• New Beds/Bedding: Any dust mites landing on the bed/bedding will quickly be killed before they can lay eggs, keeping the mattress and bedding clean as new.
• Existing Beds/Bedding:
  1. Fit Astex "Active" Guards under the normal bedding (Note the date on the washing tag)
  2. After 8 weeks, remove, vacuum (we recommend the use of new filters and bags in your vacuum)the mattress, pillows and duvets
  3. Replace covers* and leave for two years to prevent house dust mites returning.
  4. No further cleaning of the coves is required.

Astex "Active" Guards have been trialled and tested in the "real world" by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine over two years. These trials show that not only were the dust mites in the beds killed but that also allergen levels were reduced from high levels to below the level considered as acceptable by the WHO.

The product has also been tested through over 150 doctors surgeries where asthma nurses distributed Astex "Active" Guards to selected patients. The nurses then monitored their patient's symptoms. The results were collated by Kember Associates, an independent company. Their report clearly shows that most patients recorded an improvement in their symptoms.
