Surely you have heard of mites, and you know that mattresses are the perfect setting, but perhaps you did not know the cause. And it is that the mites feed on the cells of our skin. And what better place to find this precious delicacy than on our mattress: on average, a human being sheds about 28 grams of dead skin each month , which is equivalent to the weight of a package of potato chips. And, when we sleep, many of these cells end up in our bed, where the dust mites find their ideal nest: a warm and humid place with lots of food.
A mattress study conducted in Japan revealed that more than 90% of beds contained mites and more than 50% had traces of insects in their bed, including moths, silkworms, beetles and cockroaches. Furthermore, we know that around 2 million mites inhabit a single mattress . Mites themselves are not allergenic, however their feces contain a protein that can trigger allergic reactions, asthma, eczema, and allergic rhinitis. And, considering that mites put up 40 million excrements a day, this is a more serious problem than it seems.
An effective solution
Although they live all year in our mattress, in spring and autumn is when the problem worsens. The most effective way to eliminate these allergies is by vacuuming your mattress. The new Dyson V6 Mattress vacuum cleaner is a cordless vacuum cleaner that effectively removes allergens from mattresses thanks to its technology with a digital motor that rotates at 110,000rpm (five times faster than a Formula 1!), Generating a powerful suction and constant. This allows the Dyson V6 Mattress Vacuum to penetrate deep into mattresses removing four times more allergens than a conventional mattress cleaner.
And that’s not all: the Dyson V6 Mattress vacuum cleaner has a HEPA filter that, thanks to powerful centrifugal forces generated by Dyson Root Cyclone technology, removes dust and dirt from the air and carries it away. The remaining particles are captured by a subsequent engine filter, including allergens and small bacteria. Because the entire system is designed to be airtight, the air that comes out of the machines is cleaner than what we breathe.
In addition, it contains a motorized mattress tool – the powerful motorized brush bar rotates to maintain constant suction through the mattress. The stiff nylon bristles shake to dislodge dust mites, allergens and dirt and are swept away thanks to the powerful suction. The full width of the brush and suction channel ensure that the user can clean to the edge of the mattress. No dust mite is left intact.
