The Benefits of Cleaning Your Mattress
Do you suffer from Asthma? Do you often wake up in the morning with a stuffy nose or allergy symptoms? Your mattress may be to blame!
It is an unpleasant fact of life: Dust mites are everywhere– including on your mattress. Many people are allergic to dust mite excrement and their dead
carcasses. Dust mite excrement is said to be a leading cause of asthma symptoms, Rhinitis (stuffy, runny nose) and skin rashes.
But there’s more. Your mattress also contains dead skin, sweat and other miscellaneous bodily fluids and if your pet sleeps or plays on your bed then you can add a host of other contaminates. And let’s not forget about the ever growing problem with Bed Bugs.
But what can we do about it? Various sources recommend vacuuming your mattress weekly using a vacuum that has a Hepa filter. A hepa filter is important because the feces from dust mites is small enough to pass through a regular vacuum bag. People with allergies or asthma should have their mattresses cleaned every 3-6 months. As for the rest of us a yearly cleaning/sanitizing is recommended.
Recently Delta Carpet Cleaning purchased a piece of equipment which is ideal for cleaning mattresses. Dust mite debris, dead skin cells and any other loose material that 
At the same time the mattress is sanitized by the heat– no chemicals needed. If for peace of mind you would like additional sanitizer applied to your mattress– we can treat it with Microban which is a hospital grade disinfectant or we can use a botanical disinfectant. The pictures shows Greg using the equipment on our own mattress. It was ready to sleep on that night.

Dust Mites and You
No matter who you are, no matter where you live, you never sleep alone.
But don’t panic…those sleeping with you are somewhat peaceful. And not really that noticeable, until the “Welcome” sign goes up and they start inviting a bunch of guests over. Once the invitation goes out, there can be millions that end up in one mattress alone!
Yes, we are speaking of dust mites, those super-tiny eight-legged creatures that live in every house and take up residence in virtually every pillow, mattress and other comfortable abodes in the world.
Commonly called the “house dust mite,” (there are a couple of different types known to inhabit various parts of the world) this little creature feeds on flakes of shed human and animal skin and known to be a cause of asthma and allergic reactions.
Dust mite feces contain a powerful digestive enzyme that causes all kinds of breathing problems — if there are enough of the creatures in your home.
Some people are highly sensitive to dust mites, while others never have a reaction.
What can you do?
First of all, like we already said, don’t panic. Dust mites are everywhere, and there’s nothing you can do about that.
What you can do is keep things clean. Dust mites reproduce quickly in mattresses, beddings, pillows and other areas because these absorbent items take up moisture, such as saliva, perspiration and blood, from body contact. Dust mites prefer those warm, moist environments created by sleeping bodies.
Besides moisture, they need food. Dust mites are like any living creature. They need to eat. The skin flakes, dander and other protein sources are food for dust mites, so regular vacuuming is smart, especially using one with HEPA filtering. And running an air cleaner in your home with HEPA filtering will help, too.
As always you can call Delta Carpet Cleaning for help. We clean mattresses using high temperature steam and HEPA filter vacuums. We can also apply hospital grade or all natural disinfectants if you wish. Call today 216-939-8741. Visit our website at deltacarpetclean.com
