The Concept Of PROmite™

Asthma is one of the worlds ‘fastest growing’ illnesses. It affects as many children in the Highlands of Scotland as it does in our inner cities – we asked why?

Over the years the professional carpet and upholstery cleaning industry in the UK has been classed as a ‘Mrs Mop’ industry. Seen only as the remaining option to remove stains from years of wear and tear - carried out by untrained people with low-tech equipment.
In countries such as America, Canada and Australia where they have acknowledged professional cleaning for the health benefits it has become customary for homeowners to clean all their carpets on a regular basis.
Everyone is aware that healthy living has become a big issue in recent years. We have removed the smog and improved the pollution that hung over our cities a few decades ago. Factories have strict laws governing the amount of pollution they can exhaust into the atmosphere, even cars are monitored for their emissions.
However, the one environment that we spend the most time in is completely ungoverned and in many cases contains many times more pollution than factories are allowed to exhaust. This environment is the one that is increasing the number of Asthma and allergy sufferers each year, especially in our young children – and it is the one that we believe is safe as it’s the one we call HOME.

Something needs to be done to improve our Microenvironments.

Some reports claim that there are millions of Mites in your bed, carpets and upholstery although we don’t agree with such a figure.

However, you can imagine if your bed held only 100 House Dust Mites and each of them produced 20 droppings per day that contained 10-12 sub pellets that’s up to 24,000 pellets per day. If you had only 1000 mites in your bed they would increase their pellets by nearly two million per week.

House Dust Mite faeces have been a known allergy for over 30 years.
Each mite produces around 20 droppings a day.
Each dropping contains between 10-12 faeces pellets (2-10 micron in size)
Medically proven that the House Dust Mite faeces pellet is the main cause, and not merely a trigger of Asthma.
By eliminating the Mite from living in/on domestic soft furniture, especially the bedroom, it should be possible to reduce, if not eradicate Asthma in the UK.
In the UK over four million people suffer with respiratory related allergies (1 in 10 children), predominantly from effects from the House Dust Mite.
Over 2,500 people die each year from Asthma.
The UK Health Authority spends over £750,000,000 a year on prescription drugs, just to reduce the symptoms of Asthma – not to stop or prevent Asthma.
