Here is a pretty interesting collection of videos on news reports and shows about dust mites. Dust Mite video.

While what they all say is pretty much true the parts about the companies that sanitize and debug mattresses for a couple hundred bucks is nuts. They say the vacuum causes vibration which brings the dust mites up. Don’t think so.

I know of a company that uses powerful truck mounted vacuums if their vacuums could pull air through a mattress and they said no way. These vacuums pull 10,000 + CFM of air and if they can’t do it the handheld units can’t. The UV treatment works great for killing bacteria on the surface but does nothing where the light does not shine. At best this is a short term fix.

Your best bet is to use the specialized dust mite covers on your bedding. A good set may cost you $200 but will last for years and not a few months. We list a couple of sites that carry them but there are other places to buy them.

The one thing they did say that is 100% true. Every home, no matter how clean has dust mites.
