THE MATTRESS
The primary source of DUST MITE EXPOSURE is in YOUR BEDROOM! Your bedroom is providing warmth, humidity and (grossest of all) food for their growth.
Throughout various posts on this Steamatic blog we have (and will continue to) discuss DUST MITES. Dust mites eat dead skin cells. Dead skin cells make up 80% of all household dust. When dust mites aren't using our dead skin cells for food they enjoy water vapor...and guess what--WE provide them THAT, too! (brace yourself for another scary fact) We provide dust mites with 1 pint of water vapor EVERY NIGHT! 1 pint, per person, from perspiring and breathing.
During the night, most people 'toss & turn' up to 70 times. This launches mite feces pellets, from your bed, into the air. They can stay airborne for up to 2 hours. Once they get into the air, these dried dust mite droppings are inhaled by YOU. This can cause wheezing, coughing, itchy eyes, the sniffles, and in more serious cases, asthma, eczema and allergic rhinitis.
SO WHAT DO YOU DO?!
Well, you can't cut out sleep. We've checked and all the doctors out there still say it's very important. So what does that leave you with?
CLEANING.
Most of the cleaning YOU can do and, as long as you keep up on it, you'll find a significant decrease in the amount of allergens that have been burdening you. Washing your linens on a regular and consistent basis is key and strongly recommended.
As you've probably figured out, we are not a laundry service. So washing your sheets is still going to be on your chore list.
But here's something to really think about: What do you do after you take your clean, fresh sheets out of the dryer?
YOU PUT THEM ON YOUR MATTRESS.
If you can't remember the last time you had your mattress cleaned--then it's been too long. Steamatic can clean and sanitize your mattress and help get you back into a healthier habit of living--TODAY!
