We put a lot of time and effort into keeping our homes beautiful. If something is dirty, we clean it. Right?
But how do we know how to clean something not visible to the eye?
Dust mites are microscopic creatures that live and breed in your mattresses, blankets, pillows, sofas, and carpets. They thrive in warm, moist conditions and can number into the millions. Dust mites are invisible to the naked eye, but their effects can be seen everywhere.
Have you ever woken up with itchy red eyes, sinus pain, or sneezing? Are you experiencing recently developed asthma, eczema, hay fever or bronchitis?
These are all symptoms typical of dust mite infestation. Dust mites
feed on the dead skin cells that human beings shed everyday, and leaving
behind their excrement. This is the cause of many allergy-like symptoms.
Consider the following facts:
A simple vacuuming will do nothing to get rid of these tiny pests. Hygiene and allergy problems can only be solved by eradicating the cause.
But don’t despair. UniKlean of Bel Air has developed a natural, organic, chemical-free process that effectively destroys dust mites, bacteria, spores, allergens, dust, and decaying skin cells.
Firstly, we loosen particles of dirt, dust and excrement embedded within your mattress with high frequency waves. The waste is then removed with a special high-powered vacuum, specifically designed to trap 99.97% of everything it collects.
Next, the mattress is sterilized with a chemical-free disinfectant. This process kills all viruses, spores and bacteria within the mattress. Finally, we apply an all-natural, hygienic mattress spray which is not only anti-bacterial but acts as an insect repellent.
No other service offers the high level of cleanliness and hygiene we do.
There is a growing amount of scientific data that reveals better environmental hygiene improves health. The Environmental Protection Agency has consistently ranked indoor air pollution among the top five environmental risks to public health, and according to the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology,50 percent of all illnesses are caused by or aggravated by polluted indoor air So what are these indoor pollutants that can negatively affect our health? They include outdoor pollutants brought inside, combustion products, contamination from chemical products used by the consumer, and biological contamination. This is why EPA statistics show that levels of many airborne pollutants can be 100 to 500 percent higher indoors than outdoors.
Bio-pollutants include dog and cat dander, dust mites and cockroach allergens. These indoor pollutants act as triggers for asthma and other respiratory ailments. Over 40 million Americans suffer from allergies due to these pollutants. Children are the most at risk, as their lungs are still in the developmental stage.
The No.1 indoor allergen source? The common house dust mite. Dust mites are microscopic, eight-legged arachnids (not insects) 0.3mm in, length. They are invisible to the human eye, so small they can crawl through the weave of bedding fabrics.
Dust mites feed on tiny flakes of shed human skin cells. The average adult sheds about 2 pounds of skin per year. This will feed millions of dust mites. The dust mite is not what causes the problem; this lies with a protein found in the fecal matter. The fecal mater is lighter than air and becomes airborne when disturbed by activity like fluffing pillows and tossing and turning during the night. The airborne particles are inhaled; the protein breaks down the protective mucous lining of the eyes, nose, lungs and skin. The allergens enter the body and cause an overreaction of the human immune system. According to a study published by The National Institute of Environmental Health, 46 percent of North American homes have bedding with enough dust mite allergens to cause allergies.
We cannot forget pets. Proteins in a pet’s dander, saliva and urine cause pet allergies. Grooming by cats cause the saliva on fur to become airborne, which in turn triggers the allergic reaction. Allergy sufferers should not have pets, but of course they do. We can help by introducing regular cleaning and treatment of your home furnishings.
So what about mattresses? For allergy sufferers, the
bedroom is the primary source of dust mite exposure
in the home. About 60 percent of mites in the home
are found in the mattress, as we spend one third of
our life in bed - shedding skin and feeding dust
