DustMites
How to kill dust mites with Kleen Green ™
Suggested Dilution:
1 oz of Kleen Green™ to 32 oz of water
Spray Kleen Green ™ on surfaces in the home, including floors, carpets, bedding and any surface that will accept water based products. Spray kitchen and bathroom counter tops for streak-free cleaning.
Control of dust mites can be difficult, time-consuming and expensive. For people who are extremely sensitive, the following measures should be taken:
•Enclose mattresses, box springs and pillows in zippered allergen- and dust-proof covers.
•Wash all bedding, including pillow cases, sheets, blankets and mattress pads every other week in hot water (130 °F).
•Eliminate or reduce fabric wall hangings such as tapestries or pennants.
•Purchase stuffed toys that are machine washable.
•Avoid using curtains, drapes or blinds on windows. Use plastic shades instead.
•Remove carpeting from the bedroom of the allergic person and replace it with tile or wooden floors.
•Replace upholstered furniture with wooden or plastic furniture.
•Vacuum often with a vacuum cleaner provided with a high efficiency purifying air (HEPA) filtration system. Throw away vacuum bags after use because dust mites can leave the bag.
Installing HEPA filters on air conditioner or heater vents is not practical or necessary and may actually increase mite problems. Remember, dust mites cannot survive on the dust in the ducts, and the small holes of the filters will force air out of vents at a higher velocity, stirring up more dust than without filters. Complete elimination of dust mites is unlikely.
Reducing populations is the only likely way to reduce allergens in the air. Reducing humidity in the home by using a dehumidifier may help reduce populations but reducing humidity levels in microclimates, such as in bed fibers or carpet fibers, is impossible. Chemical control is not necessary, nor will it have a lasting effect on dust mite populations. Regular cleaning with Kleen Green™ and vacuuming will have a greater impact.
How and why Kleen Green™ works
Insects are made up of a high concentration of protein. When Kleen Green™ is introduced to an insect, the enzymes act and cause the insect to molt (shed its outer coating) prematurely.
Poison pesticides attack the nervous system of the insect, which is not always effective. University research has noted that some insects have developed a resistance to poison-based products!
These enzymes are becoming widely accepted in the field of pest removal, because they leave no toxic residues and the enzymatic effect on the insect exoskeleton is quick and safe.
