Dust Mites Can’t Stand Living In Luxury

Dust mites like to live, breed and die in dark damp places. That’s why they choose to live in your mattress and pillows.

Did you know they don’t like to live in silk? Neither did I until today. It seems as thought silk naturally repels dust mites and bed bugs. Dust mites don’t have a clue what they are missing.

Silk is hypo-allergenic, regulates body heat, strong, cool when it’s hot and warm when it’s cold and great to snuggle. I’ve slept on silk sheets a time our two and they felt so good against my skin. If your looking for a silk comforter or blanket the Allergy Store now carriers Mulberry West’s line of silk bedding. Great addition to the dust mite covers on your bed.

Dust Mite Spray – Which One is Best

The obvious answer is the one you will use. Just like so many other products we buy thinking they will fix our current problem, they no good if you don’t use them. There is not a dust mite spray on the market that you can spray once and forget about it.

Over the years I have found the products manufactured by a company call Allersearch Labs the most effective. They make 2 different sprays.

ADS Anti-allergen spray is a tannic acid based product so you need to be careful when using it on light/white color fabrics. This is one of the very first products ever introduced that dealt with allergens from dust mites, cat dander and pollen. Each treatment last about 90 days.

ADMS spray works on the same thing as the ADS, dust mites, dander and pollen, but is made for use on all water soluble fabrics. In the case of ADMS the treatment last about 30-40 days.

With both products more is not better. You do not need to soak the fabric. Just mist. If whatever you sprayed is damp 15 minutes later you used too much.

We have used the sprays on our dust ruffles, pillow shams, decorative bed spread, couch, chairs and in the car. I have heard of some people who have sprayed it on a rag and wiped down the walls.  The best thing to do is see what works for you.

Just keep in mind that no matter what you buy, if you don’t use it it won’t work. which

Dust Mites Don’t Like Miele Vacuum Cleaners

To continue my conversation about why you should think about Miele vacuum cleaners I want to talk quality.

So many of the products we all buy today are designed for planned obsolence. They are built to last 2, 3 maybe 4 years and that’s it. When was the last time you took a DVD player into get it fixed? Hell, can you even find someone to fix it?

Miele makes all their vacuum cleaners to last. The give you a 7 year warranty on the motor. That is the heart of the vacuum so you know they are serious. The housing is made of tough ABS plastic just like a motorcycle helmant so you know they can take a hit.

Recently I was at Lowes checking out their line of vacuums. They all looked good but I doubt one of they will even come close to lasting and working as well as the Miele. Go to you local Miele dealer and play with one before you buy any other vacuum cleaner.

Miele Vacuum Cleaners – Mercedes of Vacuum Cleaners

I have to agree with Mike that Miele vacuum cleaners really are the Mercedes of vacuum cleaners. They are so well made they can last you 15 to 20 years. I know because my oldest one was purchased in 1998 and is still going strong. In fact it our daughter took it to college and it returned 4 years later dinged up but still sucking.

Patti also made quite a few good points in her article about the Miele vacuums. One oth the main ones is that they really are made for allergy sufferers. So many of the so called “Allergy Vacuums” actually spew the fine particles like dust, pollen, dust mite feces and mold back into the air. For those of us that have allergies that is a problem.

Please read Patti’s article “Why Buy Miele Vacuum Cleaners“. If nothing else you can see what you need when it comes to buying your next vacuum cleaner.
