Most often, the most forsaken items of household furniture that requires adequate cleaning are the mattress, carpets, and rug areas, since floors, tiles, kitchen counters, as well as bathroom areas are frequently given much attention by household cleaner. But, did you know that mattress, rugs, and carpets are the favorite breeding ground of dust mites? The moist, dark environment of carpets and mattresses are the favorite living spaces of dust mites. Even if we cannot see them with our naked eyes, dust mites continue to multiply and increase in number along with other microorganisms. Thus, it is a great idea to clean mattresses, rugs, and carpets at least occasionally, not only for cleaning purposes but also for improving your family’s health.

Many people often overlooked the importance of cleaning mattresses though. They are not aware that when they were sleeping, a number of dust mites are lingering in their mattresses.

Some of these rug cleaners can be easily used at home, while others need certain machines for applications.
