Have you heard the new scare tactic by mattress and furniture companies? They're claiming if your mattress is over 8 years old it's likely filled with dead skin, sweat, and bugs. Are you falling for that? My mattress is about 8 years old and I like the old stank thing - I haven't seen any dead skin or bugs yet - have you?
I think one of the best ways to prevent bugs in a mattress is to put those mattress protectors on it. I have an old mattress, but I left the cellophane wrapper on it. I have had it over 10 years and it looks brand new.
ReplyDeleteSteam cleaning is also another options to get rid of bacteria, bugs and dirt.
The mattress can also be left outside in the summer to air out.
