• Replace feather and down pillows with those having synthetic fillings. Replace woolen blankets with nylon or cotton cellulose ones. • Remove carpeting and install laminate flooring, wood, tile, linoleum, or vinyl floor covering. Remove cloth drapes and blinds. Vacuuming your carpets and upholstery every week can help. • Don’t forget stuffed animals - regularly place soft toys in the freezer for 24 hours before you wash them, or wash them in hot water. Removing them, or at least reducing the numbers of them on the beds, will help, too. • Keep the thermostat in the house below 20oC. • Keep relative humidity below 50 percent. Try to forsake humidifier use during winter periods or limit it to the bedroom only at night, and then ventilate the room during the day. It will help to use dehumidifiers during high-humidity periods or use central air conditioning. • Clean or replace the air filters on your furnace and air conditioner at least once a month. • Use a damp mop or rag to remove dust. Never use a dry cloth or broom, since this just stirs up mite allergens. • Damp dust the plastic mattress cover daily. There are a few other and quite unexpected suggestions that go against what’s we have been taught for years - for example, a study by Kingston University in England shows that simply by leaving your bed unmade each morning, with the sheets exposed to the air allows them to dry out, and substantially reduces the numbers of dust mites. What a great excuse!
