WHY SANITIZE MATTRESSES, CARPET, & FURNITURE?

Not just because of bacteria and germs.  But because of this little creature above. 

The Dust Mite!

The Problem

  • Mites have existed for over 400 million years - Dust and mites living in dust were first reported as being seen through the microscope in 1694.
  • Each year more than 50 million Americans suffer from allergic diseases, costing more than $18 billion.
  • According to USA Today: more than 45% of the nation's homes, 44 million, have dust mites residing in them in significant numbers.

Dust Mite Allergens

  • 85% of Americans don't realize the air in their homes may be a health hazard, according to a survey released by the American Lung Association.
  • Childhood asthma accounted for 10.1 million days missed from school annually.  Asthma is the number one chronic condition causing children to be absent from school.
  • The estimated annual cost of treating asthma in children under 18 years of age is $3.2 billion.

They Are Hiding In Your Mattress!

  • According to Better Homes and Gardens about 80% of homes in the United States have dust mites.
  • Millions of people in North America are allergic to "house dust".
  • The dust mite waste is perhaps 80 to 90 percent of the allergic component of the "house dust"
  • The good news is that dust mites don't hurt people, their diet consists of the 50 million flakes of dead skin that pour off our bodies each and every day.
  • House dust mites are considered to be the single greatest cause of indoor allergies.
  • Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) studies of human exposure to air pollutants indicate that indoor levels of pollutants may be 2 - 5 times, and occasionally more than 100 times, higher than outdoor levels.
  • According to The American Lung Association, the EPA has identified indoor air quality as one of the five most urgent environmental risks to public health.
  • Dust mites comprise over 50% the weight of the average pillow.
  • Depending on its age, your mattress may contain between 1 and 10 million dust mites.  This is bad because your head and face lie directly on the pillow and near the mattress allowing you to easily breathe in the dust mite contaminants.

Did you know the place we go, to get well when we are sick, may be the most unsanitary place in our home? Our beds! Unless they are sanitized!.

 

 

No matter how clean your house, no matter how clean the bedding, you are still sleeping with these creatures and other pathogens. They come through the bedding while you sleep, and there may be millions of them infested in your mattress, pillows, and furniture.

We sweat more than a pint a night. The sweat soakes into the bedding and mattress. Sweat and dead skin we shed each night becomes food. Our warm bodies create a perfect incubator for dust mites, germs, bacteria, mold, and fungus to grow. We get up and the bed cools, the growth slows, the next night it starts all over again, night after night.

Dust mites excrete a substance called Guanine which is fecal matter. The average mattress and pillow no matter how clean, contains millions of dust mites. Each dust mite produces over 2000 particles of fecal matter, that’s a Lot of guanine.

Our face is close to the mattress and pillows, we inhale the dust mites and fecal matter into our bronchia & lungs. Our immune system reacts to fight off the invasion and triggers our symptoms.

 

 

There is also bacteria, mold spores, fungus, and other pathogens in our mattresses and pillows.

We use the SaniClean Systems®, a chemical free process in riding your bed of all these unwanted guest. The process includes using a special high powered vacuum with pulsating waves of high vibration to pulverize and destroy these pathogens. We then use a high heat dry vapor steam machine to shoot 300 degree steam deep into the mattress instantly killing any remaining dust mites and other pathogens. They are then extracted out of the mattress. Leaving a clean, sanitized mattress.
