Kill House Mites

MarinaHanes ~ 7 September 2009

Do you suffer from allergies? Well, dust mites won’t help that issue. Dust mites are the size of tiny grains of sand, so you probably don’t even know whether you have them. They thrive in bedding and carpets, and the worst part is that they live off of dead human skin cells. However, there is an easy way to kill these critters and ensure that your room as well as your guest rooms are dust mite free.

First of all, it’s helpful to use fabrics that are hypoallergenic. But when it comes to dust mites, you need some cleaning power. Scandinavians used to get rid of these critters by washing and drying the bedding and then hanging it outside to dry. Apparently the freezing night temperatures are supposed to kill the mites. If you don’t have a clothes line, you can also put your pillow and duvet covers in the freezer for 24 hours.
