dust mites

Dust mites are tiny, microscopic animals usually found in house dust. Several thousand mites can be found in a pinch of dust. Mites are one of the major triggers for people with allergies and asthma. They need the most work to remove.

Following these steps can help get rid of dust mites:
1) Put mattresses and pillows in allergen-proof covers. Tape over the length of the zipper.

2) Wash all bedding every week in water that is at least 1300F. Removing the bedspread at night may help.

3) Remove carpeting, especially in the bedroom. Dust mites thrive in it.
