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.

The unique formula of Allerzero will rid 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 microscopic, eight-legged creatures closely associated with us, but they are not parasitic and do not bite. They don't burrow under the skin, like scabies mites or live in skin follicles, like skin follicle mites. Dust mites are so small they are virtually invisible to the naked eye.
Some 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 (in severe cases) asthma. Many people notice these symptoms when they stir dust during cleaning activities. But, dust also contains other allergens, including cat and dog dander, cigarette ash, cockroach droppings, mold spores and pollen.
How can you find out if you're allergic to dust mites? A medical doctor should be consulted for proper diagnosis.
To thrive, dust mites need very warm temperatures (75-80 degrees F) 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, first, take actions to reduce dust mite populations and second, reduce exposure to dust. No one method has been found for reducing mites and relieving allergy suffering. 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. This isn't hard to do in the winter, but can be a challenge during summer months, especially in homes without air conditioning. Studies have shown air-conditioned homes have ten times fewer dust mite allergens than non-air-conditioned homes. Using an electric blanket for eight hours each day may help reduce dust mites by helping to keep the mattress dry.
AVOID FURRY OR FEATHERED PETS -- Pets with fur or feathers contribute to the dander in the dust and increase food source for mites. If you are a pet lover, locate their sleeping quarters as far from yours as possible and furnish their sleeping area so it can be cleaned easily. Hardwood or vinyl floors with washable area rugs 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.
CLEANING/HEAT TREATMENTS -- Wash all bedding weekly. Research has shown washing with any detergent in hot water (600C) helps to remove dust mite and cat allergen from bedding. If you cannot launder blankets, dry clean them once a year. Shampoo, steam clean or beat non-washable carpets once a year. Allerzero can be used in the laundry wash cycle. Add a capful to the fabric softener section.
SELECT APPROPRIATE 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, springtime is best. This will 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. Replace feather pillows with synthetic ones.
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 a water filter are preferable to those with a disposable paper bag because a water vacuum removes a greater range of particle sizes than paper-bag types. There are vacuums with highly efficient filters (HEPA) designed for use by people with allergies to dust. It is better to vacuum thoroughly once a week rather than lightly on a daily basis. Vacuum mattresses and padded furniture 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. Do not scatter dust. Instead, dust with a damp cloth rather than dry dusting. 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.
Thanks so much for your help...(Allerzero)
