Mites: invisible companions in our homes
Dust mites are ubiquitous microorganisms, even in the most carefully maintained spaces. They nestle everywhere: bedding, curtains, stuffed animals, sofas, rugs, and carpets. These little creatures find refuge in the warmth and humidity of our beds, attracted to the human dander (fragments of skin, hair, and nails) that we shed during our sleep.
Contrary to popular belief, wool does not harbor more dust mites than other materials such as feathers or synthetic fibers. In fact, feathers can generate more dust as they age, which encourages dust mites.
Which duvet should you choose if you are allergic?
For people suffering from dust mite allergies, Lanado offers a range of washable wool duvets with anti-dust mite treatment . This specific treatment, called ESSENTIAL by Proneem , uses 100% natural active ingredients to provide effective protection against dust mites and bacteria.
🔹 The products concerned :
- Washable wool duvets (all seasons).
- Lanado wool pillows.
- Washable wool baby quilts.
Essential reminder : Lanado items containing machine-washable wool are all treated with anti-mites. On the other hand, our non-machine-washable products, such as duvets made from certified organic wool, do not receive this treatment. This choice is intended to meet the expectations of lovers of untreated natural bedding.
A natural solution for non-allergic people
Most users have no problem with dust mites and can choose our untreated wool duvets . These models simply require good regular airing to remain healthy and pleasant. In case of stains or incidents, dry cleaning is recommended.
Please note for mattress toppers:
Lanado Comfort mattress toppers , which are not machine washable, do not benefit from anti-mite treatment. However, their naturally breathable wool composition contributes to a healthy sleeping environment.
Lanado is committed to offering solutions tailored to every need, whether it's fighting dust mites or opting for a completely natural approach. It's up to you to choose the comfort that suits you.
