Controlling Dust Mites

Waking up to the warmth of carpet under your feet is an even better feeling when you know what is covering your floor is also helping you to breathe easier.

Carpets are often blamed for housing allergens that pollute our homes and indoor environments. However, by acting as an absorbent for common airborne pollutants, the filter-link properties of carpets can help to prevent allergens from circulating in the air, improving your indoor air quality and breathing zone.

To help control dust mites, we suggest the following preventative actions can be taken:

* Vacuum all furnishings.
* Wash all bedding, soft toys and cushion covers at 60 degrees. Thoroughly air your bedding, it helps to leave your duvet drawn, so your bottom sheet is exposed.
* Use allergen and dust proof covers on bedding, mattresses and pillows (Encase them in allergen impermeable covers).
* Put blankets in the sun to air every week.
* Brush or shake rugs outside. Sunlight kills mites.
* Vacuuming mattresses will remove some of the skin dust, on which mites feed.
* Thoroughly ventilate your home and open windows particularly in bedrooms, this will help to lower humidity.
* Remove all sources of dampness (i.e water leaks).
* Use an air purifier to remove airborne allergens.
