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.
我们评估了日本被褥（蒲团）的不同处理方式在减少螨虫过敏原方面的效果：真空吸尘、拍打加真空吸尘以及将整个蒲团水洗。在这些处理前后，从蒲团中取出少量棉花，并将棉花中的螨虫过敏原提取到水中。通过免疫化学方法对两种尘螨属的两种主要过敏原的绝对含量进行了定量分析。我们发现，拍打和真空吸尘只能将过敏原含量降低约40%，而水洗则可将过敏原降低90%以上。因此，为了减少蒲团产生的空气中的螨虫过敏原，我们认为将整个蒲团水洗是最有效的方法。
