Dust Mites and You

9/28/2015

​No matter who you are, no matter where you live, you never sleep alone.

But don't panic...those sleeping with you are somewhat peaceful. And not really all that noticeable, until the "Welcome" sign goes up and they start inviting a bunch of guests over. Once the invitation goes out, there can be millions that end up in one mattress alone!

Yes, we are speaking of dust mites, those super-tiny eight-legged creatures that live in every house and take up residence in virtually every pillow, mattress and other comfortable abodes in the world.

Commonly called the "house dust mite," (there are a couple different types known to inhabit various parts of the world) this little creature feeds on the flakes of shed human and animal skin and is known to be a cause of asthma and allergic reactions.

Dust mite feces contain a powerful digestive enzyme that causes all kinds of breathing problems--if there are enough of the creatures in your home.

Some people are highly sensitive to dust mites, while others never have a reaction. 

What can you do?

First of all, like we already said, don't panic. Dust mites are everywhere, and there's nothing you can do about that. 

What you can do is keep things clean. Dust mites reproduce quickly in mattresses, beddings, pillows, and other areas because these absorbent items take up moisture, such as saliva, perspiration and blood, from body contact. Dust mites prefer those warm, moist environments created by sleeping bodies.

Besides moisture, they need food. Dust mites are like any living creature. They need to eat. The skin flakes, dander, and other protein sources are food for dust mites, so regular vacuuming is smart, especially using one with HEPA filtering. And running an air cleaner in your home with HEPA filtering will help, too. 

Professional cleaning is a good investment for your home. Deep cleaning all fabrics on a regular basis means you are taking food away from these unwanted tenants. Logically, this equates to fewer dust mites coming over to party at your house. 

Finally, clean your ducts. Don't let dust multiply in your home's HVAC system. They, along with other contaminants, can circulate through your home 5-7 times a day if your ducts are not cleaned properly. 

So be a smart homeowner. Keep things clean and keep some of the pests away! Call Mark's Cleaning Service today!
