Mattress cleaning reduces allergies

For health it is important to have your mattress cleaned regularly. It is better for everyone to sleep on a clean mattress. This is definitely recommended for when you regularly suffer from allergies. An allergy, in any form, is a hypersensitivity reaction of the immune system to harmless substances, such as dust mites, fungi, pollen or dander of (pets). These substances contain a type of protein called allergens. An allergy to these substances causes physical complaints such as sneezing, watery and itchy eyes and can even lead to shortness of breath. That is why Clean Bedz Aruba emphasizes that it is relevant for people with hypersensitivity to allergens to have the mattress cleaned regularly.

Asthma

An asthma attack is characterized by inflammation or narrowing of the airways and increases the irritability of the airways. If an asthma attack occurs, it is because irritating substances are inhaled. This often causes shortness of breath, wheezing and coughing up mucus. An asthma attack, like most allergic reactions, is caused by cats, dust mites, grass pollen, smoke, cold or exercise. The severity of the complaints varies per person, but no matter how serious the complaints are, it cannot hurt anyone to chase the allergens out of the mattress. The cleaner the mattress, the less the symptoms of shortness of breath.

Hay fever

For many people, the arrival of the dry months means that they suffer from hay fever. For them this is characterized by sneezing fits, itchy and red eyes, jitters in the throat and in severe cases it even leads to asthma. The pollen that causes an allergic reaction is carried away by wind currents and can thus easily blow in through open windows. Without you noticing, the pollen from flowers and plates gets on your mattress, so you can also suffer from hay fever indoors. There is not (yet) a cure for hay fever, but there are ways to limit the allergic reactions. A deep cleaning of the mattress by Clean Bedz Aruba in the dry season will immediately reduce allergic complaints.

​

COPD

COPD is the collective name for the chronic lung diseases bronchitis and emphysema and results in severe shortness of breath. COPD is in the top three of most common lung diseases in Aruba. This allergy ensures that the lungs always suffer from small inflammations, which cause permanent damage. This damage causes a shortage of breath during physical exertion.

The symptoms of COPD are severe tightness of the chest, cough, shortness of breath and fatigue. Although COPD cannot be cured, a clean living environment is still very important for COPD patients. In addition, you spend an average of eight hours a day on a mattress. Having your mattress cleaned ensures that you are less short of breath and that the tightness decreases.

Eczema

Eczema is the collective name for all kinds of skin conditions, with allergic contact eczema being the most common. The cause of this allergic contact eczema is a reaction of the skin to a certain substance and often lasts a lifetime. Eczema is an inflammatory reaction of the skin that is activated by certain allergens. Eczema often applies to inhalation allergens. These enter during breathing through the mouth and skin. Think of dust mites, pollen and dander of animals. Dust mites penetrate deep into the mattress and cause eczema spots in people with a skin condition. To reduce these allergic reactions (prevention is impossible), it is important to have your mattress cleaned once in a while.
