🧠 TL;DR
Dust mites are microscopic arachnids found in household dust. They feed on dead skin cells and live in warm, humid environments like beds, carpets, and upholstery. While they don’t bite, their waste and body parts can cause strong allergic reactions—think sneezing, itchy eyes, asthma, or eczema—especially among allergy sufferers or asthmatic individuals.
🛠️ Proven Strategies to Reduce Dust Mites
- Air Out Your Bed:
Leave it unmade for a few hours each morning to release the warmth and moisture that mites thrive on. - Wash Bedding Weekly:
Hot water (≥130 °F) kills mites—don’t skip the dryer or direct sunlight. - Use Allergy-Proof Covers:
Encase mattresses and pillows with tightly woven protectors to block mites. - Vacuum with HEPA Filters:
Use a sealed, HEPA-equipped vacuum at least twice weekly to trap allergens. - Control Humidity:
Keep indoor humidity below 50% with AC or dehumidifiers—this creates an inhospitable environment for mites. - Steam Clean Soft Furnishings:
Periodic steam cleaning of mattresses, rugs, and upholstery kills mites and allergens deep inside. - Declutter and Wash Soft Items:
Cut down on dust-collecting items like stuffed animals and fabrics, and launder curtains or stuffed toys regularly—or freeze them to kill mites.
