<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Mattress Cleaners Reduce Allergens
According to KenSavage.Com, mattress cleaners are essential for removing unwanted dander that attracts dust mites. Mattress cleaners also help remove dead dust mites and their droppings, which can cause allergic reactions in people. In addition, mattress cleaners help to remove drink, blood and food stains that may accidentally stain the mattress, cutting down on bacteria where you sleep. Some mattress cleaners--used by professionals--may also stem bed bug infestations, according to the University of Kentucky's College of Agriculture.
On the Other: Mattress Cleaners Can Be Harmful
According to an article in StreetDirectory.Com, some mattress cleaners may contain pesticides which can be toxic to children and pets, especially if the mattress cleaner is not used according to directions.
Bottom Line
Mattress cleaners are beneficial to the cleanliness of your sleeping environment as well as your overall health provided they are used according to the instructions. Read labels carefully before applying mattress cleaners to your mattress.
