Did you ever think about what lives in your bedroom other than you and maybe your spouse? Think small, probably too small to see without a microscope to the hunt. No, we’re not talking about imaginary monsters under the bed. These little monsters are very real. Dust mites are tiny little scavengers that tend to live on discarded skin scales. They thrive in hot, damp, dark and wet and enjoy dander. Dreadful. Of course, your room and the mattress is an ideal home for the boys, and as you can of a clean room and nice boast that you would be surprised at the cleanliness, you need to avoid hosting the “Mite-y” critters.

First, it is important to know why to avoid, with these guys want to host ordinary house. Did you know that mites the most common cause of increased rates of asthma in children? In addition, the most common cause of allergic asthma in allergic sensitization of the mite. These allergies are rarely caused by the mites themselves, but through their droppings. Yes, here are some things that disgust you, and hopefully motivate you clean your room. Or hell, give this information to your children, and it could be a strong incentive to maintain their own rooms clean. (But I doubt it.)

Mites their homes in mattresses, upholstered furniture, curtains, carpets, blankets, pillows, can affect almost all textiles, and the average bed of millions of mites! The house dust mite is very small, can not be seen with the naked eye and has a lifespan of 90-120 days. While dust mites can leave up to twenty droppings a day, it has the advantage that keep the food from their own excrement. Yes, he saw with his own excrement. If you do not stop!

Note that mites can occur anywhere 60-100 eggs. Then come the math and if it does not induce a sufficient reason to get rid of these allergies eat poo, the mass production of scavengers, then what is it?

So the question is: What can you do to prevent the infestation of mites in your bedroom. Here are some steps to clear the dust devil:

1. They can be a cover-mite mattress and pillow.

2. Many people tend to hold cushions years, even decades! (I saw evidence of decrepit pillows hidden beneath beautiful pillow cases, it is not nice and not good for you!) Release of sentimentality pillows and enjoy with each new year.

3. Beds up each morning to free them and accumulated moisture from air during the evening.

4. Wash bedding weekly in hot water, and while they are away, you can use to clean the mattress with hot water and an antibacterial solution.

5. Wash blinds regularly and clean the floor with hot water and antibacterial solution every week.

6. If possible, a wooden floor instead of carpet is best for the bedroom.

7. Without cutting into an obsession, unnecessary toys, books and stuffed animals. If your husband can not wear some of these soft, it does not matter. He has yet to sleep through the night, so this task with a sense of balance in mind.

8. Keep household humidity below 50%.

Here are some additional tips to not only to space, but for the whole house.

- Never use to empty your pockets and try to get a vacuum with a filtration function.

- At regular intervals, to kill existing mites on stuffed animals, put them in the freezer or in the dryer on a hot cycle

.
- These powerful creatures are not immune to sunlight, in fact, they can not live in it, allowing air to hang in your home and carpets, blankets or warm days.

- Make sure your home is with systems of good fan or open windows when cooking or showering equipped to prevent moisture from collecting inside.

Do not attempt shortcuts that you can take to take a major war against the mites. They are certainly one of the unseen enemy lurking in many homes.
