We all know Spring cleaning but how about some Fall cleaning? Flu and cold season are coming so how about some Fall cleaning to reduce some allergy-triggering problems. The following is an easy and super simple tip.

Replace your pillows

Every 2 years, you should replace your pillows. We use zipper protectors under our pillowcases, doubling the life of our pillows, by reducing allergy-triggering dust mites.

Did you know that within 2 years your pillow has gained a 3^rd of its weight from:

1) dead skin cells

2) dust mites

3) bug droppings

4) skittering live mites

5) hair and body oils

6) 1 mite = 20+/- faecal pellets a day

All that lovely that has soaked into your pillow is now a breeding ground for bacteria and allergy sufferage awaits you.

This infestation can cause allergic reactions as well as other problems such as:

1) pink eye

2) respiratory problems

3) asthma Sleeping Beauties
