A good place to start in the prevention of dust
mites is in your bedroom.
• Encase all bedding, pillows, box spring,
and mattresses in anti-allergen, dust-proof covers.
• Wash your bedding and blankets in hot
130 degree water weekly.
• Clean your house weekly with cloths and
cleaning tools that trap dust rather than simply move it around
or release it back into the air.
• Keep humidity levels below 50% by using
an air conditioner or dehumidifier.
• If possible, remove carpets in the bedroom,
or vacuum frequently using a HEPA filtered vacuum cleaner.
