The average bed is said to be home to more than two million dust mites – and their bodily waste – and this is thought to be one of the main causes of allergies, asthma, eczema, sinusitis and rhinitis. To help stop hotel guests falling victim to these conditions, HealthGuard has developed Total Hygiene DM1, a biodegradable spray which is claimed to be environmentally friendly and suitable for all textiles. The spray is said to form a barrier which stops mites getting to their food source (flakes of dead skin) and to protect against reinfestation for as much as six months. It is also claimed to be non-irritant and non-sensitising.
