Ten percent of the weight of a two year old pillow can be composed of dead mites and their droppings. Mites prefer warm, moist surroundings such as the inside of a mattress when someone is on it.

A favorite food is dander (both human and animal skin flakes). Humans shed about 1/5 ounce of dander (dead skin) each week. About 80 percent of the material seen floating in a sunbeam is actually skin flakes.

The University of Manchester performed a 2005 medical study of pillows that found up to 16 species of fungi in a single pillow. They tested feather and synthetic pillows in a range of ages, finding thousands of spores of fungus per gram of pillow, more than is found on an average used toothbrush.

Making a guest uncomfortable or even ill is the last thing that a hotel, guesthouse or a lodge can afford. The negative publicity is enough to lead to the finacial ruin of an establishment.

We suggest that you service your mattresses, pillows, furniture and carpets every six to 12 months.
