HOW CLEAN IS A
"NEW" MATTRESS
(From State Board of Health.)
Every good mattress should fulfill
the following requirements: it must
be sanitary, clean, free from filth, oil,
vermin, and the possibility of disease
transmission; it should be t rm ani
level and yet elastic enough to be
springy, and it should be made of pro
per material to retain its elasticity
and shape. While the last two re
quirements are important it may
readily be seen that the one most in
need of attention is that dealing with
sanitation.
How can a purchaser know whether
the material is clean on the inside
of the mattress? Appearances may
point toward cleanliness, yet the
practice of unscrupulous dealers and
manufacturers who cover used ma
terial with fresh ticks and sell the
resulting product as new, naturally
raises the question.
Old, discarded mattresses frequent
ly form a considerable part of the
business of junk dealers. They dis
pose of such material to a mattress
jenovating plant where covers are re
moved, the contents reworked and new
covers used. In many of these estab
lishments no attempt is made at ster
ilization of this material which may
have been discarded from hospitals
or other places where communicable
diseases existed. They are then sold
to the unsuspecting purchaser as new
mattresses.
Reputable manufacturers have long
tried to control this evil, but find it
is a difficult situation. The state of
Oregon enacted a law in 1923 provid
ing that all used and contaminated
material must be thoroughly cleansed
and sterilized before being offered
for sale. The goods must bear a spec
ial yellow tag giving name and ad
dress of firm doing the sterilization
ind the date of sterilization. In 1927
the law was amended to comply with
the model law in conformity Trith
recommendations of the Better Bed
ding Alliance of America. This model
law includes in addition to bedding,
overstuffed furniture. The enforce
ment of this law will protect the pub
lic from infection that might be
transmitted by second-hand articles
of bedding and upholstery.
Penalties for the violation of the
bedding and upholstery law apply to
the person selling or offering for sale
renovated or remade bedding mater
ials that have not been sterilized.
The law also provides that all the
bedding sold shall be labeled to show
its true contents whether it is new
or has been renovated. Funds for the
administration of this law including
inspection are derived from the sale
of tags to the manufacturer, which
they are required to affix to each piece
of bedding put out. These tags are
obtainable from the State Board of
Health.
Many problems of sanitation are en
countered in the use of mattresses.
Through long use mattreses become
soiled or dirty and need cleaning.
This is particularly true of the older
mattresses, the tufts giving an ideal
collecting place for dust and dirt.
Newer mattresses are made by se
curely joining separate rolls or com
partments of mattress material. Second-hand
mattresses are frequently
infected with vermin, and once these
insects become established they can
be eradicated only by disinfection
with an insecticide as well as a bac
tericide.
The role of insects in disease trans
mission is well known and the extra
ordinary vitality of bed vermin which
enables them to live for extended per
iods under the most adverse condi
tions is conducive to the spread of
disease.
The greatest danger lies in thi
cheaper mattresses. The apparent
monetary saving is due to the fact
that the cheaper mattresses are filled
with old clothing ground to a fibrous
condition but not cleaned, or old
stuffings from a mattress some one
else has thrown away.
The health problem involved by
common use of second-hand bedding
is a problem that the State Board of
Health is facing. The new act con
cerning bedding and upholstery has
been a necessity for the protection
of the public health.
