Crisp sheets, plump pillows, a warm, clean place where you can escape the grime and the grind of everyday existence.</p><p>RICHARD AMBROSE: Or can you? Just how clean is your bed? Well you might be horrified at the things you could sleep with.</p><p>JONNY PHILLIPS V/O: Meet Harry and his chums. Harry's a dust mite. Or, <em>D</em><em>ermatophagoides pteronyssinus</em>.\u00a0 Try saying that ten times quickly. He's an ugly sucker. But fortunately you'll never come face to face with him. At just .2 to .3 of a millimetre long, it's virtually impossible to see him with the naked eye. And he'll certainly never see you because he hasn't got any eyes.</p><p>JONNY PHILLIPS: For the average bed, there can be anything from 100,000 to 2 million dust mites.</p><p>RICHARD AMBROSE: It's extraordinary. In a 2 year old pillow, the weight of it, 10 per cent of it could be dead mites and their excretions.</p><p>JONNY PHILLIPS: Eurr. And you know what they live on? Dead skin cells. If it wasn't for them we'd probably be wading around in dead skin.</p><p>RICHARD AMBROSE: They do a great job.</p><p>JONNY PHILLIPS: Yeah, good housekeepers. Bye Harry. Keep up the good work.</p><p>RICHARD AMBROSE: Good night sleep tight.</p>",
