SO - ARE YOU SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY?

When I first read the statistics on dust mites, I started to itch!  I had never heard of these little unwanted guests in my bed before.  Now I find out that up to approximately 10 million of the little creatures could actually be snuggling up with me every night!  And, just to further nauseate you, each of these little buddies has between 20 - 50 poops a day.  Just Lovely!

The dust mites are microscopic 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 found in

lounging areas, mattresses, frequently used furniture and associated carpet 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 than humans.

A typical mattress can contain tens of thousands of dust mites.  Sick yet?  Nearly 100,000 dust mites can live in one square yard of carpet.  Ready to convince your spouse to start bathing regularly? A single dust mite produces 20 - 50 waste droppings each day, each containing a protein to which many people are allergic.  Yuck!  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 parasites, since they only eat dead tissue.  Gross, but true.

Mites prefer warm, moist surroundings such as the inside of a mattress when someone is on it. (as previously mentioned) And pillows - did you know that 10% of the weight of a 2 year old pillow is dust mites and their feces?  About 80 percent of the material seen floating on a sunbeam are actually skin flakes.  Now I'm itchy again!!!

Norwex Mattress Cleaner is designed to eliminate dust mites and all organic material on sofas, mattresses and bedding; including duvets.  Apply every 4 months - 10 - 12 sprays for a double bed; 5 - 6 sprays for a single bed.  Do not saturate the mattress - mist lightly.  Leave to dry up to 4 hours before replacing bedding.  It is not necessary to turn the mattress and spray the other side.

How does it work?

The Mattress Cleaner contains live enzymes which eat through all organic material (including dust mite feces) and break them down into natural elements like oxygen, hydrogen and carbon.  These enzymes completely digest the organic material.

Note:  Do Not use on nonabsorbent plastic crib mattresses.  These are made of plastic and the cleaner will not soak in.  Wash crib mattresses with the Norwex Enviro Cloths that remove 99.9% of bacteria.
