MITES & CO
Only a professional deep cleaning will protect you! MITES & CO. More than 98% of all mattresses are soiled and contain dust mite droppings.
We share our mattresses with over 3 million (!) dust mites! These contaminants trigger dust mite allergies.
But sweat, dust, and mold also take their toll on you and your mattresses. A professional POTEMA cleaning guarantees cleanliness and well-being.
SKIN FLAKES & BACTERIA
We lose skin flakes every night, over half a kilo a year, and these largely remain in the mattress, become infested with bacteria and cause the typical, unpleasant, musty bedroom smell.
HOUSE DUST MITES
House dust mites are arachnids and feed on skin flakes, of which every person sheds about one to two grams daily. Mite droppings are the most common trigger of house dust allergies.
SYMPTOMS
Headache and sore throat, tickly cough
Restless sleep, itching, skin rash
Burning or swollen eyes
Swollen mucous membranes, shortness of breath
.SWEAT
Through natural perspiration, every person loses up to 1.5 liters of fluid per night. Some of the moisture from the sweat, as well as the salts and proteins it contains, penetrates the mattress and remains there.
MOLD
Mold is very common.
Barely visible, it develops due to moisture and insufficient ventilation.
Mold is very unhealthy and can also trigger allergies.
DUST & HARMFUL SUBSTANCES
Up to 200g of dust can accumulate in a single mattress. Due to the manufacturing process, pollutants such as formaldehyde can also be present in mattresses. These can be harmful to health.
More than 98% of all mattresses are soiled and contain dust mite droppings. Up to 2 million mites live in each mattress, each producing approximately 20 droppings daily. With every movement during the night, we stir up the dried mite droppings, distributing the finest particles throughout the mattress and into the air we breathe. A single gram of house dust can contain up to 15,000 mites. House dust mites are therefore the most common indoor allergen worldwide. Regular, professional deep cleaning by POTEMA reduces the mite population to a minimum!
