 Have you had your Mattress cleaned lately ? 
Are you aware that we spend more than 1/3 of our lives in bed ?
Your mattress holds the same things that your carpet and upholstery do. So how often do we vacuum our mattress or have it professionally cleaned ?
I clean your mattress the same way I would the rest of your furnishings. I begin with a thorough vacuuming, apply the treatment solution, allow to dwell and kill the bacteria and allergens, then extract with my low moisture steam cleaning tool. I then use my air movers to completely dry the mattress in as little as a half and hour.

What's in your mattress and how cleaning can reduce your allergies...
Dust mites can be a serious problem to your health. Did you know these disgusting bugs are actually apart of the arachnid family? This is the same family as spiders and scorpions! Their allergenic by-products are produced from their saliva, feces, sticky egg secretions, and decaying body parts. Dust mites and indoor allergens cause air pollution. The EPA has deemed indoor air pollution as America’s number one health concern!
•The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology suggest that almost half of all illnesses may be the result of unhealthy mattresses.
•The weight of the average mattress doubles after ten years due to dust mite infestation! That’s 10% in weight each year.

•Exposure to dust mites in the first two years of a baby’s life can trigger a lifelong allergy or even asthma. It can also happen in younger children.
•Mattresses contain the highest concentration of allergens in the home, including molds, bacteria, viruses, and dust mites
•Dust mites live in 99% of all homes.
•Dust mites flourish in warm, humid environments.
•Your mattress is the perfect environment for dust mites; they love to burrow into fabric and feast on your dead and decaying skin cells. (Humans shed two to three pounds of skin a year…plenty of food for tiny dust mites).
•Dust mite populations increase rapidly; each egg-laying female can increase the population by 25 or 30 new mites per week. Depending on its age, your mattress may house between one million and ten million dust mites.
•Tossing and turning in bed causes allergens to become airborne and you’re breathing in these allergens every night!
•The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has stated that Asthma is the leading chronic illness of children in the United States, and is the most major cause of school absenteeism for a chronic illness.
•Asthma can be a very serious illness and kills over 5,600 people a year.
•According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the air in your home may be 5 to 100 times more polluted than the air outside!
•Around 50% of all illnesses are either caused, or aggravated by polluted indoor air (American College of Allergists).
•Dust mites have been medically proven to be the main trigger to reactions causing asthma, bronchitis, rhinitis, eczema, and more.
•We shed 10,000 million scales of bacteria laden skin each day, most end up in our mattresses.
•Dust mites produce 200 times it’s body weight in excrement during their normal life span.
•A 61% increase in asthma rate, from 1982 to 1994, was reported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
