How to minimise house dust mites - Top 10 products
1. Dust mite protectors - create a barrier
Using dust mite mattress, pillow and duvet protector prevents dust mites from infiltrating your mattress and bed, thereby establishing a protective barrier between the allergens and you.
2. Dehumidifier - create an inhospitable environment
Use a dehumidifier to maintain indoor humidity below 50%. Dehumidifier helps prevent dust mite growth as they thrive in humidity.
3. HEPA filter air purifier - eliminate airborne allergens
Minimise dust mite allergens from the air by using true HEPA filter air purifier. HEPA filters are designed to trap small particles like dust mites, pollen, and pet dander. Make sure to choose an air purifier that's the right size for your room, and clean or replace the filter regularly.
4. Vacuum
Use HEPA filter vacuum cleaner that traps allergens and does not release them back in the air therefore minimising allergen load in the environment.
5. Steamer
Soft furnishings, such as curtains, cushions, and stuffed animals can become breeding grounds for dust mites. If you can't replace them, steam them where possible to minimise dust mite allergens.
6. Spray to neutralise allergens
Spray can reduce dust mite populations and help alleviate dust mite allergies by targeting and neutralising the allergenic particles they produce. Don't forget to vacuum dust mite particles after neutralising them.
7. Minimise allergens by dusting and cleaning
Dust and mop regularly with a damp microfibre cloth to prevent dust mites from accumulating. Consider using vacuum cleaner with mop functionality to help with collecting dust. Don't overlook hard to reach spots like baseboards and ceiling fans.
8. Bedding - choose materials that resist allergens
By having a few bedding sets made from allergy friendly materials that can be washed and frozen regularly, will enable you to control dust mites in your sleeping environment. See our top tip in the first step.
9. Allergy friendly bedding

10. Hygrometer - monitor your air quality
A hygrometer assists in managing dust mite allergies by enabling precise control of indoor humidity levels, which, when kept below 50%, can discourage dust mite proliferation and reduce allergy symptoms.
