- You spend approximately one third of your life in bed,
more time than anywhere else in the home, but incredibly, it is the place you clean the least – if at all! - Six squeamish facts about dust mites
- The average Brit´s bed contains millions of dust mites, which thrive on the humid conditions and feast off the particles of dead skin that we shed every day (we shed around two to three pounds of skin every year).
- The weight of the average mattress doubles after ten years due to dust mite infestation
- Ten percent of the weight of a two year old pillow can be composed of dead mites and their droppings
- During its 80 day lifespan, the average dust mite produces about 1,000 allergenic waste particles. These contain a powerful allergen that can cause irritation and a particular trigger for allergy sufferers.
- A dust mite is smaller than a grain of sand
- Dust mite populations increase rapidly; each egg-laying female can increase the population by 25 or 30 new mites per week.
Customer Comments

- I recently purchased a Raycop and I have found it to be invaluable. My eldest daughter suffers from asthma and doesn't sleep well at night. I have used the Raycop on her bed over the last month and she is sleeping much better and doesn't feel at all asthmatic when she gets up in the morning. I am delighted to have found such a wonderful product.
Yours sincerely
