Mattress Care - Getting Rid of Dust Bunnies and Lint Fibers

We use our mattress every day for hours. During its regular use, the top layer of the mattress fabric can become worn. Lint fibres and dust bunny can end up all over and make the mattress look horrible. This natural wear occurs from the friction of bedding and the top of the mattress. Thankfully there are ways to manage it.

The best way to make your mattress look new again is with a fabric shaver and lint remover. Professional shaver equipment is recommended since has adjustable blade height and has features to prevent ruining your mattress from scratches. Regular shavers aren't recommended.

Essentially you need a clothing fabric shaver and a sticky lint brush. Remove all the bedding. Vacuum the mattress to remove loose fibres and some dirt. Test the shaver on an inconspicuous spot to test how it works first. Start at one corner of the mattress and shave off the lint fibres and bobbles.

Use the sticky lint brush to remove periodically. This ensures that you haven't missed any areas. This process should be repeated at least once a year. Keep in mind that regular wearing still occurs.

What's Hiding Under Your Bed?

There can be more than just monsters hiding under your bed. This place often gets overlooked when it comes to cleaning because it is often hard to access. A different array of materials can get stuck under here including, dust, dirt, fibers, hair and other particles.

 If this area isn't clean it can cause allergy irritations and can house pests. Thankfully you only have to clean under your bed every six months. There are also general cleaning techniques you can use to get rid of the dirt.

The easiest way to do a light cleaning is to use a vacuum with an extension piece. This lets you reach far under and get to the dirt.

If you don't have a vacuum handy try to sweep under the bed with a broom. This allows you to get some of the dirt out but is less effective than using a vacuum cleaner.

A basic way to get rid of dirt under the bed is to use a floor cloth or mop. To lightly disinfect and keep dust levels down you should use a bucket of cleaning water and a floor cloth or mop. The wet cloth will capture dust and fibers.

Ragweed Allergy Management

With the fall season upon us, it means a new allergy season involving ragweed. This plant's pollen peaks around mid-September and can be around until the end of October. This produces the usual allergy symptoms such as sneezing, congestion,  itchy throat and more. Here are ways to manage your allergy symptoms.

When you come home after being outside or traveling from work take a shower. This will remove the pollen spores from your person and prevent you from transferring them to other places in your home. Place your clothes in the laundry before showering if possible.

If you can place your clothes in the laundry before showering. Also, make sure to keep your clothes in a secluded place such as the laundry room. If you don't have room to keep them place them in a closed bag so the spores don't travel and irritate you. Never wear your outdoor clothes and sit on your bed and furniture either.

Some people may choose to wear a face mask to reduce hay fever symptoms. There are also allergy treatments available. These can come in the form of shots or be administered in a pill format. It helps desensitize the immune system and will greatly reduce allergy symptoms.
