Does the quilt basked in the sun really smell like mites? If you think so, you're wrong.

Abstract: we all know that basking in the sun is a very comfortable thing, basking in the warm sun is good for the body and beneficial to health, but it does not mean that the noon sun is hotter and ultraviolet rays are more intense. at this time, the sun is more suitable for drying the quilt, because it is said that the ultraviolet rays of the noon sun can kill the mites on the quilt and make the quilt more dry and soft, at the same time The quilt that has been exposed to the sun will also produce a "reassuring" flavor.

Perhaps at this time, some people will wonder how this reassuring taste came into being. Many reports have pointed out that this smell is actually the taste produced by the sun killing mites, but there is no scientific basis for this. Mite his body is mainly composed of water, while other parts are protein, and we know that water is tasteless, but the smell produced by protein scorched by the sun should be bad smell. It's not the usual taste of quilts after being baked by the sun.

There is also an explanation that the quilt baked in the sun absorbs fresh air and can also bake the moisture on the quilt clean, while most quilts are made of cotton, and the vapour belt that evaporates after losing moisture has the smell of plants, so the quilt dried in the sun will have the smell of so-called "peace of mind".

Let's not say how upright this taste is, but it is true that a sunburned quilt can kill mites, so how can we kill mites thoroughly? some netizens commented that you can use your own black garbage bag. Put the quilt inside, seal the mouth of the bag, and then expose it in the sun, so that the temperature in the bag will continue to rise. After 2 to 3 hours of exposure, the mites will be killed. This is to use the principle of black heat absorption to remove mites at high temperature.

But the editor does not agree with this netizen's method. First of all, he put the quilt in a plastic bag and exposed it to the sun. Although mites can be killed, the plastic smell volatilized from the plastic bag will remain on the quilt, and the chemical composition is harmful to the health. At the same time, I would like to say that the quilt is packed with garbage bags and exposed outside. What if a kind-hearted person picks up the plastic bag and throws it into the dustbin?
