Do you sweep your bed?

I just change my sheets. I never thought that anything would get on my mattress. I don't turn back my top sheet so I maybe ok.

Wow.. I never knew that... I never clean my bedroom... Usually my mom does it for me.. Around once a week..

Well, you just gave me the urge to bleach my sheets and lysol the hell out of my matress, after I call in the guys with the nuclear suits to disinfect and clean my bed for me lol. I have allergies and I know matresses have tons of dustmites, but I honesly never thought of sweeping it. I flip it every so often. You think vaccumming might do the trick?

Yes!Once a week and twice a year we take them outside and give both sides a good pounding with broom handles

yes, I do this every week. It is gross to think of how much stuff is on the mattress that you can't see! My daughter is allergic to dust mites so we have to clean alot. It must not be that bedbugs are too big of a deal as people years ago didn't go to the trouble of sweeping their beds. I think it is just that we are more self concious of it now.

6 billion, really? Didn't know that one. I do it occasionally because I have heard somewhere that you should, but not on a regular basis. What I do instead is spray the matress with Febreeze, which is supposed to kill live mold and such. I wonder if anyone else does that?

I just did it yesterday actually. I change the bed sheets, pillow sheets as well as the blanket sheets to new one. I actually change it once a month and every weekend I clean the bed.

I never heard of sweeping your bed. I change the sheets weekly and I shake them every morning. I have a foam mattress on top of my regular mattress and I shake it every morning while fluffing the sheets. When I change the sheets I flip the foam mattress. I never really thought about why I did this other than I didn't want the foam to get a dent in it.

Oh my 6 million dust mites...sheesh and to think We've been sleeping with those dust mites all these days..lol I usually tap my bed to get rid of surface dust, I think I should start sweeping too!Thanks for the info, and I love your avatar..very cute:)

Well this is a very good question for me, because i never do that in my whole life. just changing a bed sheet for every week is very good job for me. Hmmm i wonder why do you sweep your bed when you can just vacuum your bed so easily. Vacuum is much more reliable than sweep right?

I don't run a sweeper over my bed. But I do change my bed sheets every week. Does that count? :P

You Hog I have never really done this. But it does make perfect since when you think about it. I will from now on be running the vacuum over my bed from time to time. Thank you.

OMG - are you serious? Over 6 BILLION dust mites in a typical mattress? That is just so disgusting! Now I am going to have to vaccuum my mattress. Someone else was just asking that too! Either that or I want to buy a new mattress!

i knew that info you talk about but don't want to think about thanks ,I may have nightmares now lol!I dust it off and change sheets alot.Hey HogHoney!
