As the saying goes, "If you don't dry the quilt in March, millions of mites will accompany you to sleep". Many people are worried that the mites will cause problems such as skin allergies and itching. tools, such as a mite remover. But are mites really that scary? Is a Dust Mite Vacuum Cleaner really necessary?

First of all, what are mites? At present, there are more than 50,000 kinds of mites found in the world, second only to insects, and many of them are closely related to human health. Mites are usually very small, between 0.1-1 mm in length, and are barely visible to the naked eye. In the home, dust mites are usually the most widely distributed, and they can be found in some dark corners, mattresses, sofas, and other places. The dander and oil we drop every day will become their food, helping dust mites to reproduce and survive.

In fact, dust mites themselves generally do not cause allergies, but the corpses, secretions, and excretions of the mites are allergens. For some patients with allergic dermatitis and rhinitis, or children and the elderly with the poor constitution, it is very easy to cause skin allergies. Even cause serious skin diseases, asthma, and so on. But if you are healthy and are not allergic to these, there is actually no need to worry about them, just change and wash the sheets frequently.

Next, we will talk about the mite removal instrument. In fact, the so-called mite removal instrument is essentially a vacuum cleaner, but it has been adjusted for the usage scene, and some additional functions such as ultraviolet rays and flapping have been added. Although dust mites are not a problem for many people, if you consider creating a clean and tidy home environment as much as possible, prepare a mite removal device, and regularly clean the mattresses, sofas, etc.

So how to choose a good mite remover? As mentioned earlier, the essence of the mite removal instrument is a vacuum cleaner, so suction is the key. Usually mainstream mite removal instruments will be marked with their suction power on the product introduction page. When purchasing, you can compare and choose horizontally, and try to choose mite removal instruments with high suction power. Of course, if you already have a vacuum cleaner like Dyson, you can actually use the mattress suction head inside to achieve the same function as a mite removal device.

On the basis of suction, there are some other additional functions. Usually slapping, as well as UV disinfection. First of all, let’s talk about the flapping function. Using flapping, combined with powerful suction, can effectively remove mites and their excrement, dander, etc. in the mattress. Therefore, when choosing, reduce the selection of the mite removal device with the flapping function.

The other is ultraviolet rays. Although ultraviolet rays can indeed effectively achieve the functions of disinfection and sterilization, for mites, the effect may not be as good as you think. After research, usually, about 30W UV lamps need to irradiate the mites for at least 60 minutes to kill them. However, the power of the UV lamp on the mite removal instrument is usually very low, and it cannot be effectively inactivated during the short process of cleaning the mattress. In addition, the penetration of ultraviolet rays is very poor, and the mites hide in the mattress, and it is basically difficult to irradiate the ultraviolet rays, so this function is good to see, and you don't need to worry too much.

At present, some mites removers have a function of a hot compress to remove mites, which uses a high temperature above 55 degrees to kill mites. The best growth temperature for mites is 20 to 25 degrees, and the relative humidity of 80% is the best growth environment. A temperature above 55 degrees can kill mites. Therefore, compared with ultraviolet rays, hot compresses will be more effective to remove mites. This function can consider.

Another detail is that when choosing a mite removal device, try to choose a product equipped with a HEPA filter, because the volume of mites, including their secretions, etc., the particles are very small, if there is no filter, it will be cleaned before cleaning. During the process, it is easy to follow the exhaust gas of the mite removal device into the air and be inhaled, but it is more likely to cause allergies. A good filtration system can effectively avoid secondary pollution, which is very important.
