Dust Mites
Dust mites are microscope bugs that are feeding on dead skin cells shed by humans and pets. These bugs are usually harmless to most people and they shouldn’t be confused with bed bugs. Unfortunately dust mites are the main cause of asthma and allergies and nearly 10% of the Americans exhibit sensitivity to them. They are not parasites though, they don’t bite neither sting, what they do is create an allergen coming from their body. An average mattress may have 100, 000 to 10 million inside of itself depending on how old it is. Mites like moist and warm places and they could be found in upholstery and in the carpeting as well. What can you do? Vacuum clean your mattress regularly and use Green Choice’s professional cleaning twice a year.
