Why does a quilt have a special smell after drying? Is it related to mites?

In daily life, many people are not resistant to some special smells, such as the smell of gasoline, the smell of mud after rain, and the smell of drying quilts. In recent days, southerners have finally endured a month of wet and cold weather, ushered in the scorching sun, and many people have taken out their quilts outside to dry. I believe everyone has noticed that the quilt after drying can always smell a special fragrance, the older generation often say that this is the smell of the sun, but some people say that this is the smell of mites after being scorched by the sun, is this true?

Clause. 1. Mites are a kind of small animals, most of the species are less than one millimeter, they are everywhere in life, there are more than 50,000 species known at present, some of which mites will also have an impact on humans, common scabies mites, dust mites, hair follicle mites, etc. Surveys show that about 97% of adults are infected with mites, with adult mites accounting for the highest percentage.

They are distributed on carpets, sofas, plush toys, bedding, etc., and feed on Ant-Man's sweat, secretions, and shedding dander, and reproduce extremely quickly.

Clause. Second, the scabies mite mainly parasitizes the human body, feeding on keratin tissue, which will cause itching and flushing, resulting in acne, acne scars, acne and other problems. Their corpses, secretions, and excreta are pathogenic allergens that can easily cause symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, and wheezing if they come into contact with them.

Infected people usually feel like worms crawling all over their body or somewhere, and this sensation can even appear in the ear canal and mouth. Although this symptom will disappear after a few days or weeks, it is not a cure, but a relief, and it will appear more often after**, which makes people shudder. This is also the main reason why many people pay great attention to mite removal.

Clause. 3. Some experts have found that nearly 70%-80% of the components in a mite are water, and the rest are some proteins, fats and other organic matter. If the smell of the quilt is really the smell of burnt mites, then the smell should be the same as the smell of burnt hair.

In addition, it is only possible to kill the mites in the quilt when the sun temperature reaches 50 degrees Celsius. Obviously, when drying the quilt, the temperature of the sun has not reached such a high degree, and once the sun temperature is too high, the mites will not wait for death, but will already run away. Therefore, the taste after drying the quilt basically has nothing to do with mites.

It does not matter. Mites are relatively resistant to high temperatures, and these smells are mainly caused by chemical reactions with cotton after exposure to the sun.

Because there is a lot of air in the quilt, this air will produce a smell at this time after it is dried at high temperatures. It has nothing to do with mites.

Because the cotton in the quilt has been sunburned, it will have the smell of cotton butter, which has nothing to do with mites.

The sun-dried quilt does not smell of roasted mites, but the smell of dead microorganisms mixed with the smell of ozone.

Although the quilt contains a large number of mites and needs to be dried frequently, 80% of the mites are water, and the other parts are mainly composed of protein, so it is not the taste of mites.

Quilts and cotton clothes contain a lot of microorganisms, including fungi, bacteria, viruses and mites and other small parasites, but also contain a lot of water, oxygen, etc., in the high temperature of the sun water will evaporate, under the irradiation of ultraviolet rays, fungi, viruses and parasites will be killed, a little oxygen chemical bonds break to form ozone, microbial remains and ozone have a taste, and lack of water absorption, therefore, the quilt after the sun has a "sun smell".

No. When drying quilts, the heating effect of sunlight and ultraviolet rays will break the chemical bonds of oxygen in the quilt, forming ozone. The fibers in the quilt from plants or animals are heated and mixed with the smell formed by ozone, creating a "sun smell".

When mites are exposed to the sun, they emit a scorching odor.

Mites are mainly composed of water and protein, which will disappear if exposed to the sun, and the protein will emit a burnt odor.

When mites are exposed to sunlight, they produce a smell that is different from what is usually called "sun smell".

The smell of drying a quilt is not the smell of mites.

When drying the quilt, the action of sunlight and ultraviolet rays will make the quilt produce a good "sun smell", which is because the quilt has been exposed to the sun for a long time, and the fibers are broken down and mixed with the ozone smell.

Many mites do not die from drying, and even if the mites die, they do not produce this smell.

