Dust mites cannot be seen by the naked eye. They have translucent bodies and are only 250-300 microns long. Their coverings have simple striations that you can see on both the top and bottom parts of their bodies.
There are high concentrations of these microorganisms in the kitchen and bedroom because these are the places in your house that have high temperatures and high levels of humidity. In particular, temperatures of at least 70 degrees Fahrenheit and humidity levels of 75% to 80% are conducive for them.
To prevent dust mite allergies, try to use breathable organic bedding. Barrier mattress covers and pillow zipped covers are also helpful. Refrain from using feather pillows, and be sure to wash all of your bedding in very hot water at least once a week.
Although you cannot completely eradicate mites, you can employ the services of some companies that are capable of killing and removing them by using ultraviolet light or steam.
Another way you can destroy them is through extended exposure to low levels of humidity or sunlight. However, note that their residues remain even when they are killed.
To minimize the presence of dust mites in your home, vacuum your upholstered furniture and carpets at least once a week. You should also clean your curtains and small rugs in hot water. Do the same for your stuffed animals and other soft toys. In addition, make sure that you frequently clean your floor with a wet cloth or wet mop.
You can lower the level of humidity in your room by using air conditioners. Try to lower the humidity level to 55%. However, be sure that you remember to replace your air conditioner or furnace air filters at least once a month. You might also consider using filters that are rated to trap allergens instated of plain spun glass. Lastly, you might want to consider using vinyl or wooden flooring instead of wall-to-wall carpeting.
