaning can help reduce this accumulation, contributing to a healthier sleeping environment.
- Dust mites: Believe it or not, we shed kilograms of dead skin over the years, providing a feast for dust mites—microscopic creatures that thrive in our beds. Their presence can aggravate allergies and asthma, making regular cleaning essential for your health.
- Bed bugs: These tiny pests love to hide in the dark corners of our mattresses, feeding on our blood and leaving itchy, swollen bites. Regular cleaning helps keep bed bugs at bay and allows for early detection of infestations.