To remove mites from the quilt, you need to prepare: water, lemon, salt, small bowl, white vinegar, chopsticks, and watering can.

1. First of all, take out the salt and a small bowl, and pour the salt into the small bowl.

2. Add the lemon juice to a small bowl.

3. Pour the white vinegar into a small bowl.

4. Pour the water into a small bowl.

5. Next, stir with chopsticks and mix well.

6. Pour the liquid in the small bowl into the watering can, shake evenly and use.

7. Spray the liquid in the watering can evenly on the surface of the quilt.

8. Finally, the mites on the quilt can be removed.

Mites removal method:

1. Use a hair dryer to blow the quilt, be careful not to burn the quilt.

2. Soak the quilt cover with laundry detergent and hot water higher than 60 degrees.

3. Keep the room ventilated and dry, and clean the indoor dust frequently. It's best not to use a humidifier. The air conditioner is particularly prone to mites, so it is best to clean it up.

4. Take a bath frequently, wash your face and clothes, and wash your laundry in the sun. And dry.

5. Mites like humid, suitable temperature, cotton and linen fabrics or gray soil, and the hot and humid environment is the season when mites develop and reproduce the most, which will become floating objects in the air, which will cause a series of allergic reactions after being inhaled by sensitive people. Therefore, drying and ventilation is the best way to eliminate them.

Note: 1. Mattresses and pillows should be packed and stored with dust cloths.

2. Put all the quilt covers and sheets into hot water about 60 per month to kill the mites hiding in them.

3. Do not lay carpets in the bedroom, but lay floor tiles or wooden floors.

4. Mop the floor with a wet mop every day.

What should I do if it is too troublesome to dry the quilt often? Teach you a little trick to get rid of mites without drying the quilt.

Ultraviolet rays can kill insects and sterilize, you can install a fixed ultraviolet lamp or a movable ultraviolet disinfection lamp, and disinfect and sterilize regularly, about 15 minutes each time, but remember that people can not be in the room when sterilizing, because there will be radiation that is not good for health.

Hello, according to your situation, it is recommended that you use a vacuum cleaner with a mite removal brush, this is the most convenient way.

Drying quilts is not a long-term solution!! To take the right measures to remove mites in order to fundamentally solve the problem, the fastest and safest way is to use a mite vacuum cleaner to remove mites, for some inconvenient, less time is the most suitable, love to ask home appliances ** on the market several vacuum cleaners with mite removal function, very convenient.

Change the quilt often, and put some mothballs when not in use.

Remember to change the quilt cover often.

Don't fold the quilt immediately when you get up in the morning, the quilt is reversed, hang it for a while, shake the quilt, and fold it again! In this way, you can reduce the growth of mites compared to folding the quilt directly when you get up!

Try to dry the quilt as much as possible.

It's okay to buy a purple lamp and take a photo

Yes, that's the smell. And the smell is particularly unpleasant. I felt very nauseous.

I think this is the smell of the mites being burned, because everyone will think that there will be a smell after drying the quilt, and this is because the temperature of the sun is too high, and the mites are scorched and sunburned.

This is not the smell of burnt mites, because the cotton inside the quilt will have a cotton smell after drying. It's not the smell of burning.

No, because the sun shines on the quilt, the temperature gradually rises, and materials such as cotton and polyester produce some odors because of the increase in temperature, not just the smell of burnt mites.

Hello, not the components of mites are protein and water, water to occupy eighty percent. After the quilt is exposed to the sun, the mites may change and turn into water vapor, and a small part of the protein will be scorched, which may produce a burnt odor. It can be explained from this that the smell of sunlight that appears after the quilt is not the smell of mite corpses.

The smell of sunlight is the formation of ozone due to the chemical reaction between sunlight heating and ultraviolet rays. In addition, the smell of the quilt material is heated, and when combined, it becomes the smell of sunlight. The smell is roughly the same as when a doctor has shone a UV lamp on a quilt.

It's completely different from what everyone thinks, so don't think too much about the loss.
