Dust Mites




Did you know that people think they are allergic to dust mites, but it is actually their feces you are allergic to! In a 10 week life cycle a dust mite can produce 200 fecal parts! A female dust mite will lay 60 to 100 eggs. That is why after 10 years a mattress is twice as heavy as the day you bought it!In order to kill them, they have to be exposed to a temp over 140 degrees. Which is hard to do on a mattress! Norwex has a mattress cleaner. It is designed to eliminate dust mites and all organic material on a mattress, sofa, and bedding. I also do stuffed animals and carpet. All you need to do is apply 10 to 12 sprays every 4 to 6 months. Just lightly mist and let dry before replacing bedding. It is made of natural enzymes that eat the dust mites and their organic matter.My daughter had allergies and now since I started using it she is a lot better. She will still get sick if we go to someones house with cats! But that is a different story!
