Dust mites are known to create skin allergies and asthma and live in your pillow and in your bed by the millions.
As gross as it sounds, they eat our dead skin and are a major cause of asthma and allergies; especially in vulnerable individuals, such as children and the elderly. According to the American College of Asthma, Allergy & Immunology, approximately 10 percent of Americans exhibit allergic sensitivity to dust mites.
As we close up our houses during the cold months, the concentrations of dust mites and their feces increases inside.
Tips: Air out your mattress once a month and on sunny days let the rays shine on it.
Open your windows daily and let the fresh air in. Spray the room with a natural air freshener.
DISINFECTING SOLUTION:
1. Mix equal parts of white vinegar and warm water.
2. Add 2 T. Hydrogen Peroxide
3. Soak a wash cloth in the solution.
4. Wring out the washcloth and clean the top, bottom, and sides of the mattress.
5. Let dry 1 hour.
6. Wrap your mattress with a cotton cover.
7. Wash the cover once month in hot water and add ½ cup of white vinegar in the bleach dispenser.
Do this weekly to control and get rid of the dust mites’ population. Your family will thank you.
