Press Release Summary: You sleep with them every night. They\'re so tiny you can\'t
see them, but they can make your life miserable and have a serious affect on your
overall health and well being. They\'re dust mites, tiny, prolific organisms that
live in your mattress and can cause or aggravate a host of health problems including
skin, eye and nose allergies, bronchitis, asthma, headache, depression and fatigue.
If you want to know how to get rid of them, read on.

Press Release Body: Dust mites love your mattress because it\'s the perfect
environment for them. It\'s warm, tends to be moist, and what\'s more, it\'s replete
with their favorite diet - human skin flakes. The Mayo Clinic estimates that you may
be sharing you cozy bed with anywhere from 1 to 10 million of the critters. And
though they\'re microscopic (500 could fit on the head of a pin), they may be causing
you big problems.

The reason why these tiny creatures are so virulent is that they are a source of
allergens. These allergens come from many sources including the dried body parts of
the mites themselves and their fecal matter. The typical dust mite excretes 200
times its boy weight in fecal matter.

One reason this is such a problem is that mites lack a stomach. So digestion occurs
outside their bodies. The mites secrete enzymes and deposit the fungus Aspergillus
Repens on dust particles. Then the fungus predigests the food for the mites. The
dust mite\'s partially digested food, and fecal matter make up the most major sources
of allergens.

The allergens then enter your body at night. As you shift in your sleep, the tiny
allergen particles waft into the air and hence into your breathing passage, lungs
and ultimately your bloodstream.

Perhaps you think you can clean your mattress or change your sheets and they\'re
gone? Unfortunately this is not the case. Dust mites are tenacious creatures and
they\'re very happy just where they are in your mattress or borrowed into any number
of items in your home. Standard vacuuming doesn\'t work. Traditional household or
commercial vacuum cleaners don\'t have the power to suck out the dust mites and their
debris from deep in your mattress. Bleaches and strong soaps won\'t kill them either.
So what will work? Fortunately, there are a few things that the mites hate.

Extreme temperatures, either high or low, are generally fatal to them. However they
reproduce quickly and will soon return. They have a life spans of about 30 days and
the female lays up to 300 eggs during that period.

Then there\'s sunlight. Mites hate sunlight because it\'s a natural form of
ultra-violet light, which is harmful to dust mites and their eggs. That\'s why they
like to burrow deep into your mattress where they\'re safe.

Ultimately, to successfully rid your life of pesky dust mites, you have to apply a
rigorous eradication system, and so you really need professional help.

Europeans are much more proactive on the dust mite front (and incidentally have far
few allergy clinics that we do here in the US). As a result, they began developing
effective mattress cleaning and sanitizing procedures using specialized equipment
over 25-years ago. Now, a vastly improved system and procedure is available in the
United States.

The most effective system for cleaning and sanitizing mattresses, as well as for use
on any porous, allegen collecting surface is from the company Hygienitech, which
offers a multi-pronged attack against dust mites, bacteria, mold and fungal spores,
common virus and a long list of other contaminants that are found in most homes, as
well as multi-bed facilities. Firstly, they go over your mattress with a device
comprising a high powered suction device working in conjunction with an
electronically regulated germicidal UV-C light. This is ultraviolet light of the C
band, a type of highly compressed light which penetrates the surface and functions
as a completely green, chemical-free and dry, all natural purification system.

After completing the cleaning and sanitizing process, an all natural, chemical and
perfume free citrus spray is misted throughout the area in order to cleanse the air
above and surrounding the treated surfaces.

The result is that any mattress, chair, sofa, carpet or drapery is purged of both
the dust mites and their debris in a safe and effective manner. It\'s fast, too. The
whole process takes only around 22-minutes minutes for a king-sized mattress. It\'s
recommended you have this procedure done twice a year to keep down the allergens in
your home. It makes sense to get rid of your unwanted sleeping partners and create a
healthier home for you and your family.
