Dust mites are probably the world’s greatest cause of allergic reactions and are a significant trigger of asthma attacks.

Although invisible to the naked eye, our bedding and clothing contain millions of them, each continually depositing protein fecal matter onto the sheets, pillow cases and mattress covers . . . and these are but a small part of the hundreds of millions that inhabit the average house. All clothing, but especially undergarments contains dust mites however, it is those mites in your bedding that are the most critical to your well-being. As you sleep, your face literally comes into contact with them and the air that you breathe, because of your close proximity to them, is heavily congested with their symptom causing allergens.

We recommend that you launder both undergarments and bedding using De-Mite laundry additive, however, it is the bedding that must be your primary concern. About 2 tablespoons of De-Mite added to a washer load is all that is needed. It’s effective in hot, warm or cold water and is completely safe for all washable, colorfast fabrics. One bottle does 11 to 12 loads. The contents of De-Mite include anionic and non-ionic surfactants, benzyl benzoate, tea tree oil, methyl salicylate.
