When the weather is changing seasons and humid, the bedroom space easily becomes stuffy and has an unpleasant odor. The reason is that the habit of closing doors and using air conditioning continuously will make the room stuffy, stuffy, accompanied by unpleasant odors that reduce air quality.
This is also one of the mistakes and a potential cause of respiratory diseases for family members.
Close the window
Many families have a habit of closing windows day and night to keep the air conditioner warm and dry the room. This is a mistake that makes air flow difficult, leading to the accumulation of CO2 and moldy odors.
Air hanging around for a long time will create conditions for bacteria to grow quickly. Therefore, take advantage of opening windows early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the temperature drops to help the bedroom always be cool and reduce unpleasant odors.
Do not change bed sheets
When the weather changes, the body secretes a lot of sweat and dead cells. If you do not change bed sheets periodically, dirt will accumulate deep in the fabric of the bed or pillow, becoming an environment for bacteria to multiply.
This is the cause of odors in the bedroom. Maintain washing bed sheets and pillows at least twice a month and prioritize using cotton material to increase ventilation.
Abuse of fragrances
Many housewives often have a habit of using room spray or scented candles to mask the smell. However, combining too many synthetic fragrances in closed spaces such as bedrooms will irritate the respiratory system.
Choose to use natural scents such as grapefruit peel, lemongrass essential oil or place green plants to help filter air to deodorize more safely and effectively.
Ignoring cleaning equipment
Air conditioner filters and curtains are the places that accumulate the most fine dust and bacteria in the bedroom. After a period of use, air conditioners are often stained, which will blow out unclean air and emit a foul odor.
Similarly, curtains are also a place to store fine dust and odors in a closed space. Periodic cleaning of equipment and items not only brings fresh air but also helps the bedroom stay clean and airy to prepare for the hot summer.
