About ULTRAFRESH: information from DUNLOP FOAM website:
Recent evidence has shown that the home environment can be a major contributor to health problems. It seems the more comfortable we make our homes by insulating, carpeting, furnishing and sealing off from the outside world - as well as bringing pets into the home - the more we create health hazards.
We are creating environments in which the causes of serious health problems can proliferate: moulds, mildew, fungus, bacteria and perhaps the greatest culprit of all, the house dust mite, which has been proven to be a significant trigger for asthma, hayfever, rhinitus and even eczema.
Dunlop Foams is providing this information to help increase awareness and understanding of these problems and the steps you can take to minimise them.
The facts are that in Australasia 1 in 4 children, 1 in 7 adolescents and 1 in 10 adults suffer from asthma symptoms.
Hundreds of people die from asthma each year; asthma is the major cause of hospitalisation for children and it is estimated to cost the community in Australia alone over $580 million annually; the prevalence of asthma in children is growing by 1% every year.
Research in Australasia and around the world has revealed that up to 85% of people with asthma are allergic to the house dust mite.
It has also been shown that babies exposed to these allergens are more susceptable to asthma in later life.
Dust Mites, Mould and Mildew

Implementing the strategies outlined in this section will go a long way to controlling the causes of health problems in the home.
But in the case of soft furnishings and mattresses for example, it's simply not a practical proposition to pop them into the washing machine or the freezer.
Of course you can, and should, clean the surfaces, but this won't get to mites, mould and mildew that live deeper down in their cosy and protected environment.
Laboratory tests show that foams, fibres and fabrics treated with Ultra-Fresh� at the manufacturing stage, provide effective control of house dust mites as well as the growth of destructive mould, mildew and fungi - important triggers for allergic and asthmatic responses, particularly in children.
Ultra-Fresh� is a proven anti-microbial compound that has passed the most stringent international testing procedures for efficacy and safety.
In fact Ultra-Fresh� has been performance proven in many applications over forty years
