The Mattress: The Dirtiest Object in the House?

We often think about disinfecting our door handles, cutting boards, or bathrooms. Yet, the mattress ranks among the most contaminated items in the home.

Surprising statistics:

• A study conducted in the UK showed that a mattress used for 5 years contains more bacteria than a toilet bowl.

• 1 in 3 Canadians has never had their mattress cleaned, even after 7 years of use.

• On average, a mattress contains over 500 different types of microorganisms, some linked to skin and respiratory infections.

• An adult sheds about 300,000 dead skin cells every night, all absorbed by bedding… especially the mattress.

Hygiene comparison:

• Remote control: 11,000 bacteria/cm²

• Phone: 25,000 bacteria/cm²

• Mattress (middle area): over 60,000 bacteria/cm² after 2 years without cleaning

So why do we continue to neglect cleaning the piece of furniture where we spend one-third of our lives?
