Are you noticing dust mites in your home?

That’s going to be a tougher job for you as you need to clean out every corner and every item of your house.

Dust mites are small bugs similar to spiders. They mainly develop their habitat in carpet, furniture, bedding, beds, nice cool damp places that end up with a lot of “dust” for them to feed on. These dust mites if not removed can lead to asthma in some cases.

Now, the question arises- Is it possible to prevent these mites?

A well-renowned company that provides services of the answer to your question in a very simple manner. It advises you all to keep your house clean and dust-free as much as possible which is impossible unless you live in a scientific clean room. Below suggested are some of the proven ways to limit the dust mites in your home.

1. Bed and bedroom — This is the place where we spend most of the time. Naturally, you may shed skin cells, hair, etc mostly in this area. Thus, dust mites make your mattress, your blankets, your sheets, and your pillows as their habitat because these end up being cool and humid. You may also inhale dust and if you are allergic to them may cause you to sneeze, cough, etc.

It is suggested that you must wash all of your bed linens every week in hot water to kill off everything like eggs, larvae, and adults. Drying your bedding on high heat or in sunlight is another good idea and the two should be combined whenever possible. You can even have a dust mite proof cover and wash your pillowcase every week. Wash the cover when you wash the pillow. Curtains also play a vital role in raising the number of dust mites. So, never forget to wash, vacuum or steam clean your curtains once-twice a month.

If your mattresses are too old, then do not use them and call a company that offers services of. You do not have to worry about anything, they will come and get off the unnecessary, old, and dusted mattresses from your house.

2. Furniture and floors — If you’re cautious about allergies, then have a look at your furniture and floors as well. They also carry a huge amount of dust upon them which we usually ignore. This ignorance gives rise to dust mites. Stay away from cloth and overstuffed furniture; instead get leather-covered, wood, or plastic furniture.

It is very necessary to steam clean your furniture to kill the dust mites with heat as told by the company. Make a habit of washing the cushion covers on chairs and couches. Also opt for hardwood, terrazzo, or tile floors despite carpets because they are easy to clean and are not dust mites friendly.

If you have furniture and other items in bulk and are not using them anymore, then fix an appointment with or any other location and get the things done. They will take the unwanted junk from your house, leaving an open space to walk around freely. This will not only increase the space but also reduce the habitats for dust mites.

Make your home habitat for you and your loved ones; not for the dust mites.
