Mites feed on the dander shed by the human body and prefer a warm and humid environment, and if the bed sheets they sleep on are not washed in time, they will breed a large number of mites.
These mites can cause skin problems such as allergies, itching, and acne.
If you find that you have small bumps on your body inexplicably, it is likely that mites are causing trouble, and the reproduction rate of mites is extremely fast, and the cycle is about 14 days, so it is best not to change the bed sheets for more than 14 days.

In addition to human secretions, dust and bacteria in the air can also attach to bed sheets, especially in poorly ventilated rooms, which tend to absorb these particles, resulting in darkening and yellowing of color.
