DUST MITES
Dust mites flourish in warm, humid environments and need humidity
of more than 50% year round to survive, making most coastal areas
of Australia and New Zealand the perfect breeding ground.
Millions of dust mites exist in homes attached to fibres in carpet,
bedding, pillows, sofas, rugs, throws, cushions, curtains, drapes and
children’s soft toys.
The mattress is the major breeding ground for dust mites. Depending
on its age, a mattress may contain between 100,000 and 10 million
dust mites and their eggs.
Using a steamer that emits steam hotter than 55˚C is the best and
most convenient way to eliminate dust mites from around the
home. This steamer emits steam to 100˚C.
