Brilio.net - Bed mites are often an invisible but very annoying problem. These microscopic insects live in fabric fibers, especially in mattresses, pillows, and blankets, where they feed on human dead skin flakes.
Mites usually breed quickly in humid and rarely cleaned environments. Despite their small size, the presence of mites can cause major problems, such as itching, skin irritation, and even trigger allergies for some people.
The itchiness caused by mites is often mistaken for other insect bites or common skin reactions. In fact, this problem can get worse if the mattress is not cleaned properly immediately. In addition to itching, mites can also produce allergens in the form of their feces and body parts, which can be inhaled and worsen the condition for people with asthma or respiratory allergies.
Washing sheets and pillowcases with hot water, using a special vacuum cleaner, and drying the mattress in the sun are some effective ways to eradicate mites. In addition, you can also use other methods such as those used by YouTube user mina askun. In one of the videos uploaded, she admitted that she only relied on one simple tool to eradicate mites.

For a clearer process, first remove the sheet from the mattress. After that, turn on the iron and let it get really hot. Then when it's hot, immediately use the iron to rub the entire mattress. Don't forget to also rub a number of folds on the mattress to repel mites and kill their eggs.
