In Poland, 40 percent are allergic to various allergens. people. Half of this is allergic to house dust mites. This means that in the case of every fifth Pole we are talking about such hypersensitivity. And these people should take care of the bedding. Dust dust mites and their excrement, which go to our beds, can cause skin changes, as well as problems with the respiratory system – says Piotr Dąbrowiecki in an interview with « Fakt ».

Every two weeks it does it 30 percent, every three 16 percent, and once a month 7 percent.

Replacement of the sheet. How often?
When it comes to replacing sheets, statistics for American men are even worse. On average, they waited over 10 days longer for replacement of sheets than women.
