There are bugs living in your bed and there are plenty of them. They're called house dust mites and they quietly live off the flakes of skin you shed. Taking steps to control dust mites in your home may reduce the occurrence of allergies and asthma.
Take action:
Here's what to do:
- Fit mattresses, duvets and pillows with air-permeable occlusive protectors which act as a barrier to dust mites and their droppings;
- Wash bedding at 60°C to destroy mites;
- Vacuum bedroom carpets and all other carpets on which children play daily;
- Vacuum the whole house at least twice a week;
- Pull the bedcovers back each morning to allow the bed to air thoroughly;
- Keep bedroom windows open whenever possible.
