Dust mites are a lifelong and inescapable companion in our lives, and people who are allergic to dust mites need to think of ways to minimize their close contact with them. Today we’ll give you some tips on how to get rid of dust mites in your home. First of all, it must be clear that it is impossible to create a mite free living room, and getting rid of dust mites means reducing the number of dust mites and the amount of dust mite allergens in the room as much as possible. The second thing to remember is that dust mites are very fertile, and after mastering the best way to get rid of mites, you need to persistently put it into action. Where do dust mites like to sleep most? The bed, of course! That’s right, the bed you sleep on! Mattresses, pillows and bedding all harbor a large number of dust mites. Indoor carpets, upholstered furniture, heavy curtains, various decorations, soft plush toys, and dark and damp corners are also the hiding places of dust mites. The first move: let them sleep badly! TIPS 1, often open the window ventilation, keep the room dry and cool; 2, choose easy to clean wooden or metal bed and bed frame, do not use sofa bed or fabric bed; 3, do not pile under the bed, such as debris, to clean and clean often; 4, the feather or down pillows replaced with easy to clean artificial fiber core pillows; 5, the use of down duvet, pillows and mattresses with dust mite function, or to the mattress 6, try not to use carpets, use easier to clean and clean wooden floors or tiles, if there are carpets at home, it is recommended to vacuum once a week; 7, try not to play with soft plush toys, if there are plush toys to clean regularly; 8, use wooden furniture or leather sofas and seats at home, if there is cloth or upholstered furniture, it is recommended to vacuum once a week; 9, try not to use Use heavy cloth curtains, use easy-to-clean blinds or roller blinds; 10, reduce the decorations at home, and try to store various books, sundries and other toys in relatively airtight cabinets or boxes; 11, it is recommended to use vacuum bag vacuum cleaners for vacuuming. The dust bag vacuum cleaner uses the high speed centrifugal force formed by the rotation of air in the dust collection barrel to separate dust and air, the dust falls into the dust collection barrel due to gravity, reducing clogging, the horizontal suction force is lasting and strong, and the separated air is discharged through the motor protection filter and high efficiency HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air. High Efficiency Particulate Air) filtered and discharged, free of dust mites and dust mite allergens, eliminating secondary pollution. What do dust mites like to eat most? Human skin shedding dander, which is high in protein! The human skin sheds a lot of inactive keratinocytes every day, which is called “dead skin”. The “dead skin” shed by healthy skin is invisible to the naked eye, and each person sheds about 0.7 grams of dander per day, which is an ample food source for dust mites. If you have small dogs and cats at home, the hair and dander they shed is an inexhaustible ration. So we have to cut off the dust mite’s food and let them starve! Tips 1, diligent bathing, personal hygiene; 2, the living room should be cleaned and vacuumed regularly, generally recommended 1-2 times a week; 3, do not have pets. The third trick: so that they can not reproduce Temperature and humidity are important conditions that affect the survival and reproduction of dust mites, the optimal temperature is 25 ± 2 ℃, relative humidity of 75% – 80%. In the north, spring and fall are the peak of dust mite reproduction, while the southern air is humid and conducive to dust mite growth and reproduction in spring, summer and fall. When dust mites are in a 40℃ environment for 24 hours, 45℃ environment for 8 hours, 50℃ environment for 2 hours, 60℃ environment for 10 minutes will die; of course the temperature is too low, below 0℃ environment for 24 hours, dust mites can not survive. Therefore, small items or toys washed and scalded with boiling water or put in the refrigerator to freeze can remove mites. In the cold winter months, placing mattresses and pillows outside for 24 hours can also kill dust mites, but for those who live in the south, this solution does not work. When the relative humidity of the environment is below 60% dust mites can not reproduce, below 50% can not survive. One study found that continuously below 50% humidity, even when the temperature is 25-34°C, adult mites will die within 5-11 days due to dehydration. It is easier to reduce indoor humidity than to control the temperature. Using high performance dehumidifiers and air conditioners indoors to reduce relative humidity is a practical and effective way, but it is also necessary to clean or replace the dust collector or filter of the air conditioner frequently. Tip 4: Also help them clean their feces Dust mite feces is the main allergen that causes dust mite allergies, where the most important allergens are various enzymes and active protein-like substances. Although the majority of dust mites are killed, their feces and carcasses still persist in the room and cause allergies, so we have to keep helping them clean up their “poop”! Tips 1, dust mite allergens can be dissolved in water, it is recommended to use wet rags to clean furniture, floors and other surfaces after vacuuming to more thoroughly remove dust mite feces and corpses; 2, weekly cleaning of bed sheets, pillows, covers and other bedding and clothing with hot water above 55 degrees Celsius can not only kill dust mites, but also inactivate dust mite allergens, or use dryers 55 degrees Celsius for more than 10 minutes to dry clothes; 3, small items and stuffed toys can be frozen. Pieces and stuffed toys can be frozen in the -18℃ refrigerator freezer for 24 hours, which can also kill dust mites and inactivate dust mite allergens; 4. Washing your hair every day is also a way to control dust mite allergens; 5th trick: moving Dust mites moving? Wrong, you move! Dust mites cannot survive in places where the temperature is too high or too low, in dry climates, and at altitudes above 1,500 meters. If you have used the above four tricks to get rid of dust mites and still can’t prevent them, then there is only this last trick left: flash! Where to flash? The following chart for your reference
