Dust mites are found in every home and are microscopic creatures that enjoy living in the conditions of an average apartment in Israel. Dust mites feed on the dry skin that our bodies shed, so they can be found mainly in mattresses and in clothing stored in closets.
Why does it affect those who are allergic to dust mites? Encounters with dust mite secretions trigger allergic reactions such as a runny nose, coughing, itching, and redness. How can you prevent encounters with dust mites? Using anti-allergenic bedding does a great job as they have the ability to prevent dust mites from penetrating from the mattress to us. In addition, you can run the washing machine at 60 degrees Celsius because regular laundry detergent and fabric softener are not effective at removing dust mites from clothing. Sometimes washing at 60 degrees can damage the quality of the fabric, so we developed an efficient solution, adding a laundry additive sheet to the machine. The sheet dissolves during the wash and eliminates the dust mites and their secretions from the laundry. The additive serves as a substitute for laundry detergent, and it is also recommended to add fabric softener for those interested in special fragrances or to soften the laundry.
