Dust Mites and You

Dust Mites and You

No matter who you are, no matter where you live, you never sleep alone.But don’t panic…those sleeping with you are somewhat peaceful. And not really that noticeable, until the “Welcome” sign goes up and they start inviting a bunch of guests over. Once the invitation goes out, there can be millions that end up in one mattress alone!Yes, we are speaking of dust mites, those super-tiny eight-legged creatures that live in every house and take up residence in virtually every pillow, mattress, and other comfortable abode in the world.Commonly called the “house dust mite,” (there are a couple of different types known to inhabit various parts of the world) this little creature feeds on flakes of shed human and animal skin and is known to be a cause of asthma and allergic reactions.Dust mite feces contain a powerful digestive enzyme that causes all kinds of breathing problems — if there are enough of the creatures in your home.Some people are highly sensitive to dust mites, while others never have a reaction.

What can you do?

First of all, as we already said, don’t panic. Dust mites are everywhere, and there’s nothing you can do about that.What you can do is keep things clean. Dust mites reproduce quickly in mattresses, beddings, pillows, and other areas because these absorbent items take up moisture, such as saliva, perspiration, and blood, from body contact. Dust mites prefer those warm, moist environments created by sleeping bodies.Besides moisture, they need food. Dust mites are like any living creature. They need to eat. The skin flakes, dander, and other protein sources are food for dust mites, so regular vacuuming is smart, especially using one with HEPA filtering. And running an air cleaner in your home with HEPA filtering will help, too.Professional cleaning is a good investment for your home. Deep cleaning all fabrics on a regular basis means you are taking food away from these unwanted tenants. Logically, this equates to fewer dust mites coming over to a party at your house.So be a smart homeowner. Keep things clean and keep some of the pests away!

They did such a great job with cleaning my carpets which were in bad shape. They were quick and worked hard to get the job done. They were very knowledgeable and explained things so I understood what/why they were doing what they did. Great service.

Bluegrass Cleaning and Hardwood Refinishing was prompt, thorough in their inspection, and fixed the problem with cat urine that had gotten on a few places on my very old hardwood floors. They did great work, were very helpful with advice, and charged a very reasonable amount for their work.

I had purchased a Groupon coupon back in April. I spoke with Kevin around June and we talked about when I might want to do my cleaning, and he was very helpful. And then we made an appointment later for July. This is July 22, 2025 and the technicians have just left. I could not be happier. My carpet is nine years old, and has only been professionally cleaned once in that time, Over a year and a half ago. And the other company did not do nearly as good as cleaning. It looks great. It smells great. And they gave me a really good deal for the extra footage and the scotch guard protection. I would do business with this company again!!

My sofa and loveseat were expertly cleaned. It took about an hour and dried in about 8 hours. I'm very pleased.

The 2 gentlemen, Kevin & Hunter were extremely knowledgeable and thorough. I had them look at our laminateflooring as well and learned a great deal about cleaning and polishing (actually not polishing!) it. Very impressed with Bluegrass in this first experience! Great job!
