Pillow and its impact in spreading diseases

  • The pillow is a Fomite with high capability of spreading diseases, it often acts as a chain for cross infections. A lot of people are unaware of how dirty pillows can be. We spent 1/3 of our day sleeping on our pillow, and it is exposed to our body oil, saliva, and skin dander. Most pillows show traces of fungus, bacteria, dust mites and allergens. Imagine what harm it causes us when we sleep on it every night!
  • We can sanitize our body, we can sanitize most Fomites like door knobs and window handles, but how do we ensure our pillows and bedding is clean inside-out?
  • Patients, travellers, kids going to childcare are among the people at high risk of being affected by Covid 19 transmission via pillows, because they sleep on hospital or hotel pillows.
