Are you sleeping with the enemy?
You may change or wash bed linens frequently.
But do you know that your mattress also needs to be cleaned and
sanitised regularly?

The combination of moisture, heat and
dead skin flakes produced by a sleeping person makes a mattress the
ideal breeding ground for dust mites. Changing/washing bed linens
will NOT eradicate dust mites inhabiting in mattresses and stop them from breeding. Most people keep their
mattresses for long period of time. The older
the mattress is, the higher level of contamination. You may
not realise that your mattress is probably incubating dust mites.
It is a scientific fact that exposure
to the allergen guanine found in dust mite excrement is directly
responsible for allergies and the resultant problems such as asthma;
bronchitis; eczema; inflammation of the mucous membranes; red itchy
or watery eyes; sneezing; cough; Nasal congestion; headaches; depression; fatigue;
poor sleep and a whole host of other allergic reactions.
Up to 2,500
dust mites have been counted in as little as one gram of dust! This
computes to there being as many as 2 million+ dust mites in a
regular, standard size mattress alone! No matter
how houseproud you are, the fact is you are sharing your bed with
millions of dust mites greedily feasting on the dead skin flakes you
shed everyday.
The typical dust mite produces 200
times its body weight in excrement during its normal life span. Dust
mites can produce enough feces to double the weight of your
mattress! Dust mites'
excrement (Guanine) adheres to the fibers in the mattress fabric as
tiny mucous coated balls. Later, it decomposes into a fine
powder-like dust.
A mattress is the place where we
have direct contact with dust mites.We spend approximately
one-third of our lives in bed, moving around frequently. When we
move on the mattress it acts like a bellows and puffs up particles
containing the microscopic dust mite excrement, which easily pass
through protectors and bedding to land on our face and skin and
enter our breathing passage, eventually triggering respiratory and
dermatological problems. Senior citizens and children are most
vulnerable to indoor allergens produced by dust mites.
If you are suffering any symptoms of asthma and/or
other
allergies, you are
most likely reacting to dust mite excrement. Even though you don't have any
asthmatic or other allergic symptoms at the moment, it does not mean
that you are immune from indoor pollutants and allergens. As
pollutants and allergens can accumulate in our body, there is still a
high chance that prolonged exposure to
dust mites' excrement can cause allergies, asthma and the resultant
health problems to develop and begin at a
later time.
Besides dust mites, your mattress is
also a home to many other harmful microscopic organisms and contaminated
sediments such as bacteria
and viruses, fungus and mould, dust, salt from perspiration, other bodily
fluids and pet hair allergens. All these contaminants can contribute
to the development of potential health problems.
They are a resilient bunch, deeply
embedded in your mattress and you can't simply vacuum them away! It takes Hygienitech's
germicidal and scientifically provenmattress cleaning and sanitising process
to destroy and remove them.
