Allergy Control
Due to the change in life-style in the UK over the past twenty years, with the introduction of double glazing and central heating systems, we have made our homes into breeding grounds for microscopic creatures called dust mites.
The common house dust mite is the main culprit in causing household allergies. This little mite, distantly related to the spider family, feeds on the dead skin that we shed everyday - most prevalent in bedding, carpets and upholstery. It is the digestive enzymes contained within the dust mite excrement that triggers most respiratory allergies, such as asthma, and is the single biggest cause of eczema and all year round rhinitis - the sneezing and runny nose associated with allergies.
A regularly cleaned carpet can significantly reduce the symptoms of household allergies suffered by many people.
Childhood asthma is on the increase in the UK with one in three children being affected by exposure to dust mite droppings in their early infancy. Leading Entomologist Dr John Maunder of Cambridge University has proved that over time, with proper professional allergen removal techniques, the damage cause by dust mite allergen can be reversed.
