Mattress Doctor Garry Lassman demonstrates why mattresses need to be cleaned. The amount of dust mites, dust, dead skin, mould and fungus spores removed in just 30 seconds is truly horrifying!

Garry lists the health problems of sleeping on an unclean mattress - allergies such as asthma, eczema, puffy eyes and blocked-up breathing, rhinitis and sinusitis - and shows how the Mattress Doctor process can help those with an allergy, changing people’s lives, literally overnight.

   and FYI: i don’t care for Hygenitech or Mattress Doctor. I don’t think both could effectively do much. But at least i know what mites are and how i can combat them, unlike you. Inconsiderate wonk.

   It’s not. At least the Mattress Doc uses infra-red to first loosen the dirt and after cleaning the mattress, UV light for the kill. What does the Rainbow do? Get it through your head: water to make things FAR worse!

   The hi humidity and temperature must have destroyed your ability to think logically - that is if you even know anything about mites.

   Do yourself a favour, shut up already.

   hey maxbialystok, well i might not know what the mattress doctor uses..but i can assure you that the ‘Rainbow’ is equally efficient..We do live demonstrations at the customers place itself..showing them the dust mites..you guys can check out posts on youtube by rainbow users themselves..see the reviews..

   That’s impossible. The mite problem is an environmentally driven one. In all honesty, cleaning mattresses hardly helps as a be-all end-all. The mite problem has to be combated at many fronts all at once, your body, your environment and lifestyle. One thing is for sure, those whom are touched by this affliction will never be the same again when it comes to lifestyle and taking care of one’s health. These bugs love people with excess heat and a high blood sugar count.

   It’s more of a question of humidity really. They have been a problem for a LONG time, they just didn’t bother humans that much. Heat is one thing, but the melting of the ice caps have dumped tons of water into our atmosphere. Alot of the Mite species that have depended on humidity to “breathe” have it good at this rate.

   Woot, some of my comments were deleted.

   hey waauser, in your line of business you do need to spell ‘mattress’ correctly

   But seriously, your kit may be better than some domestic machines, but it can’t compare to the professional equipment used by Gary.

   Perhaps in another 14,000 years the human race will have become immune to the problem through natural selection and evolution.

   But for now we just have to help those who really suffer from the proliferation of these insects.

   The problems caused by dust mites really kicked in during the last 50 years or so.

   The indoor environment has changed so much. Most homes are double glazed and centrally heated. In some countries the fashion has been to have fitted carpets in all rooms. Even bathroom and kitchen, yuk!

   In solving the problem of how to keep us warm and comfortable we have created the ideal environment for the dust mite. Then there’s the effects of global warming. Those mites have everything going for them!

   hey guys a ‘Rainbow’ hydro cleaner is effective in removing dust mites from matresses and carpets..its a ALL in 1 machine…im a dealer for ‘Rainbow’…message me if ur interested…

10. koldsack on January 4th, 2009 12:51 pm

    btw, it’s easy to tell others to get use to mites when you’re not the one holding the bag.

11. koldsack on January 6th, 2009 12:27 pm

    Mites became a problem to humans only 14,000+ years ago, hardly a “human condition”, they have been around for millions of years and have left most folks alone until the exponential rise in temperature/humidity globally.

    Suddenly those places that had always been hostile to them became habitable. Global warming is partially to blame.

12. koldsack on January 7th, 2009 6:28 am

    They find their way around via the use chemo/infra/co2 receptors on their bodies, which zero-in on the presence of parasite/fungi/mold, heat and carbon dioxide - all 3 pointing towards the presence of food.

    I just controlled a severe (of bird mites) infestation in my house. Believe you me, mattress cleaning/frequent laundry in hot water and etc. alone doesn’t do squat.

13. maxbialystok on January 8th, 2009 1:39 am

    Very true, they are part of the human condition.

14. maxbialystok on January 10th, 2009 4:42 am

    They are indeed microscopic. Their first instinct is to eat, so they gorge on our dead skin cells. Their little legs get stronger, they eat some more, the legs get stronger still. Before long they’ve eaten all the nearby food so those legs come in really handy!

    In their search for more food they meet members of the opposite ***. These guys never miss an opportunity, I mean they really go for it!

    So more mites are created and start to travel. And that’s how they spread through mattresses.

15. maxbialystok on January 11th, 2009 1:29 pm

    Try googling Mattress Doctor.

16. ecow0rks on January 11th, 2009 11:35 pm

    Does anyone know how to get ahold of this Dr? Seriously

17. RickyMoss on January 14th, 2009 9:20 am

    if they are so small how do they get around to your bed so fast from wherever they’re coming from…

18. TheGodKingOfMusic on January 17th, 2009 2:28 pm

    well you have to get used to them. dust mites are part of life, they’ll always be anywhere in your house

19. dbqkqh on January 19th, 2009 11:37 pm

    Omg… I’m like… poor… so I’ve had my mattress for like… 8 years?!!!!! OMFGGGGGGGG It’s 11 o clock PM right here, and I’m staring at my bed thinking a possibility of over 20 million dust mites… :’(

20. maxbialystok on January 23rd, 2009 4:06 am

    In April 2008 the Cochrane Collaboration research group published a review of 54 scientific studies of asthma prevention methods, 36 of which involved the use of mattress protectors or casings. All were found to be ineffective against dust mites and the allergens they produce.

    A mattress cover will only protect the mattress against perspiration stains, so called ‘allergy covers’ have no medical benefit.

21. edwardwyla on January 24th, 2009 11:37 pm

    Hrm, i think the #1 recommendation is to cover the mattress with a allergy cover… Notice how he’s not so comfortable with this simple questions. Basically trying to sell his service.

22. katerinatas on January 25th, 2009 3:23 pm

    I’ve tried this in the UK - it really helped with my allergies!!!

23. AlucardRemixed on January 27th, 2009 7:14 am

    i need mines cleaned, and my mattress is on top of a very dirty bed frame with so much dust. i feel them crawling on my skin

24. 411484 on January 29th, 2009 2:26 am

    Here (in Germany) we do get our mattresses properly cleaned and have recommended the type of service provided by the Mattress Doctor to friends in the UK
