Eternity 12 Collection (Sofa and pouf) – Eternity 01 – Eternity 12 – Eternity 14 (Cushions) from Fashion Book 15 by Visual Textures by AquacleanAlthough it is not a life-threatening disease, it is quite annoying. First of all, it is interesting to know that dust mites are microscopic animals of the spider family that love to live in dust. Their size ranges from 0.2 to 0.5 millimeters, so we can hardly distinguish them. And to your surprise, they are not exactly the ones that produce your allergy, but the feces they leave behind.
These little bugs live, as we said, in the dust that accumulates in furniture, curtains, carpets, fabrics or upholstery, hence the importance of properly cleaning these areas. And although we can’t get rid of them 100%, we can keep them at bay so long as they don’t cause us a great inconvenience.these intruders love heat and humidity, so if you suffer from allergies you should keep your home at a temperature of about 20º, and humidity as low as possible. Another good way to control them is to air the house properly and daily, and if it can be in the hours of more sun, the better, because this also kills them.Try not to accumulate large amounts of furniture and decorative objects, as it is easier for them to accumulate dust, and therefore mites. Be especially careful to follow this rule in the bedroom and the living room, the two rooms where we spend more time and where we usually accumulate more things: cushions, plaids, carpets, blankets and a long etcetera.
Forget about carpets as far as possible, or opt for models that can be washed regularly in the washing machine, as being a fabric at ground level, it tends to accumulate a lot of dust mites, and as far as cleaning is concerned, try to wear a mask, as you will suffer much less discomfort by not vacuuming the dust you raise. Also remember to open the windows, so that this dust that can be raised in the air goes away. And use damp cloths or cloths whenever it is feasible, since in this way the dust will not “fly”, and will remain stuck in the cloth.about the covers of beds and sofas, it is important that you try to acquire those made with breathable synthetic materials. And regarding upholstery, such as curtains, armchairs or chairs, opt for those with Safe Front® Technology.
The natural shielding of the upholstery material against dust mites and bacteria helps us to achieve a totally hygienic upholstery material.
