Breathe Easy by Cleaning out the Dust Mites
Most beds would certainly have the usual dust mites residing in the bed mattresses. While some may not be aware of it, once a person may find something weird when he breathes, that is perhaps the time to declare that cleaning out your beds and rid them from these pests as well as their potential offspring should be carefully undertaken.Ever wonder why you get a certain itch in your body? Well that is not solely pointing towards lack of hygiene. Dust mites have their way as well in becoming more irritating as well. Asthma and allergies are things to watch out for when you get to the bed proper. You just have to go to work and do some bed or mattress cleaning to resolve the problem.

Hi there! What an informative site! Who knew there was a whole blog devoted to beds! I have severe allergies to dust mites (among various other things as well)…so much so that I should own stock in Claritin. Ha!
I write not to bug you, but to suggest something that is new out there on the market that I have had a chance to use that has helped me get rid of dust mites. As to not falsely advertise myself, I actually work for a company called Halo…and we make ultraviolet vacuums; vacuums that use ultraviolet light rather than chemicals to kill dust mites, viruses, bacteria, you name it, in people’s homes. As a blogger, or as a general consumer, it’s something to go check out for sure. Our website is http://www.gethalo.com. If you have any questions, i’d love to answer them for your personally! I don’t get paid a cent for getting the word out….but I have one, and it WORKS. Give us a look!

The dust mites and other critters don’t bother me so far (knock on wood) but now I know what to do if they start. Thanks!

Our revolutionary sanitation method will give you the best possible sanitation available! Allergens are resting in your carpet, furniture, bed, and more. Once you make contact with, or walk on any of these items, the allergens become airborne, thus entering into the air you are breathing. The allergens are then ingested by you and your family. We eliminate these threats!
Mattress, and Furniture Sanitizing Process:
Only now, due to recent technological advances, can today’s generation, and our future generations benefit from the dry, odorless, all natural, and chemical-free cleaning utilized by the mattress cleaning professionals at The Bed Med.
Step 1)
We use a powerful, specially engineered mattress cleaning device that generates incredible suction power, and high frequency pulsating wave. Using this device (for collecting particles larger than 0.1 microns), the cleaning professional removes and contains dust mites, dust mite fecal pellets, dust mite exoskeletons, mold, mildew, pollen, spores, bacteria, viruses and microbial allergens from the item. This is the same type of vacuum cleaner designed for the removal of the tiniest of particulates, such as anthrax, asbestos, lead dust (toner), and for the use in “clean rooms” found in the hi-tech industry.
Step 2)
An ultra powerful, germicidal UV-C light is slowly passed over the surface of the mattress, or other objects you want sanitized. This is the same process as used in hospital rooms for sterilization and in crime scene labs and DNA labs to prevent cross-contamination. The purpose of this step is to effectively alter the DNA in the targeted house dust mite and other micro-organisms.
UV-C light causes damage to the nucleic acid of microorganisms by forming covalent bonds between certain adjacent bases in the DNA. The formation of such bonds prevent the DNA from being unzipped for replication, and the organism is unable to reproduce, and the population quickly dies out. This UV-C light kills 99.9% of all allergens it touches. Not some under powered 12″ lamp attached to the front to the vacuum, or some 8″ hand held wand. We use a 12″ X 18″ dual bulb system rated at over 100,000 micro watts per second plus a 9″ X 30″ hand held used by the homeland security to eliminate biological threats.
Step 3)
Then we use a Dry Vapor Steam Vacuum with A.I.T.S ( Advanced Ionic Thermal Sanitation) to steam vacuum up the remaining dust mites, viruses, bacteria, fungus, and more. Our goal is to remove all possible indoor allergens from your mattress. Most companies do not vacuum your mattress twice!
Step 4)
Lastly, we do a light misting of the sterilized surfaces with an odorless, all natural, chemical-free, and non-toxic super enzyme spray. This is not the stuff you may find in a store. It is the best of the best! The spray inhibits the growth of new dust mite colonies. After allowing 5 minutes for evaporation to take place, the mattress is ready for bed linens.
