As you already know, I believe everyone should be sleeping on clean, hygienic mattresses and bedding. I have witnessed, with proof-positive results, the healthful benefits of my family, friends, and customers, who can now spend one-third of their life sleeping on allergen-free or hypo-allergenic mattresses and bedding. I also continue to hear of the health problems people have, sleeping on unhygienic mattresses and bedding.
In fact this past Wednesday, 3/21/07, on ABC’s Good Morning America TV show, the horror stories about dust mites, bed bugs, and microbial organisms were once again featured. View the story at this link: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Consumer/story?id=2963810&page=1

Once again, experts (two from universities and one from the American Hotel and Lodging Association) expressed their growing concerns. I cannot “buy” advertising such as this…fortunately I do not have to, as the national and local media are doing it for me (and for you too, should you decide to get into this new niche, “Home Indoor Allergen Control” industry).
As I have mentioned before, the SterilMattress equipment is NOT just for mattress cleaning, but is also IDEAL for controlling indoor allergens and thereby improving indoor air quality…which just happens to be the EPA’s newest #1 concern also. Visit the EPA’s website at: http://www.noattacks.org
Dust mite allergens (DMA’s) are still, and probably always will be, the #1 indoor allergen. Surely you have seen the numerous recent TV commercials promoting products that supposedly resolve the problem of dust mites. However, in each case, the products being aggressively promoted are nothing more than an over-hyped, reactive, “defensive” or “cover up” attempt, to resolve the problem of poor indoor air quality and indoor allergens.
Unlike ALL of the other supposed solutions, ONLY the SterilMattress service takes a PROACTIVE or an “offensive” approach to dealing with the problems. Our service (could be YOUR service) ATTACKS the sources (dust mites and other indoor allergens) that cause indoor air pollution and not just in our mattresses, pillows and bedding, but also throughout the entire home. EVERY individual will realize the healthful benefits of breathing improved healthy indoor air, especially the millions who suffer from allergies, asthma, and other respiratory illnesses.
My SterilMattress business (and maybe one day yours, too) has been evolving and staying current with the times of today. Combining the “green” ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) light wand with “green” organic enzyme cleaners for typical household cleaning chores not only improves our indoor air quality but also removes harsh, toxic, chemicals from our home environment and our landfills. Toxic, chemical-laden, cleaning products have a negative health-effect on EVERYONE (to varying degrees) but especially to the millions of people who are very sensitive to these products and ESPECIALLY when in use with any one of the many OZONE GENERATING AIR PURIFIERS!
There is” good bacteria” and there is “bad bacteria.” SterilMattress incorporates the use of “good bacteria” (all natural enzymes) to thwart future growth of dust mites, mold, mildew, spores, bad bacteria, and viruses, all thriving within mattresses, pillows, bedding, and the soft furnishings found in home. But did you know, are you aware,…the same enzymes also destroy and kill bed bugs, biting mites (yes, they’re different), head lice, pubic lice, scabies, and even roaches, fleas, and fire ants!
As a “Home Indoor Allergen Control” specialist, technicians are in the proper place to spot outbreaks of bed bugs and infestations of any other critters.
Bed Bugs ~ LITTLE VAMPIRES OF THE INSECT WORLD have invaded homes even five star hotels with a vengeance and at lightning speed. These grisly little nocturnal bugs only come out at night searching for a blood meal. Their residence is our beds and bedrooms.
These creepy crawling night stalkers feast and feed by sucking human blood. They pierce the skin with their elongated beak, similar to a hypodermic needle. Bed bugs inject their victims with their saliva, which contains a numbing agent, like Novocain. They drink until they become engorged with a person's blood and slip off into the darkness of the night, satisfied, until the next night.
The common bed bug (Cimex lectularius Linnaeus) "glues" their eggs into hiding places. The nymphs hatch in about ten days and molt five times, taking a blood meal between each molt. The life cycle from egg to adult will vary between 36 and 120 days. This life span depends on conditions as nymphs can survive long periods of starvation - up to a year!
Below is a link, I don’t know who they are or where they come from, but I do appreciate the free publicity…you have to scroll to the bottom and you’ll see a picture of a dust mite. As you can tell by the link, they are associated with the hospitality industry.
P.S. SterilMattress provides Home Indoor Allergen Control services also, not just the equipment. Over 4,000 mattress cleaning businesses have been started in Europe during the past 12 years or so. During those 12 years, the revenue generated throughout Europe from allergy medications has dropped drastically. These two facts, combined, prove the need for the services. However, for the demand in services to increase in North America and to make my small business grow, it’s necessary to have others providing the services as well. Hygienitech, Mitex, MattressClean, MattVac, MattressDoctor, AllerX, Bane-Clene, and whomever else I omitted, all charge way too much ($5k to $23k) for their equipment. This creates a difficult and hard to overcome “barrier to entry” for many. Therefore, to help “jump-start” the new, niche, industry, SterilMattress is also offering BETTER equipment at the lowest possible cost and equipment that is suitable for additional revenue streams, NOT just for mattress cleaning.
P.S.S. Due to unethical business practices, Commercial Lease Solutions and financing through Bill McCombs is no longer an option.
