Can I wash the mat after summer?
You can wash the mat, but you should pay attention to the washing method.
Never wash the summer sleeping mat at home directly with cold water, because bacteria will not only be washed away, but also form more bacteria. Wipe with warm water before use, and then dry in the shade. If the bamboo mat is bigger than the bed or uneven, it will break easily. Therefore, when placing bamboo mats, the bed board should be kept flat. In addition, it is best to wipe the bamboo mat with warm water before and after going to bed every day, which will make the bamboo mat turn red in advance and make it cooler to sleep.
How to clean the mat
Boiling method
High temperature is an effective sterilization method, especially in summer, when sleeping mats are used for a long time, many sleeping mats will breed mites, which are invisible to the naked eye but harmful to our health. High temperature can kill them.
The method of boiling water is simple. As long as the mat is soaked in boiling water for a while, repeated several times can achieve a more objective sterilization effect. However, it needs to be reminded that although boiling water has a good bactericidal effect, not all summer sleeping mats can be used. Soft and broken materials like straw sleeping mats are not suitable for washing with boiling water.
Alcohol method
Although the scalding method recommended above has the effect of killing mites, it can't be completely sterilized. Alcohol is used at this time. It is common sense that alcohol can sterilize. After cleaning the floor mat with boiling water and drying it, you can wipe the alcohol on its surface several times. On the one hand, it can be sterilized with alcohol, on the other hand, it can make use of the rapid evaporation of alcohol to make the floor mat work better.
Alcohol disinfection has a wide range of applications, and sleeping mats used at home can generally be wiped and cleaned with alcohol. But when buying wine, you should choose medical alcohol instead of industrial alcohol.
Salt water immersion method
Another way to clean the mat is to soak it in salt water, because there are many bacteria on the mat. Soaking in salt water will dehydrate and die. Whether it is a used mat or a newly bought mat, you can soak it in salt water for a while, then scrub it with water, and finally air dry naturally. Do not expose the mat soaked in salt water after cleaning, which will damage the internal fibers and reduce the service life of the mat.
Does the mat need to be washed often?
Sleeping mats in summer should be washed once a week or two.
In summer, the human body is prone to sweating, dander and dust easily enter the gap of the mat, and the environment is humid, which is easy to breed mites. Therefore, it is best to "scrub one day and dry one week" during the use of the mat. Mosquitoes are very active in summer. If you sleep on an unclean mat with mites, erythema or papules may appear on the parts of your body that touch the mat. Therefore, the floor mat must be cleaned and disinfected before the first use every year, and it should be cleaned regularly during use.
