Live With Allergies to Dust Mites - Encase mattresses, box springs and pillows in plastic covers. Special covers are now sold for this purpose, but any plastic cover will do as long as it is airtight.
Buy a natural latex mattress. Natural latex is completely resistant to dust mites, as well as being very good for your back.
Remove clutter such as books and magazines from rooms - these are prime dust targets.
Wash bedding in hot water. It will kill all dust mites. Cold water will only remove about 90 percent of them. Change bedding once a week.
Dry clean drapes and other nonwashable items - this will get rid of dust mites.
Despite dust mites' microscopic size, they can be a significant cause of your allergic reactions. They thrive in moist, warm environments, on a diet of human skin flakes - which are especially abundant in your bedding. The following steps will help you get rid of dust mites in your home and breathe a little easier.
