Why clean mattresses?
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 mites
today to improve your health by having your mattress safely cleaned. Dries in 1-2 hours.
