Like many other families, my husband, children, and I also sleep on a mattress. And like everyone else, I thought the mattress was clean because it was covered with a mattress cover, so any dirt was only on the cover. So the mattress never gets cleaned from this day to that month, from this year to the next, and I am confident that my mattress is clean.

However, I was recently educated by my best friend about how dirty mattresses can actually be. It turns out that there are millions of tiny dust mite bugs crawling all over the mattress, feeding on dead skin cells and excreting allergens. This can lead to allergies, scabies, fever, cough, rhinitis, dry eyes, and even asthma.
To my horror, these dust mites can reproduce up to 100 eggs per day. The thought of them living and causing diseases on my supposedly clean mattress is truly terrifying.
After doing some research on how to clean the mattress, I decided to use a bottle of wine, much to my husband’s dismay. While I was spraying the wine on the mattress, my husband caught me in the act and was furious. He couldn’t believe that I would use his precious bottle of wine for such a purpose. I tried to explain, but he was not convinced.

However, that night, my husband admitted that the mattress no longer smelled and he didn’t feel itchy or irritated like before. He even praised me for being responsible.
So why does wine have such a “miraculous” effect? It’s because it contains alcohol, which is a powerful antibacterial agent. Spraying alcohol on the mattress can help eliminate dust mites, fleas, and other small bugs. After about four days of spraying, the mattress becomes not only clean but also free from bacteria, mites, and dust.
In addition, spraying alcohol on the mattress can also eliminate musty odors, and spraying it on the pillow can help prevent bed bugs. However, it’s important not to use it too often.
