Would an air purifier help?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here are a few tips on how to improve this situation. Follow our advice to eliminate unpleasant odors from your child&#8217;s bedroom. <\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>WASH YOUR CHILD&#8217;S SPORTS CLOTHES AND EVERYDAY CLOTHES MORE OFTEN<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Is your child actively involved in sports? Has your child reached their teens? Then their worn clothes probably smell unpleasant! A growing body\u2019s sweat contains more protein and fat, and when bacteria get into it, it causes the sweat to smell. Good personal hygiene and washing their clothes more frequently can already yield pretty good results.    <\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\" start=\"2\">\n<li>WASH YOUR CHILD&#8217;S BED LINEN TWICE A WEEK<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Most people don\u2019t wash their bedding as often as they should (at least once a week). A person sweats more than 100 liters into their bed each year, so it\u2019s important to keep your bedding clean! When your children wake up in the morning, ask them to make their beds. This helps air out the comforter and sheets. It prevents bacteria from accumulating in the bedding and the resulting odor until the next time you change the sheets.    <\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\" start=\"3\">\n<li>PROTECT YOUR MATTRESS<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Buy your child a mattress cover that prevents body fluids and dead skin cells from seeping into the mattress fibers (wash it every few months!). If your child\u2019s mattress is more than 10 years old, buy a new one. Old mattresses contain a lot of microbes and dust mites.  <\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\" start=\"4\">\n<li>DRY WASHED CLOTHES AND USE A CLOTHES DRYER IF NECESSARY<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s a good idea to dry clothes in direct sunlight, where ultraviolet rays kill many bacteria. If your home is damp all the time or from time to time, we recommend using a dehumidifier. A good solution is the Swedish brand <a href=\"https:\/\/proair.ee\/koik-tooted\/ohukuivati-arctus-fenja-20\/\">Arctus Fenja 20<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/proair.ee\/koik-tooted\/voimas-ohukuivati-arctus\/\">Arctus Fenja 25<\/a>. This way, you can prevent mold from forming on clothes and surfaces in your child\u2019s room.   <\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\" start=\"5\">\n<li>VENTILATE THE ROOM REGULARLY<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A child&#8217;s room needs to have plenty of oxygen. An open window also lets in fresh air and reduces the concentration of bacteria and mold. <\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\" start=\"6\">\n<li>USE A FAN OR AN AIR PURIFIER<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A fan and air purifier circulate the air in the child&#8217;s room, which improves the indoor climate and prevents musty odors.<\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\" start=\"7\">\n<li>RUN A DEHUMIDIFIER<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Moisture causes mold to grow and accumulate\u2014the musty smell caused by mold is usually difficult to remove, as it clings to carpets and fabrics. This problem can be easily remedied with a dehumidifier. Mold is also harmful to your child\u2019s health.  <\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\" start=\"8\">\n<li>CARPETS?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A carpet may feel nice under your feet, but it\u2019s a breeding ground for microbes and mold. If your child spills drinks or drops food on the carpet, or walks on it with dirty feet or shoes, In addition, if a sick child sneezes or coughs, pathogenic bacteria can end up on the carpet, making it more harmful than helpful in your home. If possible, avoid using carpet in your child\u2019s room. Furthermore, synthetic carpets release synthetic fibers into the air, which children inhale and absorb into their bodies.    <\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\" start=\"9\">\n<li>DO NOT ALLOW YOUR CHILD TO EAT IN THEIR ROOM.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s easy for a child to leave food scraps in their room or forget a half-eaten sandwich under the bed until they start to smell bad. They\u2019re also the perfect food for mold and bacteria. Establish a house rule that prohibits eating in the bedroom so your children don\u2019t attract pests to their room and keep their room cleaner.  <\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\" start=\"10\">\n<li>GET AN AIR PURIFIER FOR YOUR CHILD&#8217;S ROOM<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you care about your child\u2019s health and want their room to be clean and filled with fresh air, we recommend using a more powerful solution: an effective air purifier. An air purifier, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/proair.ee\/tootekategooria\/ohupuhastajad\/premiumklass\/\">COWAY<\/a>, features a filtration system that combats viruses and bacteria, removes allergens, synthetic fibers, and airborne chemicals from the air\u2014chemicals that come from cleaning products, interior furnishings, and building materials. Two <a href=\"https:\/\/proair.ee\/tootekategooria\/ohupuhastajad\/premiumklass\/\">Coway<\/a> air purifiers are enough to ensure a child\u2019s well-being and a healthy environment from infancy through college. We believe this is a good investment in a child\u2019s health and future.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dirty socks, sports gear, or the smell of a teenager&#8217;s sweat\u2014does your child&#8217;s room smell unpleasant?
