Understanding Dust Mites
Roughly 4 out of 5 homes in the U.S. have detectable levels of dust mites as well as other allergens,
bacteria and viruses. Dust mites and their waste products are one of the most common causes
of year-round allergies and asthma. Due to their tiny size and translucent bodies, dust mites
can't be seen with the naked eye. Dust mites flourish in the warm, humid temperatures of
homes and feed on the tiny flakes of human skin that people normally shed each day.
These flakes of skin work their way deep into the inner layers of furniture, bedding, and even
into stuffed toys — places where mites thrive.
We spend approximately 1/3 of our lives sleeping, where we shed a lot skin flakes and create
a warmer, more humid environment in our beds through our body heat and sweat.
This causes our mattresses and pillows to have the highest concentration of dust mites and
their allergenic waste.
Regularly using RAYCOP allergen vacuums on mattresses, bedding, pillows as well as other
fabric surfaces, is the most effective way to control dust mite allergies. When using RAYCOP,
very slowly push and pull the device across fabric surfaces, similarly to how you would use
an iron on clothes. This allows enough UV light exposure and suction to thoroughly clean the
buildup of dust mite matter, bacteria and viruses. Using RAYCOP frequently in the first weeks
will greatly reduce the dust mite population in your fabrics. Then, RAYCOP should be used
weekly to maintain low allergen levels in your fabrics.
