Simple Steps Towards A Dust Free Home
2

• If you or anyone in your household suffers from
  itchy skin, a runny nose, painful facial
  pressure, nasal congestion or post-nasal drip
  when inside the home (even when not carrying out
  any cleaning tasks), this could be a clear sign
  that dust mites may be prevalent and out of
  control in your home.
• While many people suffer similar reactions to
  dust itself, dust mites are a whole different
  problem.

3

• What are dust mites?
• Microscopic pests that feed on dead human skin
  cells and thrive in humid settings, dust mites
  are not visible to the naked eye, and do not bite
  us, sting us, or burrow into our bodies thank
  goodness! Rather, those who have a dust or dust
  mite allergy, will experience symptoms such as
  inflammation of the nasal passages when they
  inhale proteins in the dust coming from the
  faeces of dust mites, their urine, or their
  decaying bodies gross, right? Anyone can develop
  an allergy to dust mites, but if you suffer from
  hay fever, asthma or eczema, you may be more
  susceptible.

• Clumps of dust are a favorite breeding ground for
  dust mites, and if your home doesnt get cleaned
  as often as it should, you could be unwittingly
  inviting mites in and giving them access to your
  entire home.
• With dust mite allergies affecting an estimated
  20 million Americans, its a big problem, but
  fortunately, one that you can tackle yourself.

5

• If youve been tested for a dust mite allergy by
  your local healthcare provider, or have many of
  the symptoms and so believe this to be the
  problem, reducing your symptoms starts with
  cleaning your home. Now, you can either do this
  yourself, or to prevent your allergies from
  becoming even worse, you could hire a local
  cleaning company to come in and get the place
  dust-free for you. While a one-off clean will
  work initially, its important that you keep on
  top of cleaning so that you dont give the mites
  a reason to come back again.
• Whether you tackle the cleaning yourself, or hire
  the professionals, here are a few simple steps to
  take for a dust mite-free home

6

• Change your bedding on a regular basis
• Bedsheets and comforters etc, attract dust and if
  not switched out frequently, it can accumulate
  and provide dust mites with the perfect
  environment for breeding. Along with swapping to
  allergen-proof covers for your bedsheets and
  pillows etc, you should try to change your
  bedding weekly.

7

• Keep all surfaces clean
• With a few simple store cupboard essentials
  such as white vinegar and baking soda you can
  make an effective and eco-friendly solution for
  cleaning all surfaces hygienically throughout the
  home. Basically, any surface that might attract
  dust and pet dander, for example, should be
  cleaned daily, or as often as possible.

8

• Vacuum all floors
• But dont just vacuum all floors on a regular
  basis, make sure youre getting right into all of
  the corners where dust, debris and pet dander
  might be lurking (even if you cant see it, you
  can bet your bottom dollar it will be there). If
  you have a vacuum cleaner with HEPA filtration
  technology, so much the better.
• Deep clean carpets and rugs
• In the average home, carpets and rugs typically
  attract the most dust, and hence should not just
  be vacuumed regularly, but deep cleaned
  periodically.

9

• Dust mites can wreak havoc on a home and its
  inhabitants, but with preventative and ongoing
  measures to tackle the dust that attracts them,
  you can minimize their numbers and prevent them
  from triggering allergy symptoms. Hiring a
  cleaning company is perhaps one of the best ways
  of reducing dust in your home, and therefore,
  reducing dust mites.
