Your grandmother and possibly your mother, regularly dragged theirs out into the garden on a cold day and beat them for half an hour or more. The cold killed the mites and the beating removed their excrement and other contamination.
But due to the weight and composition of the modern mattress, and the time pressure created by today's hectic world, we don't do that any more.
And yet with the modern day environment, created by double glazing and central heating, and the resultant increase in dust mites, bacteria, viruses and other filthy residues in our beds, having our mattresses cleaned regularly is more important than ever before. And there's more than enough scientific evidence to substantiate just how essential this is.
This is what we find in the 'average; mattress, pillows and duvet......
Dust Mites
Up to 2 million of these mites are found in a double mattress. They each produce 20 droppings a day. That is 40 million droppings a day! They may be very small, but in this quantity, it is quite a mess. This excrement can cause or aggravate the symptons of Asthma, Eczema and Rhinitis.
Bacteria & Viruses
These include Micrococcus, Bacillus, Stphylococcus, and Coliforms. Many of these can be dangerous to your health.
Fungi & Mould
Some of these spores cause serious allergic reactions. They have even been implicated as a cause of cot death.
