Abstract

We evaluated the effectiveness of different treatments of Japanese bedquilt (futon) in reducing mite allergens: vacuum-cleaning, beating plus vacuum-cleaning and washing of the whole futon in water. Before and after these treatments, small amounts of cotton were taken out of the futon and mite allergens were extracted from the cotton into water. The absolute contents of two kinds of major allergens of two Dermatophagoides species were immunochemically quantitated. We found that beating and vacuum-cleaning reduced the allergen contents by only about 40%, whereas washing reduced the allergens by more than 90%. Therefore, for reducing airborne mite allergens generated from futon, we think that washing the whole futon in water is the most effective method.
