Jiffy 2000 Steamer Kills Dust Mites

One of the great allergens during the winter months are the dust mites. Naturally we need to use an air cleaner to keep the dust, dander and mite feces under control, but killing them takes a bit more power. I had read just about everything I could find about eradicating them from my home and discovered steam kills them if it is hot enough. It didn't really take all that long to find that a steamer that is normally used for steaming out the wrinkles in clothing also wipe out bedbugs, dust mites and even spiders lurking about in the nooks and cranny's.

There are some pretty harsh chemicals you can scatter about the house, but the only really safe method of getting rid of house dust mites appears to be the steamer. There is a substantial reduction in allergen concentrations within a single treatment using the steamer that has the heating power to kill allergens. The one mentioned on several websites is the Jiffy® Steamer. The J-2000 Residential steamer is the perfect allergen control for any home and recommended for its ability to produce hot enough steam to eradicate dust mites and bedbugs.

It is proclaimed to clean your home of the largest amounts of allergens. It has the power of steam hot enough to kill pathogens that cause allergies, plus everything from Pet dander to fungus.

I now have this one and have been using it very faithfully to cut down on all the allergens. A quick weekly steam on the bed and pillows has helped my husbands sinuses from giving him grief this winter. While the sheets are washing, I go over the bed, pillows and even the bedroom carpet. It is amazing just what a simple routine can do to change your breathing. The rest we get seems to be more beneficial too. If you do suffer from allergies, sinus ailments etc., try the steaming.
