Allergens

On average, we spend at least 8 hours of our day on our mattress. That is one third of our life. A variety of organic and non-organic materials like dead skin cells, food particles, body oils, cosmetics, dust and other matter are building up on a regular base. These materials are the perfect host for all kinds of microscopic life which can be the reason for a number of health issues, particularly skin allergies and respiratory problems. Therefore, it is recommended to clean your mattress every 6 months.

What are Dust mites?

Dust mites are microscopic organisms that can be found in an ordinary home. They live in various household areas such as rugs, curtains and furniture, but their favourite place is our mattresses. In one mattress, tens of millions of dust mites invisible to the human eye can be found. They feed on our dead skin cells, microscopic food shreds and other organic materials which are deposited in our beds.

What are allergens?

The faeces and dead bodies of mites are allergens that can cause asthma, rhinitis (nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing and itching) and other respiratory problems. It is also known that these allergens can lead to dermatitis, eczema and other skin problems.

However, there are times when some of the stains on the mattress cannot be removed. That doesn’t mean that the mattress is not cleaned. We will do everything possible to try to remove the stain, but sometimes the stains are still visible because of few factors e.g. different materials, stain setting on the mattress for a longer time. Both factors may cause discoloration on the fibre of the mattress. Most of the time the stains will be completely removed but sometimes the stains may still be visible.
