The main area of concern is in very young children growing up in environments where there’s high dust mite exposure — or other types of allergen exposure. There is some evidence that if an infant or a young child grows up where there’s a high exposure to sensitizing substances, he or she will be more likely to develop allergy problems, asthma or both.
We are going to launch a campaign for awareness about the importance of Steam Cleaning of mattresses to counter attack on Dust mites. Our motive is just to provide a healthy living to your loved ones.
