A ten year old mattress weighs double what it did when it was new, because of the -ahem- debris which is absorbed through the years. That debris includes dust mites (their droppings and their decaying bodies), mold, millions of dead skin cells, dandruff, animal and human hair, secretions, excretions, lint, pollen, dust, soil, sand and a lot of perspiration, of which the average person loses a quart per day.

I forget the %...but MOST (like thing very high percentage) of the dust in your home is dead skin cells.


(I think it was something like 80-90%).

Happy Dusting!

I'm offended by anything with the word "ball" in it. But seriously, I have no idea what you're talking about. I deleted a post I made...it was about men and their lack of brains. No offense.
