Make sure your home is well ventilated by opening a window for at least a few minutes

Try turning your heating down one degree

Don’t make your bed as soon as you get up. A person sweats about 300ml every night and dust mites love a warm humid environment so leave your bed to air in the morning

Make sure you vacuum carpets every day and fabric sofas 3 times a week

Use anti allergy bedding, especially duvet and pillows. Your pillow can double its weight in six months due to house dust mite droppings!

Watch out for mold in the kitchen, especially in the fridge and in the bathroom

Make sure fruit is washed and dried. check regularly to find moldy fruit

Use white vinegar for cleaning
