Yes! Dust Mites Are Gross

I was just talking to the lady next to me who had just finished reading an article about dust mites. She could not believe how gross they are or the fact she has them in her bed. As someone who has been dealing with them for years I found her reaction a bit funny. I thought everybody knew about them

We took a few minutes and discussed them and what she could do to keep them in check. Of course the first thing she want to know was how to kill them. She was a bit put out with me telling her there is not some deadly spray she could use to wipe them out.

I told her the first thing she needed to do was put some dust mite covers on the mattress, pillows and box springs. That takes care of the majority of the problem.

Then we talked about washing her sheets weekly in hot water, putting her bed spread in the dryer on air just to shake the dust out and the sprays available that neutralize the allergens that dust mites produce.  Think I have her convinced they are not going to take over her bedroom.

The interesting thing is I really don’t know her all that well but I can tell you all about her house. The topic of dust mites has a tendency to gross some people out when they first learn about them.
