Do not read this unless you sleep on a mattress.

Most people spend about 1/3 of their lives in this thing they call their bed. Being human, our dead skin cells continue to shed from our bodies at a rate of about the size of a dollar bill per day. Over a short period of time, our beds become full of dead skin cells that become food for our little friends called dust mites.  They say that the average bed contains about 2 million of these little guys. Can it be that your mattress needs cleaning?

(If you don’t believe me try this little test and find out for your selves.)   Take your vacuum hose or a Shop-Vac and put a black piece of material over    the end of your hose and vacuum the top of your mattress for about 30 seconds.   Don’t feel bad on what you find because this is what is happening in all the areas where we spend most of our lives.

A little closer look at our dead skin cells shows us what dust mites live on and our beds are the best environments where dust mites can reproduce and thrive.  Dust mites are harmless little creatures, but they are so messy. Many people say they are allergic to dust mites - but the fact is that they are allergic only to their fecal matter. Their waste causes an allergic reaction that can make life most miserable.
