Maintain Mattress Freshness

Humans spend at least a third of their lives sleeping on the mattress. In addition, many people use the mattress as a table and place books and computers on it. Some people even eat food on the bed while watching TV and others have their pets sleep on it. Even though the bedroom may appear to be the cleanest place in the home it is also a magnet for debris and human skin. Dead cells from human skin collect in large amounts on the mattress and most people are unaware of this problem. The collection of dirt and debris is many times worse if you have pets sleeping on your mattress. Finally dust mites are present on all mattresses and thrive when the conditions are warm and humid.
