Making your bed may be a quintessential part of your morning routine, but experts have revealed why it might be better to skip this chore.
What are dust mites? Miniscule creatures about a quarter of a millimetre long, dust mites thrive in warm, humid hotspots like bed sheets. The moisture and heat allow millions of these tiny insects to live within your bedding. Dust mites feast on dead skin cells which fall from our bodies. Simply leaving your bed sheets unmade for 30 minutes or one hour can starve dust mites, removing many of them from your bedding. This period will allow moisture and sweat obtained overnight to be released from your bed. The lack of moisture and vulnerability to the air means this quick and easy task will make your bedroom a healthier environment.
