Asthma attacks can be triggered by a range of items such as second hand smoke, mold spores, pet dander, and pollen. The basic message for preventing asthma attacks is to stay away from coming in contact with range of those potential asthma allergens above wherever possible. Just stay away from them.
Even so, a far more potent asthma allergen is almost impossible to keep off from house dust mites. Dust mites are microscopic organism entity (a member of the spider family) that can be found anywhere where dust occurs, which, in a normal home is everywhere.
It is the purpose of this articles as guidance to outline a method where we target this tiny enemy and by eliminating house dust mites we can effectively prevent asthma attacks from occurring.
These itty-bitty agent feed on the part of our skin particles that we shed daily. Still, the dust mite itself is not the problem; the problem lies in its “droppings” as the results. They bear asthma allergens that activate a range of asthma and allergy in particular.
Like what we known from above, house dust mites are found all around your house where carpets and upholstery being their preferred places. So it is important that curtains and upholstered furniture are vacuum-clean on a regular basis. It is also necessary to use a vacuum cleaner that is furnished with a special HEPA filter, to ensure it retain more 99.9 percent of particles that pass through it. This controls any of the house dust mite detritus being but recycled back into the air/ atmosphere.
Still, the fact is the highest denseness of house dust mites is found in your bed. Dust mites thrive in the warm, humid conditions, dark that your bed provides and most particularly in the mattress. It is estimated that a double mattress are contained more or less two million house dust mites plus the bacteria, droppings that are retracted to them.
While you are having a good night’s bedtime, these uninvited, unwanted guests are having a riotous time drinking and eating and “doing what comes naturally”. Every time you turn in your sleep, you make a cloud of allergen-rich dust mite waste that you automatically breathe in. This is a serious situation for any asthma sufferer.
While you mostly clean almost everything in your home, including carpets and bedding how often do you clean your mattress? Cleaning by using conventional means has little or no outcome result. House dust mites are adept at burrowing cleverly deep into the mattress and resisting any attempt to free them.
So are there any ways to clean a mattress and prevent asthma attacks from happen at night when you are sleeping?
Well you can simply hire the services of a company that offers a service to clean mattress. The cleaning operation consists basically of 4 stages:
1) Using high vacuum cleaner with HEPA filter to deep cleaning. The vacuum usually creates vibration that helps to resolve the compressed detritus which has accumulated in your mattress.
2) Ultra Violet Light (UVL) can be used which attacks any remaining bacteria and dust mites. So you end up with a sterile mattress.
3) The treatment normally ends with a spraying using a biological product that is perfectly harmless to humans and pets. This product helps to delay the re-infestation of your mattress by dust mites.
4) Exposure to sunlight and give a hot temperature to mattress is know to kill the mites and organism on mattress
Yet when such a service is performed, it is necessary that a mattress will become re-infested within about 6 months. It will therefore need to be re-serviced every six months in order to anticipate asthma attacks or more frequently in the case of severe asthma attacks.
There is alternative possible solution for this treatment by yourself, as often as you need. Of course, you need to buy the specialized equipment needed for carrying out the work effectively. However, the extra expense for purchasing this equipment will be offset by the savings that you gain by not having to pay for the regular servicing and certainly more than offset by the relief that the asthma sufferer will undoubtedly experience.
