Meet The Dust Mites In Your Mattress
Mattresses are the perfect environment for Dust Mites. Dust Mites are tiny creatures that are members of the Arachnid (spider) family. They thrive in temperatures of more than 20°C (70°F) with a relative humidity of 60-80%. These are the conditions found almost exclusively within the mattresses you and your family sleep on every night.

Bacteria infested flakes of dry skin from you and your pets offer Dust Mites a rich source of food. Their reproductive rate is very high. Natural enemies, such as predatory mites, are extinct. Up to 2,500 Dust Mites have been counted in one gram of dust. That means there are up to two million Dust Mites in one double size mattress! Each Dust Mite excretes approximately 20 pellets of excrement a day which contain allergens in the form of protease enzymes. These can attack the protective lining of the nose, throat and lungs. Moving around in bed makes the allergens airborne and easy to inhale. This stimulates the body's immune system, triggering the symptoms of asthma and rhinitis.

Dust mite
More and more scientific evidence points to the fact that this Dust Mite excrement and the skeletons of dead Dust Mites are a cause of allergies and related problems e.g. asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis, inflammation of the mucous membranes, reddening of the eyes and itching. It can also be a contributory factor to skin diseases including dermatitis and eczema. Asthma in particular, is increasing at an alarming rate among children worldwide and is causing widespread concern. 85% of people with asthma have been found to have an allergy to Dust Mites.
"Dust Mite proteins have been implicated as a predominant cause of the current increase in asthma prevalence. Recent advances in the understanding of these allergens have vastly increased the potential for more effective treatment and prophylaxis. In the absence of vaccines, environmental controls aimed at allergen avoidance are currently the best defense against the disease."

Dust Mites Treatments

Latest research shows that 40% of Americans who have allergies suffer due to dust mites that accumulate on the mattress. Dust mites live off the dead skin that falls off on our mattress when we sleep. The fecal matter and the proteins excretion of the dust mite is lighter than air and becomes airborne causing you to breathe them in. Asthma, Eczema, Hay Fever, Bronchitis, Inflammation of the Mucous Membranes, Itchy Red Eyes, Headaches, and Sinus Pain have a relation to dust mites that are on your mattress, carpets, or upholstery. Beginning in the 1980’s homes have been built to be more energy efficient resulting in better sealed home and greater quantities of indoor air pollution. The end result is an accumulation of allergens produced by house dust mites and other micro-organisms. Because we spend about a third of the day in bed, we inhale great quantities of dust mite allergens. It is crucial to raise the public’s awareness and have mattress cleaning become a part of the regular house cleaning routine

How do you become allergic to house dust mites?
As the dust mite allergens are inhaled into our body the body produces antibodies. These antibodies cause histamine to be released, which causes swelling and irritation of the upper respiratory passages (hay fever and asthma symptoms). Dust mites are present all year round. They can be found when sitting on chairs, stepping on a carpet, or sleeping on a mattress.

What are the symptoms of house dust mite allergy?
Watery eyes
Difficulty in breathing
Skin rashes
Runny nose, itching, and sneezing

What can you do?
It is recommended to clean and sanitize fabric ornaments such as mattresses, upholstery, and carpets on a regular basis. Vacuum frequently, have little furniture with fabric on it. Cleaning dust regularly and keeping your house smoke free is crucial.
Dust Mite Treatment
Dry, odorless, all natural, and chemical-free. It is important to understand that dust mite treatment does not clean stains on your mattress. If you have urine stains or food spills on your mattress, or if your mattress just needs cleaning please ask us about The Pop's Mattress Treatment kills dust mites and neutralizes their allergens.

HOW IT WORKS?
Hygiene and allergy problems can only be solved by eliminating the cause. The Pop's Floorcare uses a scientifically proven system which was originally developed in Europe in the early 1980's and has been used in homes, hospitals and hotels for over fifteen years. Scientists and engineers have improved upon this system and no other mattress cleaning system can compare. It both eliminates the cause and cleans the mattress hygienically without the use of chemicals. We can also identify and treat other areas in a home where Dust Mites may be causing problems.

How Pop's Mattress Treatment Works
The system one of the most advanced systems of its type in the world and is a three stage process.
Stage 1
Using Non toxic pre Spray and Hospital Grade industrial vacuums Pop's Power Cleans the mattress This combination of treatments simultaneously. Dislodges and loosen particles of dust, dirt and excrement in the mattress. These are then eliminated with a high power vacuum with a special HEPA filter which traps 99.97 per cent of everything it collects.
Stage 2
Using Pop's Mattress Treatment enzymatic Sterilizing Unit, we sterilize the mattress removing bacteria, viruses and spores.
Stage 3
We spray the surface of the mattress with a specially formulated Anti Allergy Mattress Hygiene Spray. The spray is harmless to humans and animals and is based on several natural ingredients. It is non toxic to people and pets while it slows down the reproductive rate of any dust mites that enter the substrate after treatment. Performed 2- 4 times per year depending on the client symptoms.
