What should I do if there are mites on the mat?

Mites are extremely resilient creatures that exist in large numbers in the environment where people live, and they feed on some human keratin fragments and skin oil secretions. However, mites are very harmful to the human body. They can cause many people to have symptoms of skin allergies, resulting in skin rashes and other phenomena, which are very painful. In summer, people like to lie on mats, which are places where mites gather in large numbers and need to be cleaned. Let's take a look at what to do if there are mites on the mats?

In recent years, it has been discovered that mites are closely related to human health. Mites such as gamasid mites, chiggers, scabies, demodectes, flour mites, dust mites and caterpillar mites can bite people to suck blood, invade the skin, cause "rosacea" or demodectic disease, allergies, urinary tract mites, pulmonary mites, intestinal mites and scabies, which seriously endanger human health. Children will develop rashes when they sleep on cool mats in the summer. This is caused by bites from mites in the mats.

The human body sweats easily in summer, and dandruff and dust can easily invade the gaps in the mat. In addition, the humid weather makes it easy for mat mites to breed and multiply, causing the mat to easily become moldy. Therefore, the mat should be wiped every day and kept dry. The room should be kept ventilated to prevent the human body from being easily infected and causing summer "matt dermatitis".

How to remove mites from mats :

Mite removal method 1 :

Prepare an electric iron, lay out the cool mat, put a wet towel on it, turn on the electric iron to about 60℃, and iron back and forth on the wet towel. The mites can be killed in about 10 minutes. However, the killed mites can also cause allergies in people, so it is best to soak the mat in water, wash it, and then dry it in the sun for an hour or two. After it is dried, pat it with your hands to let the mites fall off.

Mite removal method 2 :

Crush the mothballs with a hammer, sprinkle the crumbs evenly on the mat, then roll up the mat and cover the bed with it for an hour (you can close the door). After that, remove the mothballs and wipe the mat with a rag and clean water.

(Apply twice), then place the mat in the sun to allow the smell of the mothballs to evaporate as quickly as possible. Or use potassium permanganate solution to clean the mat. It is best to remove dandruff from the mat once a week.
