You cannot see dust mites in your innerspring mattress since these creatures are invisible to the naked eye. But if you have been sleeping on your mattress for more than a year now, there is probably an army of dust mites breeding in your mattress already.
Some of the possible illnesses triggered by infestation of dust mites are having itchy skin characterized by tiny lesions and rashes, swollen eyelids, sneezing and wheezing, sinusitis, and irritated eyes. In worst cases, it can lead to depression and mental fatigue. These are only temporary conditions that will be cured once the mites are gone. But the symptoms are magnified if you are hypersensitive to them. Regularly cleaning your mattress can keep the number of these creatures at a minimum. Here are some tips on how you can get rid of the mites from your innerspring mattress.
Sealy Crib Mattress
1. Take your mattress to an open area and put it on a clean platform. Do not clean it in your room because the mites will only come back. Get your vacuum cleaner and vacuum away. Remove as much dust as possible.
2. Now prepare a mixture of lemon juice and water. Mix one cup of lemon juice and two cups of lukewarm water. Dilute the lemon juice carefully. Put the solution in a spray bottle. Spray the solution on all sides of the mattress. The scent of lemon juice will scare mites away in the same way this solution will scare fleas away from a dog. Leave the solution there for at least one hour.
3. Dampen a clean towel and wring out the excess water. Wipe it on the surface of the mattress only. This should get rid of the lemon juice solution and smell.
4. Sprinkle baking soda liberally on all sides of the mattress. It will help diffuse the mattress odor, get rid of excess moisture and disinfect the mattress. Let it sit there for another hour.
5. Vacuum it again and make sure no baking soda residues are left. Allow it to dry completely under the warmth of the sun. The sun's UV rays should also help in removing dust mites, allergens and bacteria from your mattress.
Doing these steps at least two times a year already helps. But if you have a dust mite allergy, do this at least once a month. Nothing beats sleeping on a fresh and clean mattress.
