Most of us only clean when we see visible dust, which leaves potentially harmful, invisible bacteria around our house. Have you ever wondered what is in your dust? Dust includes airborne dust and allergen, dust mites, dust mite faeces and allergen, mould, bacteria, skin flakes and more.

You may be aware that household dust could contribute to illness like asthma, but do you know that dust mite faeces can be a trigger for allergies as well? Your mattress may look clean but there can be millions of dust mites in a single mattress. 

So what are dust mites? Dust mites are very small, insect-like pests that feed on dead human skin cells and thrive in warm, humid environments. Dust mites are too small for us to see with our naked eyes. They are not parasites that really bite, sting or burrow into our bodies, however, some people are allergic to dust or dust mites.
