Are you sleeping with the Enemy?
A typical mattress may have anywhere from 100,000 to 10 million mites inside. Their favourite food is dander (human skin flakes), also, bedroom carpentry and household upholstery support high mite populations. Very small size (250 to 300 microns in length) and translucent bodies, are not visible to the unaided eye.

Are you sensitive to dust mite allergens?
About 100 million people are sensitive to dust mite allergens. 20 – 40% in Europe. Number of patients sensitive to dust mites double every 10 years. There are sufficient evidence of a causal relationship between mite allergen exposure and exacerbations of asthma individuals specifically sensitized to dust mites. Continual exposure to dust mite allergens is also a contributing cause of chronic bronchial hyper reactivity.

What we do?
We clean and sanitize using a totally "green“, no-chemical, dry process that is capable of destroying all impurities found in a mattress. This is only possible by sanitizing both the surface and the inside of the mattress by combining a penetrating UV-C Germicidal lamp with a powerful extraction device.

What is germicidal ultraviolet?
UV-C light is germicidal - i.e., it deactivates the DNA of bacteria, viruses and other pathogens and thus destroys their ability to multiply and cause disease. Specifically, UV-C light causes damage to the nucleic acid of microorganisms by forming covalent bonds between certain adjacent bases in the DNA. The formation of such bonds prevent the DNA from being unzipped for replication, and the organism is unable to reproduce. In fact, when the organism tries to replicate, it dies.

Beneficial uses of germicidal UV
Ultraviolet technology is a non-chemical approach to disinfection. In this method of disinfection, nothing is added which makes this process simple, inexpensive and requires very low maintenance. Ultraviolet purifiers utilize germicidal lamps that are designed and calculated to produce a certain dosage of ultraviolet (usually at least 16,000 microwatt seconds per square centimeter but many units actually have a much higher dosage.) The principle of design is based on a product of time and intensity - you must have a certain amount of both for a successful design.
