Mites are tiny organisms/insects invisible to the naked eye and belong to the class of Arachnids. They are not blood-sucking and do not sting. They are everywhere in a house, in the dust, on the mattresses, on the pillows, on the sofas, etc. as they enter via atmospheric dust and are transported from place to place on clothes.

Mattresses and pillows provide ideal conditions for their growth. Between 90% and 100% of dust mites live inside our mattress. From the first month of use, a mattress hosts more than 15,000 mites, after 4 months, 500,000, and after 12 months, over 1,500,000! Dead skin cells and hair shed by humans are the primary food source for these mites, while their population growth depends on the temperature of the space and the relative humidity in the atmosphere. High temperatures and humidity promote their rapid propagation.

Finally, about 10% of the population develops allergies to mites and especially to their droppings that cause serious health problems. They have been found to aggravate serious conditions such as asthma, respiratory problems, eczema, atopic dermatitis etc.

The term “sanitization” refers to the ecological bio-cleaning of mattresses or sofas from allergenic mites. For this application, the HEPA Filter Cleaning System, the Thermal Dry Steam Combat System, and the UVC lamp are used to combat and eliminate allergenic mites.
