Dust mites feed on dead skin cells of humans and animals, producing waste (mite faeces) which are a significant trigger of asthma, eczema, and rhinitis. Over 2 million dust mites can be found in the average household queen size bed. Regular use of AllerZero will kill the dust mites, eliminating the production of dust mite allergens.
.
Dust mites are one of the main triggers of asthma and other allergic reactions for one million New Zealanders! Dead skin and the horny substance produced by humans is their major food source, the mites excrete their waste and shed their skin in your bedding, soft furnishings and carpets.
Because dust mites are found in places that your family is in constant contact with, a natural product is the safest way to protect your family.
Allerzero works on killing dust mites simply and naturally by fragrance. Where dust covers and mattress protectors offer some control of dust mites produced allergens, allergic reactions are better controlled by eliminating dust mites altogether.
The unique formula of Allerzero helps clear your home of dust mites. Allerzero is safe to use in homes, schools, kindergartens and anywhere dust mites and mould occur.
What are Dust Mites?
They are tiny, eight-legged creatures found in homes. They do not bite (if you are being bitten, it could be fleas or bedbugs). They don't burrow under the skin like scabies mites. Dust mites are so small they are virtually invisible to the naked eye. The most significant problem associated with dust mites is the faeces they produce which cause allergic reactions.
Many people are allergic to them. Symptoms associated with dust mite allergies include sneezing, itchy, watery eyes, nasal stuffiness, runny nose, stuffy ears, respiratory problems, eczema and asthma. You might notice these symptoms when dusting around the house. But, dust also contains other allergens, including cat and dog dander, cigarette ash, cockroach droppings, mold spores and pollen, these can also cause allergic reactions.
How can you find out if you're allergic to dust mites? Ask a medical doctor to conduct an allergy test. (RAAST Test).
To thrive, dust mites need very warm temperatures (24-30 degrees C) and high humidity levels - 70-80 percent relative humidity. One study showed when humidity is 60 percent or lower, the mite population stops growing and dies out.
Dust Mite Management:
To eliminate dust mite allergens, try to reduce the dust mite populations with cleaning and dusting, and follow with reducing exposure to dusts. the more methods you use the better the results. Allerzero helps to reduce and eliminate the dust mite population. Regularly use in laundry and apply to mattresses and other soft furnishings. A little allerzero goes a long way!
LOWER HUMIDITY - Reduce humidity levels (moisture in the air) to less than 50 percent inside your home, especially in the bedroom. Regularly opening windows on fine days helps to circulate clean air. Its also well documented that air-conditioned homes have ten times fewer dust mite allergens than non-air-conditioned homes. Electric blankets may help reduce dust mites by helping to keep the mattress dry, and too hot for dust mites.
AVOID FURRY OR FEATHERED PETS - All pets contribute to the dander in the dust and increase food sources for mites. try to keep your pets bedding as far from yours as possible and regularly clean their sleeping area. Hardwood or vinyl floors with washable bedding are ideal.
REDUCING AIR INFILTRATION - Airing out the house with open windows allows entry of pollen, which is another allergen as well as food for dust mites. In some climates, incoming air may be humid, which promotes dust mites. But regular airing is still essential for a healthy home.
CLEANING WASHING - Wash all bedding weekly with any detergent in hot water (600C) to help to remove dust mite and other allergens from bedding. If you cannot launder blankets, dry clean them once a year. Washing or shampooing, steam clean and airing non-washable carpets or other soft furnishings as frequently as possible is a good practice. Allerzero can be used in the laundry wash cycle. Add a capful to the fabric softener section.
SELECT IDEAL FURNISHINGS - Avoid overstuffed furniture because it collects dust. Also avoid wool fabrics/rugs because wool sheds particles and is eaten by other insects. Use washable curtains and rugs instead of wall-to-wall carpeting. If you cannot replace carpeting, have it steam cleaned at least once a year, to help prevent a build up of dust mites feeding on skin cells in the carpet during the summertime. Enclose mattresses and pillows in plastic to decrease mite populations in the bed.
VACUUMING - The most important tool for managing house dust and dust mites is the vacuum cleaner. Regular, thorough vacuuming of carpets, furniture, textiles and other home furnishings such as draperies will help keep dust mite populations low. Vacuums with highly efficient filters (HEPA) designed for use by people with allergies to dust are ideal. It is better to vacuum thoroughly once a week rather than lightly on a daily basis. Vacuum mattresses, padded furniture and other soft furnishings thoroughly; 20 minutes for each mattress is not too long.
DUSTING - Dust furniture before you vacuum so the dust has time to settle on the floor, where it can be picked up by the vacuum. Try not scatter dust by always dusting with a damp cloth. (Dry dusting simply creates dust in the air). Spraying furniture polish/dusting liquid directly on surface reduces airborne particles by 93 percent compared with dry dusting.

Dear SMS,
It has arrived yesterday and I spray on the mattress and curtains. This product is great! For the first time, my husband didn’t need to use the inhaler through the night and he feel less itchy on his skin. I really hope this will work.
