Dust Mite Allergy. This article shows you the best methods to eliminate dust mites in your home. These methods are highly effective and 100% environment friendly.

1. Dust Mite Allergy Solutions - Effective Home Eco-Cleaning Guide
Dust mite allergy problems are rising steadily. Unwelcome mites just love our
warmth and hospitality because we feed them and keep them nice and warm in our
beds and pillows at night. This is not the most appetising of conversations to bring up
before dinner, but it's one that needs to be addressed quickly and effectively, because
the common dust mite is becoming much more of a problem in every home than ever
before.
This is no fun for the millions that endure dust mite allergy symptoms like
sneezing, a running nose, nasal congestion, streaming eyes, skin rash and breathing
difficulties.
Nearly 33% of the population in the UK have some type of allergy, and there is no
sight of this trend slowing down. Dust mites are microscopic critters that originate
from the 'arachnid' or spider family of insects, and they are responsible for over half
of all household allergies in the UK. Allergy UK maintain that over 20 million UK
residents have some form of allergy.
There is no doubt about it - we must banish these unhealthy and unwelcome visitors
from our home. They love to take up residence in our carpets, pillows, mattresses,
sofa, and especially everywhere around the bedding area - oh yes! and in it too.
Removing dust mites and harmful allergens in your bedroom dramatically reduces
allergy symptoms and improves your health.
So how do we get rid of those '0.02mm' micro sized mites from our home? You will
never completely get rid of them all from your home, but you can reduce their
numbers to such an extent that you will find that your breathing at home becomes
much easier, and those with allergies will find a marked reduction in the severity of
allergy symptoms that they normally endure on a daily basis.
Avoid Chemicals For Dust Mites
Dust mite allergy symptoms can be difficult to cope with, but never find yourself
tempted to use any chemical based cleaning solutions in your home, as this will
simply add or multiply the amount of allergens and chemicals that are potentially
inhaled by members of your family.

2. Carpeting in your home is the best place to start, because dust mites like to bury
themselves in the warm, humid pile. If your home is wall to wall carpeting throughout,
then there will be billions upon billions of them breeding in the carpet fabric. Many of
those with allergies prefer rugs scattered around on wooden floors, because you can
take them out to the garden and use a carpet beater to get all of the dust and debris
out quickly and effectively. House dust mites prevention is also important. Tiled or
wood flooring is an option worth consideration if your symptoms do not improve with
cleaning.
Effective Dust Mite Vacuums
Start dusting your room from top to bottom so that it all falls on the carpet. Wipe off
dust from tables, furnishings etc. Next you will need a competent HEPA vacuum
cleaner to give the carpet a thorough clean. This should trap a high proportion of dust
and their mites/faeces in the filter. Do not buy a HEPA vacuum if it does not have
'EN1822' authentication.
Many unscrupulous vacuum manufacturers will not divulge this information, and try to
pass off an inferior HEPA vacuum as a 'true HEPA' cleaner. To be very honest about
vacuums now, there is no point in buying a cheap vacuum cleaner, because they are
more likely to emit more of the debris and dust that they pick up back into your home
atmosphere - which defeats the whole purpose of dust particle retention.
I could ramble on all day about the importance of purchasing a high quality vacuum
cleaner for your home. My opinion is that if you suffer from dust mite related allergies,
you must have one of the better micro filtration or S-Class filter vacuum cleaners for
your home. They are very effective in trapping the tiniest particles from your carpets
and your home atmosphere. 'British Allergy Foundation' seal of approval vacuum
cleaners are worth your consideration too as they have been tested for their filtration
qualities, and how well sealed the unit casing is for minimal leak back of unhealthy
particles.
Yes, Sebo and Miele vacuums are more expensive than others, but they are quality
machines that you can rely on for years and years. Even if you do not suffer from dust
mite allergies - it's still wise to buy a vacuum cleaner that traps over 99.98% of all
dust, pollen, smoke particles, tiny hairs and those invisible pollutants that float into
every home. Vacuums with a high filtration technique literally clean the surrounding
air in your room as you vacuum your carpet. Invisible dust and chemical particles are
filtered through the machine, ensuring that you do not inhale dusty, stale or used air.

3. Some people buy 3 cheap, poor quality vacuum cleaners in 1 year because they break
down after a short time, and they usually come with no warranty to fall back on. A
premium vacuum manufacturer will supply you with a high quality cleaner and a long
guarantee at the same time. Therefore you will always be in possession of a
competent vacuum that gets fixed immediately if something goes wrong.
You really can't afford to buy cheap, especially when you or your family's health is in
question. We spend most of our time at home, and we really should be sitting in a
clean, fresh, hygienic atmosphere breathing in nothing but pure fresh air, rather than
enduring nasty dust mite allergy symptoms.
Steam Clean Dust Mites
After you have dusted and vacuumed your entire home - it's time to get out the steam
cleaner. There really is no better way to clean your home than with the natural power
of pure, hot, dry steam without any caustic cleaning solutions that are on sale in the
supermarket. There are some fantastic steam cleaners on the market that efficiently
manage carpets, upholstery and hard flooring.
Steam cleaning in your home is environment friendly, safe, and yields effective dust
mite allergy relief. It effectively kills dust mites and eliminates allergens and
chemicals, leaving very high indoor air quality. Many modern steamers come with
every accessory that you need to clean your home from top to bottom.
Look for those with the 12 - 15 piece accessory set which enables you to steam the
following - Windows, mirrors and glass, clean grout in between tiles, porcelain sinks,
chrome objects, shower doors, plastic glass fittings, curtains, lamp shades,
mattresses, bedding, all round the bed area, vinyl fabrics, synthetics materials, cotton
and leather upholstery, window blinds, kids cuddly toys, cooker surfaces, oven
interiors, garden furniture, jewellery, straighten out wrinkles on your favourite
clothing, vegetation, clean algae on decking and exterior wooden surfaces.
Always use as little water or moisture as possible when applying to any surface,
especially the carpet as this will take longest to dry naturally. Let dry naturally and
ventilate your rooms for as long as you can. Most good steam cleaners come with a
full set of instructions guiding you best on how to clean practically anything you desire
in your home.

4. After you have vacuumed the entire house and finished steam cleaning curtains,
carpets, soft furnishings etc - and everything has dried sufficiently, you will have a
much fresher, cleaner, more hygienic home to enjoy with all the benefits that comes
with living in a healthy atmosphere, free of dust mite allergy problems, stale air and
allergens.
