Dust Mite Removal
You spend one third of your life in bed, that’s a fair bit of time when you add it all up over the months and years...but did you know that your mattress can contain allergens such as bacteria, fungi, and dust mites who live off your dead skin?
Dust mites are nasty little creatures. However, there are many of these little creatures in just about every household in the world, since the bugs are drawn to our warmth and consistent food supplies.
There are many myths that surround dust mites, so here is a list of facts to help clear up any confusion you may have about these tiny nuisances. Fair warning – these facts may make your skin crawl and your bed not seem so inviting!
Facts

A gram of dust in a house can hold over a thou-sand mites. Many people are allergic to dust and, therefore, to dust mites. A strict cleaning regimen is one of the only ways to cut down on the number of mites in your home.
Dust mites live an average of three months. They are a member of the arachnid (spider) family. A single mite is the one-tenth the size of the width of a single human hair.
Dust mites live in mattresses, pillows, blankets, and other soft, comfortable items. They dislike hard surfaces.
Dust mites feed on organic matter, but mostly dead skin that is found in furniture, house dust, bedcovers, clothes, cloth toys, carpets, and mattresses. They also absorb moisture through their skin, and this means the more humidity in your home, the more favourable the dust mite growth.
