AllergyCare Cotton Dust Mite Covers

cotton dust mite covers are comfortable and effectiveIf you love the look and feel of cotton but need dust mite protection, then the AllergyCare Cotton dust mite covers were made for you.

Cotton is the most popular fiber used to make conventional bedding.  No wonder it is the fiber in our most popular allergy proof bedding.

Quality Cotton  Dust Mite Covers

AllergyCare Cotton dust mite covers are made of a specially woven fabric that stops allergens.  With an average pore size of 4.6 microns, you get a barrier cloth that stops:

  • dust mites,
  • dust mite feces,
  • molds,
  • pollens, and
  • other common household allergens.

Because each cover is sewn with double stitch construction that utilizes a minimum of 12 stitches per inch, you get a cover that lasts. The heavy duty nylon zippers are rust-proof and made to stand up to frequent use.

Choose Cotton for Comfort

If you want dust mite covers that feel like conventional bedding,  choose AllergyCare Cotton dust mite covers for comfort and protection.

These cotton dust mite covers have the look and feel of regular cotton.   They are lightweight, soft, and quiet.  You won’t feel the cotton dust mite cover at work, but you will feel the results.  You will awaken refreshed.  Gone are the stuffy noses, watery eyes, dark circles under the eyes, and the cough that keeps you up at night.

Easy Care Cotton

AllergyCare Cotton dust mite covers require no special care.  Just remove from the bed, wash in your washer and tumble dry on medium.  Don’t use water hotter than 140° and don’t use chlorine bleach.  Care of your cotton dust mite covers couldn’t be easier.  However, if you prefer to wash in cold water, you can always launder your AllergyCare Cotton dust mite covers with De-Mite Laundry Additive.

Why Did Your Bed Bug Treatment Fail?

If you have ever had to deal with bed bugs or know someone who has, you know how bad it can get. You do everything you were told to do but the bugs just won’t go away. Why?
use mattress covers for bed bug treatment
We had some send us this great article and we thought you may want to read it when you get the chance.  It is titled “4 Reasons Your Bed Bug Treatment Failed” 

  1. You did not kill all of them or get rid of the eggs. Bed bugs will hide in the smallest of cracks and while they are there lay eggs. They also will move around the house.
  2. The wrong treatment was used. Bed bugs are already becoming resistant to some pesticides. One problem is you won’t know that until after it is done.
  3.  You weren’t persistent enough. You have to be tougher than the bed bugs. You have to be relentless in your bed bug treatment and not let your guard down.
  4.  You didn’t apply preventative measures. The best offense is a better defense. Keep bed bugs out of their favorite hiding place in the first place. Make sure you cover the beds with bed bug-proof mattress covers. Make sure they are bed bug proof and not just bed bug resistant.

There is no easy answer or treatment for bed bugs. Bed bug treatment should be considered a war.  But is a war that can be won.  It just might take more than one battle.

Wishing you the best of health
