There are some simple steps to reduce allergen levels of dust mites in bedrooms

1) pillow allergen-proof mattress covers, weekly laundering of other bedding

2) Very gently vacuuming and steam cleaning Dry carpet and upholstery room

According to scientists, the National Institute of Environmental Health Science, University of Washington and Harvard University.

What are mites?

House dust mites are microscopic organisms that feed on spider flakes of human skin and are in beds, carpets, tapestries, wall hangings and other gathering dust mite allergens “

.” – Substances that an allergic reaction can cause -. are proteins, which was in the feces of the mite

purpose of the study

This study aims to evaluate it, practical methods to reduce these allergens in bedrooms of low income households in cities. Thirty-nine homes were in Seattle, Washington examined.

pillows, box springs, mattresses and were packed with an allergen-impermeable covers. Bedding was washed weekly in hot water at home or professionally.

Rugs received a single treatment of intensive vacuum dry steam cleaning or intensive vacuuming alone. Upholstered furniture received either dry steam cleaning or intensive vacuuming.

What are the results

Studies have shown, are.

that exposure to mite allergens is a major risk factor for the development of allergic diseases such as asthma and rhinitis (hay fever) is

A doctor said: “These results show an earlier study that about 45 percent of American households, or about 44 million households, bedding with dust mite allergen concentrations, a level that was associated with awareness exceed allergies.

We estimated that have 22 million households can trigger with house dust mite allergen concentrations beds at a level that asthma in sensitive individuals.

So we like to ways to reduce these problematic substances test. “

Household Cleaning Tool

The researchers found that the interventions significantly reduced house dust mite allergen concentrations. T

that the proof covers allergen use and money in professional or home beds reduced allergen levels in the beds.

steam cleaning, vacuuming and vacuuming alone lowered allergen more levels in carpets. Vacuum-steam-cleaning service each reduced allergen levels in upholstered furniture.

steam cleaning machines have recently become available for home use.

“The reduction of mite allergens after a single suction not last as long as, after a decline of steam cleaning and vacuuming.

We

believe that the hot dry steam kills the mites and Vacuuming removes it from the carpet, “said a doctor.

Awareness

During

vacuum and steam cleaning procedures adopted allergen concentrations below the levels that trigger asthma symptoms, the interventions do not reduce the concentrations below levels of allergic sensitization by reducing

Awareness. – The process, carries out the recognition of the organization a particular allergen to a physical reaction – the first step in the development of allergy

how to obtain measurements of allergens’. to obtain / p> To allergen measurements below the level of consciousness, the people need extra things like removing the carpeting to do on the ground, replace upholstered furniture with leather or vinyl covered.

and reduce moisture in the house, “said a doctor.” But such a house can be robbed of less desirable for the residents. In the meantime, more research is needed on inexpensive alternatives for the control of allergens in the long run. “
