Quick dust mite facts
Who is the enemy?
They’re called dust mites. Millions may inhabit one home and are invisible to the human eye.
They feed on dead skin cells which your body sheds every night. Their feces and dead bodies are allergens that can cause asthma, rhinitis or dermatitis.
And guess where their favorite breeding spot is ...the mattress
