Proven Effective Protection from House Dust Mite Allergen

MiteGuard allergen barrier bedding covers are made in New Zealand by Allergen Control Services, following a strict principle of only providing products that have been independently tested and proven effective.

Allergy to house dust mite is an extremely common cause of asthma, eczema and chronic rhinitis. House dust mites feed on the tiny particles of skin that we all shed and which accumulate in our bedding. The mites' 'droppings' - tiny particles about the size of a pollen grain, contain the potent allergen (Der p 1) which is responsible for allergy symptoms. As our beds provide dust mites with their perfect environment - warmth, humidity and food, we can spend every night sleeping with extremely large numbers of mites - all producing allergy-causing Der p 1 at a prodigious rate.

Immediate protection from this allergen can be provided by allergen barrier bedding covers that fully enclose the mattress, pillow or duvet - but only if the covers are properly constructed using genuine, effective barrier fabrics.

Experience in manufacturing allergen barrier covers since 1994 together with a broad knowledge base of practical and effective methods of domestic allergen control make MiteGuard the most trusted brand of dust mite allergen protection in New Zealand.

MiteGuard2 Premium and MiteGuard Cotton Natural allergen barrier bedding covers carry my personal 5-year manufacturer's guarantee.
