Like most bedding and furniture, memory foam truly shines when given regularly scheduled cleanings. Here’s why:
It extends the lifespan
At some point, your memory foam is going to wear out. But with proper, scheduled care, you can push that date years down the road. WIth regular cleaning and care, memory foam can last up to 10 years!
It reduces dust mites
The last thing you want on your mind as you’re drifting off to sleep is dust mites. Regularly vacuuming your memory foam items sends worries about dust mites straight into the trash can.
It provides you with a clean place to sleep
Let’s face it: our beds can get real dirty if we let them. Considering how sweaty, sheddy, and flakey humans are, it makes sense that we should clean our beds regularly. By cleaning memory foam items alongside all of your other bedding, you’re keeping everything clean together, instead of leaving one item — probably the dirtiest one! — untouched.
It removes and helps to prevent mold and mildew
Humans naturally sweat while they sleep. And because our mattresses don’t get tons of air, they can trap in that moisture and start to grow mildew. By regularly vacuuming and airing out your memory foam, you can prevent and remove odor and mildew before it stinks up the room.
It improves the air quality of your room
Do you ever cough or sneeze right after fluffing up your pillows or comforter? Are your allergies worse at night? That probably means there are tons of tiny bacteria, dust mites, dust, mold spores, and other microscopic allergens nesting in your bed with you. Taking care of your mattress and other memory foam items helps remove these allergens and freshen up your room.
