House Dust

What are the methods of prevention in house dust mites?

• House dust mites can live in all kinds of fabrics. They are especially found in household items such as beds, pillows, duvets, carpets, thick fabric curtains, and furniture that can hold dust very easily. The bed, pillow, and duvet used should not be wool, goose down and should be covered with mite-proof medical sheaths if possible.
• Remove the carpet if possible. If you cannot remove it, use a small, thin rug instead of a full-length wool carpet.
• Instead of thick or heavy curtains, choose thin tulle curtains or roller blinds.

• Keep as few items in the room as possible. Store items such as books, trinkets, and toys in closed cabinets. Remove plush and fluffy toys where mites can live intensely.
• Clean the entire room at least once a week with a vacuum cleaner with a high vacuum or HEPA filter. During cleaning, the allergic individual should not be in the room, and after cleaning, dust the items with a slightly damp cloth.
• Household dust mite allergens can be removed with a vacuum cleaner. But living mites cannot be eliminated. With the HEPA filtration method, the feces of house dust mites remain in the bag of the vacuum cleaner.
• Care should be taken not to keep pets at home, especially in the bedroom.
