Is your mattress home to millions of dust mites?

Everyone knows to change the sheets, but the real action happens deeper down. A typical mattress can hold up to ten million dust mites and their allergenic waste. These particles are light enough to become airborne each time you roll over. For anyone with eczema, hay fever, or asthma, that means overnight itching, sneezing, and wheezing.

Your healthy-mattress routine

Weekly

Wash sheets and pillowcases.

Every 6 months

Spray Allergoff Allergen Neutralising Spray on all mattress surfaces to neutralise dust mite allergens.

After 8–10 years

Replace the mattress. Foam density, support, and hygiene all decline over time.

Why neutralising beats ordinary cleaning

Vacuuming removes dust but leaves allergenic proteins behind. A neutralising spray binds to those proteins and changes their structure so they can no longer trigger your immune system. Less allergen load means less allergy symptoms, and deeper sleep.
