Instructions

• 1

  Clean your entire home at least once a week. Make sure to dust and vacuum weekly.

• 2

  Change and wash your sheets weekly. Wash your entire bedding, including your pillow case. You can also purchase an allergen-barrier pillow case, which the mites cannot physically penetrate.

• 3

  Purchase an air filter for your room. This will filter the air and rid it of excess dust.

• 4

  Lower the air conditioning in your house. Keeping the humidity down inside will give the mites a much less enjoyable environment to live in.
