NORWEX MATTRESS CLEANER KILLS DUST MITES

And gets rid of them for good! Dust mites are making us sick every day but Norwex Enviro Products produces A Chemical FREE Mattress Cleaner for your home to help you tackle the problem.

 House dust mites are microscope bugs that primarily live on dead skin cells regularly shed from humans and their animal pets. Dust mites are harmless to most people. They don't carry diseases, but they can cause allergic reactions in asthmatics and others who are allergic to their feces. Skin cells and scales, commonly called dander, are often concentrated in lounging areas, mattresses, frequently used furniture and associated carpeted areas, often harbor large numbers of these microscopic mites. Since the average human sheds 1/3 ounce (10 grams) of dead skin a week. That gives dust mites a lot to eat. Cats and dogs create far more dander for dust mites to eat.

A typical mattress can contain tens of thousands of dust mites. Sick yet? Nearly 100,000 mites can live in one square yard of carpet.  Did you know a single dust mite produces about 20 waste droppings each day, each containing a protein to which many people are allergic. The proteins in that combination of feces and shed skin are what cause allergic reactions in humans. Depending on the person and exposure, reactions can range from itchy eyes to asthma attacks. And finally, unlike other types of mites, house dust mites are not parasites, since they only eat dead tissue. Gross, but true.

Where do they live?

Beds are a prime habitat (where 1/3 of life occurs). A typical used mattress may have anywhere from 100,000 to 10 million mites inside. (Ten percent of the weight of a two- year old pillow can be composed of dead mites and their droppings.) Mites prefer warm, moist surroundings such as the inside of a mattress when someone is on it. A favorite food is dander (both human and animal skin flakes). Humans shed about 1/5 ounce of dander (dead skin) each week. About 80 percent of the material seen floating on a sunbeam is actually skin flakes. 

Norwex Mattress Cleaner is designed to eliminate dust mites, and all organic material on mattresses, sofas and bedding; including duvets.  Apply ever 4 months – 10 – 12 sprays for a double bed; 5 – 6 sprays for a single bed.  Do not saturate mattress – mist lightly.  Leave to dry up to 4 hours before replacing bedding.  DO NOT use on crib mattresses.
