Getting your mattress cleaned is one of the most neglected parts of house cleaning. However, it is one of largest contributors to in-home allergies.
Statistics from the EPA
- Dust mites are the #1 household allergen. They are arachnids, related to spider, 0.3mm in length. They are found in virtually all homes, no matter how clean.
- The primary source of dust mite exposure is the bedroom, which provides the best conditions of warmth, humidity, and food for their growth. They are present in mattresses, pillows, carpet, upholstered furniture, curtains, and similar fabrics.
- The household dust mite survives by eating dead skin cells, which comprise up to 80% of household dust. The also live off of water vapor, which we provide for them - approximately one pint per person, per night - by perspiring and breathing.
- During the night, most people toss and turn up to 70 times. This expels mite feces pellets from bedding and pillows into the air. These allergens stay in the air for up to 2 hours! Once airborne, dried dust mite droppings are inhaled, causing allergic reactions in asthmatics.
- These allergens can cause wheezing, coughs, itchy eyes, sniffles, and in more serious cases: asthma, eczema, and allergic rhinitis.
How Does STEAMPRO Clean Your Mattress?
- We vacuum your mattress with our powerful truck mounted machine, which vents outside of your home - thereby eliminating allergens and not simply displacing them.
- Next we steam clean the top, bottom, and sides of your mattress with HydraMaster's patented DriMaster™ Tool. This will insure a great clean without over wetting your mattress and the high temperature will kill any mites living in the mattress.

What About Pillows?
An old pillow can contain up to 20% of its weight in dust mites! Because of this statistic, we strongly encourage people to trash their pillows instead of having them cleaned. It is recommended to keep pillows for no longer than 6 MONTHS.
