Dust Mites-Aller X
It looks and feels clean, but what really lurks beneath your sleeping body?

The answer is a pile of dust mite droppings, together with their hosts. An average mattress can be home to more than a million dust mites.

Around 80 percent of allergies are caused by these microscopic creatures, so it is important to keep your sleeping environment as clean as possible. They can trigger respiratory illnesses such as asthma and hay fever and also skin diseases like eczema. Asthma alone affects around 1.4 million Australians.

Aller X is a hyper allergenic cleaning system for mattresses and pillows, with offices in Australia and New Zealand. Aller X uses a special high tech vacuum cleaner to remove the bugs hygienically without using chemicals.

No water is required, so the mattress does not become wet. At the same time, UVC rays are also used to kill bacteria, viruses and fungal spores. The mattresses can be left on the bed frame during cleaning. The whole process takes less than half an hour, and lasts four to six months.



Cost
Starts at $40 for a queen size mattress.
