Anonymous domestic diva behind Mrs D’s Cleaning Reviews, a popular Instagram page, surely surprised at least a few of her 135,000 followers by publishing a pro-messy missive — revealing the gag reflex-inducing reason why rushing to tidy up “is something you need to stop doing.” “During the night we not only sweat but we also shed skin, and this is a magnet for dust mites & bed bugs,” she wrote. By being in a hurry to make your bed, you run the risk of trapping damp air under the covers, which helps the nasty creepy-crawlies to breed, the cleaning product expert said. According to Mrs. D, the best bet — which could end up protecting your health — is to “let your bed breathe” by keeping the covers down as long as possible. Mrs. D. recommends leaving bedding to air out for at least an hour each day. If you don’t have that much time before heading to work, don’t sweat it, she said. “Leave it till you get home, and make the bed then. At least you know it’s had a good airing.”
