Wash all of your sheets and blankets 1-2 times a week in HOT water to kill the dust mites and remove the dust mite allergen from your bedding. Dry your clothes on the setting that you normally use.
Vacuum often! At least 2 times per week with a High Quality HEPA Vacuum Cleaner that is sealed so dust and allergens cannot blow through the vacuum cleaners case or around the HEPA filter.
Note: Many lower quality HEPA vacuum cleaners leak lots of dust mite allergens and dusty air right through the case of the machine only to blow back into your indoor environment. These vacuum cleaners are not properly sealed!
Use Quality HEPA air cleaners in any occupied room or open space where people with allergies live or work in.
Stay away from the small, inexpensive lower quality HEPA air cleaners you will find in department stores. This is because these air cleaners will provide a very low air exchange rate per hour even in a small bedroom which will not be powerful enough to do a good job. Also, these lower quality air cleaners may cost less money up front, but the future filter replacement costs can be HUGE! Purchasing a high quality HEPA air cleaner is the way to go! This is because a high quality HEPA air cleaner can save you many hundreds of dollars in future filter replacement costs in only a few years while doing a much better job of cleaning your air.
