SoPure Dust Mite Family Spray

The SoPure Mite-Free Dust Mite Family Spray is a lavender-scented fabric spray designed to neutralise the allergy-causing proteins found in dust mites and their waste on the soft furnishings around your home. It's made to be used on the fabrics your family lives with every day — beds, pillows, cots, curtains, carpets, car seats and fluffy toys — as part of a regular cleaning routine rather than a once-off treatment.

Dust mites and their waste are a common trigger for household sensitivities, and this spray is designed to help reduce those triggers on fabric surfaces. SoPure links regular use to easing everyday reactions such as sneezing, nasal congestion and itchy skin, so if dust-sensitive fabrics are a concern in your home, it gives you a simple way to work over bedding and play items week to week. It's applied as a fine mist that dries without leaving a residue behind on treated fabrics.

The formula is fragranced with lavender essential oil rather than a synthetic scent, and SoPure describes it as biodegradable. It's made without harmful insecticides, animal tallow, chlorohexidine, benzalkonium chloride or petrochemicals, and it's alcohol-free — useful detail if you're paying attention to what goes onto the fabrics a baby lies against or mouths. It's available in a 60 ml size that's handy for prams and outings, a 500 ml bottle for everyday home use, and a 5 litre option for larger or more frequent jobs.

How to Use

1. Make sure the fabric surface is clean before you start.
2. Shake the bottle well.
3. Holding the bottle about 50 cm from the surface, spray over the fabric and into the air. It can be used as-is on beds, pillows, cots, curtains, carpets, car seats and fluffy toys.
4. Allow 5 minutes of contact time.
5. For best results, apply weekly.

As with any new product on fabric, it's worth spot-testing a hidden area first to check for colourfastness before treating the whole item.

Best For

The SoPure Dust Mite Family Spray is a good option for parents who:

• Want to work dust-mite allergen care into a weekly routine across bedding, cots and soft furnishings
• Prefer a lavender essential-oil fragrance over a synthetic scent
• Are paying attention to what goes onto fabrics their baby sleeps on or plays with
• Would like a smaller size for prams and travel alongside a larger bottle for home

It may not be the right fit if you're looking for a cleaner for hard, sealed surfaces or feeding equipment — this one is made for fabric and soft furnishings.

Good to know

Store the bottle upright and out of the reach of children, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. In case of accidental contact with the eyes, rinse thoroughly with water. In case of skin irritation or ingestion, contact the Poisons Information Centre on 021 689 5227 and seek medical advice. Follow the manufacturer's care instructions for safety-critical baby gear such as car seats before treating harnesses or foam.
