Professor E. L. Hsu of Department of Entomology, National Taiwan University found that 75% of Taiwan’s homes are filled with dust mites. Each gram of indoor dust is hidden with an average of 2,000 dust mites (even up to 10,000 dust mites for some families). Dr. Hsu Shi Da of Mackay Memorial Hospital noted that if there are 500~1,000 dust mites in each gram of dust, they are likely to cause clinical allergy symptoms.

Many people think that they are able to solve dust mite problems after using dust mite proof bedding, but from these few photos taken on the surface of physical dust mite proof bedding sold on the market, we can still see plenty of dust mites (and even many types).
The purpose of physical dust mite proof bedding is to encase pillows, mattresses and quilts, but dust mites can still thrive on the exterior of household pillow covers, bed sheets and quilt covers. According to a study conducted by E.L. Hsu of National Taiwan University, dust mites are fond of hiding in damp and dark corners, so the area between household pillows, mattresses and quilt covers and dust mite proof covers are hidden with dust mites, in particular at areas along the seams where they are prone to accumulate with dust and fallen human dander. The above exploration has proved that dust mites cannot be eliminated through the use of physical dust mite proof bedding. They still need to be pulled off frequently and washed with anti-dust mite detergent or bleaching agent (some waterproof plasticized fabrics are not washable, so please read the instruction manual prior to washing). As dust mites will still breed on the surface of dust mite proof covers, when the exterior colored bedding covers are pulled off for washing, the vacuum effect will often set the dust mites on the surface afloat (they are airborne for about an hour). After you have installed the clean exterior colored bedding covers, the airborne dust mites, excrement and eggs will slowly fall down and continue to thrive. Such a vicious cycle will continue to cause troubles for mankind. A better design is to enhance this layer of physical dust mite proof barrier with a biological expellant technology. In addition to wrapping up dust mites found in pillows, mattresses and quilts, it can simultaneously expel dust mites found on the surface of dust mite proof covers. We shall talk about this latest technological development later on. |
