I’m sorry to tell you that your bed is gross. The average mattress “can harbor thousands of dust mites, which produce millions of mite feces,” Dr. Manal Mohammed, a medical microbiologist and senior lecturer at the University of Westminster in London, told HuffPost in a previous report.
These mites feed on your dead skin cells, sweat, food crumbs, and perspiration. In addition to the scary bugs, mattresses are also prone to mold and fungus growth due to their moisture-absorbing and warming properties.
It’s gross, sure, but don’t rush to burn your mattress just yet. Clean it the right way. One way to address the problem of germs before bed is to use a mattress vacuum with UV light, Mohammed said. These handheld devices glide over the surface of the bed, vibrating to loosen dust and sucking up time particles, trapping them in a HEPA filter.

This rechargeable handheld mattress vacuum features a UV germicidal light and powerful suction to easily suck up any leftover midnight snacks. It also comes with a hand-washable HEPA filter and a metal mesh pre-filter to minimize the frequency of cleaning.
Reviewer Kato says that despite some initial skepticism, the device is a steal. “To be honest, I thought it was such a waste since we change our sheets so often and I doubted the mattress was dirty,” he wrote.
“So when I used it to vacuum the mattress and a ton of dust was sucked into the filter, I couldn’t believe it. It actually works. Now I use it every time I change my sheets.”
Meanwhile, reviewer Abby Hibionada recommends this powerful furniture-cleaning gadget, especially for homes with pets. This is the perfect handheld vacuum to get everything on your furniture and mattress!” they wrote. “…it does a great job of cleaning up leftover dog hair that regular handheld vacuums can’t.
It has now become an essential cleaning tool in our home…and in between cleanings, it does a great job of keeping our bed dust-free. From the mattress to the pillows and everything!”
