Bedroom cleanliness: how to look after our personal refuge

The bedroom is where we rest and recharge our batteries. But the deeper we go into winter, the more demanding the need for a clean, healthy and welcoming sleeping space becomes, since, because of the low temperatures, we may not air the room as often as we should.

Even so, with lingering humidity rising and dust mites multiplying, neglecting the bedroom can directly affect the quality of your sleep, and so the rest you enjoy!

Deep cleaning the mattress

Get rid of dust mites, dust and allergens with a deep clean of your mattress. Use a vacuum cleaner with a special fabric attachment and make sure to clean all sides of the mattress thoroughly. Once every 2 months is enough.

Washing blankets and duvets

Winter calls for fresh, clean blankets and duvets. Make sure to wash them at a high temperature to remove germs and dust mites. If the weather allows, hang them out in the sun for an even better result.

Refreshing your pillows

Pillows collect moisture and dust. If you cannot wash them, make sure to shake them out well in fresh air or replace them with new ones. Clean pillows contribute to healthier sleep.

Cleaning the curtains

Did you know that curtains collect dust and allergens? Wash your curtains and let the sunlight into the bedroom. Their freshness will not become a source of microorganisms and, as a result, will contribute to the healthy feel the room gives off.

Dusting everywhere

Do not forget to dust the furniture, the lamps and the decorative items. A clean environment helps reduce allergies and keeps your bedroom pleasant.

A touch of fragrance

Why not use natural essential oils, such as lavender or eucalyptus, to give the room a soft and relaxing feel? A few drops in an aroma diffuser are enough to transform the atmosphere.

A tip from the sleep experts at ORION Strom: The hygiene of your sleeping mattress is the foundation of good sleep. Invest in a quality mattress that is easy to keep clean and stands the test of time. With a little extra care, your bedroom will become the ultimate refuge for the cold winter nights.
