The mattress cleaning business is GROWING! The general public is becoming more and more educated for the need of the service thanks in part due to the coverage by national news broadcasts (see links below). In January of 2006, only 4 or 5 mattress cleaning businesses, in the U.S., could be found on the Internet. Now, one year later, the number has increased to 30 or 40, maybe more. As the number of mattress cleaning businesses continue to increase and as these businesses continue to advertise in their local areas, demand for mattress cleaning services will grow.
Here is more proof (and credibility) of the harmful effects of dust mites and the attention that Dust Mite Allergens (DMA's) receive in the medical and business society continues to expand.

Schering-Plough to sell Danish anti-allergy drug http://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory?id=2766821
Jan 3, 2007 — COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - U.S. drug maker Schering-Plough Corp. will develop and sell Denmark's ALK-Abello anti-allergy drug Grazax in North America, the Danish company said on Wednesday.
Shares in the Danish company rose 7.1 percent to 1,550 crowns on the news.
The drug treats grass pollen, house dust mite and ragweed allergies.

ALK-Abello soars on Schering-Plough deal Danish vaccine manufacturer ALK-Abello A/S signs deal with Schering-Plough to develop tablet-based allergy vaccines January 3 2007: 10:04 AM EST http://money.cnn.com/2007/01/03/news/international/update_alk.abello.dj/index.htm
An estimated 150 million people around the world suffer from allergies but only 5% use vaccines, because the treatment can require up to 100 shots by a doctor or nurse over a three- to five-year period. ALK-Abello' s vaccine is produced as a tablet which is absorbed under the tongue, in an attempt by the company to broaden the market for allergy vaccines.
The World Allergy Organization estimates that, worldwide, $20 billion is spent a year because of allergies, including medications, time-off work and doctor’s visits. Financial analysts figure that between $10 billion and $12 billion is spent annually to treat allergies, but only a small fraction goes to allergy vaccines.

Make your bedroom a pet-free zone - or at least keep them off your bed. When that’s not possible, use dust mite covers on your mattresses and pillows and accustom yourself to a stuffy nose and puffy eyes. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15625226/
Bed Bugs continue (and reports will only escalate) to capture attention of the newswires, the hospitality industry, and the general public. Indoor Allergen Control Specialists ( aka, Mattress Cleaning Technicians) are in the prime position for locating and "heading off" bed bug infestations, saving extremely high cost to the hospitality industry and peace of mind for the general public.
Opera soprano sues in NYC court over Arizona hotel bedbug bites http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/ny-bc-ny--soprano-bedbugs0103jan03,0,4320989.story By SAMUEL MAULL Associated Press Writer
January 3, 2007, 5:38 PM EST
NEW YORK -- An opera singer has filed a $6 million lawsuit against the Hilton Hotels Corp., complaining that bedbugs bit her over her arms, chest, neck and face when she stayed in one of its Phoenix hotels in November.
Soprano Alison Trainer says in court papers she had 150 bites all over her body, a "horrific" experience that left her afraid to sleep in a bed, caused her to lose weight and made her uncomfortable about her physical appearance.
"She noticed the itching and the blood on the sheets right away, but she didn't know that this was being caused by bedbugs," Glassman said, explaining why Trainer stayed in the hotel for six nights.
Court papers say Trainer noticed the bugs on Nov. 26 and reported "brutally conclusive proof" of the infestation to hotel officials, who offered to let her stay without paying for the sixth and final night.
Despite the bites on her face, Trainer, who has appeared several times with the New York City Opera, the Phoenix Symphony and other music companies around the nation, has kept her singing commitments since the bedbug attack, Glassman said.
A spokeswoman for the Hilton Hotels Corp. did not immediately return a telephone call seeking comment Wednesday.
Hilton's Web site says it is the leading global hospitality company, with nearly 2,800 hotels and 485,000 rooms in more than 80 countries.

The SterilMattress equipment is NOT just for Mattress Cleaning. In year 2007, the EPA is making a conscious move to educate the general public on the harmful effects of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and the need for Indoor Allergen Control. Unlike our competitors, the SterilMattress equipment is ideally suited to address these problems which allows for ADDITIONAL revenue streams.
Posted on: Saturday, 6 January 2007, 12:00 CST We Think of Outdoor Air Quality Most Often, but Indoor Pollution is a Hazard, Too By Nicole Tsong, Seattle Times http://www.redorbit.com/news/science/791115/we_think_of_outdoor_air_quality_most_often_but_indoor/index.html?source=r_science#
Jan. 6--A truck spewing exhaust prompts many of us to hold our breath when it passes by on the street. But when it comes to pollution, your own home might be just as insidious.
People spend 90 percent of their time indoors, and your home can be two to five times as polluted as the air outside, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Poor indoor air quality can cause health problems like asthma or sinus issues
Still more evidence of the seriousness of Dust mite allergens, is this link:
Group Launches 'Asthma Friendly' Toy Certification Sunday, November 26, 2006; 12:00 AM http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=77727
SUNDAY, Nov. 26 (HealthDay News) -- The weekend after Thanksgiving has traditionally signaled the start of the Christmas shopping season, but as Santa Claus checks his list of who's been naughty or nice, he may also have to make special arrangements for children with allergies or asthma.
Prevalence rates for both diseases have doubled in the past 20 years, and many common household items, including toys, can trigger asthma and allergy attacks.
"Stuffed toys are notorious for carrying dust mites and other substances that can be a major problem for children who take plush toys everywhere they go, including to bed," Dr. Sheryl Lucas, a allergist in Washington, D.C., said in a prepared statement.
To help Santa out, a new program to certify toys as "asthma friendly" has been launched by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America (AAFA). These toys have been scientifically tested and proven to be better choices for children with asthma and allergies.
Toys certified as "asthma friendly" also come with instructions on how to keep them that way.
For example, certified plush toys instruct parents to place the toy in the freezer for 24 hours and then in the washing machine every four weeks in order to kill dust mites and their eggs.
"Asthma friendly" toys are now available at a number of major U.S. retailers. Certified pillows will be available in December and other products -- including mattresses, pillow protectors/encasements, vacuum cleaners, and flooring -- will be considered for certification next year, the AAFA said.

There seems to be a negative connotation (an unmentionable disgust?) towards the idea of "mattress cleaning" in of, and by, itself. For this reason (and to associate with the EPA's 2007 campaign) I will begin to transition the business concept by referring to "INDOOR ALLERGEN CONTROL", "INDOOR ALLERGEN CONTROL SERVICES", "INDOOR AIR QUALITY SPECIALISTS", etc., etc.
For those of you who have researched the ill-effects of microbial allergens thriving in mattresses, you know the number #1 source, inside a dwelling, are the allergens found within a mattress.
