Dust Mite and Allergy Elimination with HEPA Filtration Technology
Dust mite allergy is an allergy to a microscopic organism
that lives in the dust that is found in all dwellings and workplaces. Dust mites
are perhaps the most common cause of perennial allergic rhinitis. Dust mite
allergy usually produces symptoms similar to pollen allergy and also can produce
symptoms of asthma.
What is house dust?
Rather than a single substance, so-called house dust is a varied mixture of potentially allergenic materials. It may contain fibers from different types of fabrics; cotton lint, feathers, and other stuffing materials; dander from cats, dogs, and other animals; bacteria; mold and fungus spores (especially in damp areas); food particles; bits of plants and insects; and other allergens peculiar to an individual home. House dust also contains microscopic mites. These mites, which live in bedding, upholstered furniture, and carpets, thrive in summer and die in winter. In a warm, humid house, however, they continue to thrive even in the coldest months. The particles seen floating in a shaft of sunlight include dead dust mites and their waste-products. These waste-products, which are proteins, actually provoke the allergic reaction.
Removal of Dust Mites With HEPA Filtration
Many vacuum cleaners do not filter fine dust effectively. Some adequately pull small particles out of your carpeting and bedding. But, their filter systems are so porous that microscopic particles pass through the cleaner and are expelled back into the air you breathe! The HEPA filtration system we use removes up to 99.97% of common household dust, pollen, mites and other causes of allergy symptoms
