Science Says: Messy Beds Are Healthier!

It’s not a joke, now you’ve got an excuse for not making the bed…

“Something as simple as leaving a bed unmade during the day can remove moisture from the sheets and mattress so the mites will dehydrate and eventually die.”

Cool, no more making beds, that’s one chore off the list! Who are we to argue with science…
