How to create a hypoallergenic and anti-mite home life?
Allergies occur and are closely related to the home environment dust mites, cockroaches, mold, dust, chemical coatings, etc., all make us fall into an allergy crisis without knowing it. Join us now to create a hypoallergenic and anti-mite home living environment.
Seven steps to create a hypoallergenic home anti-mite
1.Keep ventilated and dry
If the bathroom does not have an external window, but it is in the room, the diffused water vapor will also fill the bedroom after taking a shower, which just provides the most suitable environment for dust mites to grow. Keeping your home dry and ventilated can help prevent the growth of mold and dust mite allergens by designing a separate vent for the bathroom, using a dehumidifier, opening windows in good weather, and keeping your home dry and ventilated.
2. Choose hard furniture
Wooden furniture is not easy to accumulate dander, which can naturally reduce the living space of dust mites. If you feel that a wooden sofa is not comfortable enough, a leather sofa, a material that does not allow dander to penetrate into the seat cushion, is also better than a cloth sofa.
3. Reduce linen in open spaces at home
Carpets, cloth curtains and stuffed toys are common places for dust mites to hide. Use wood floors, blinds and other easy-to-clean materials, which are more suitable for allergic families. Clothes at home should also be placed in the closet to avoid accumulation of dander and dust, which can become the residence of dust mites.
4. Choice of mattress protector
According to research, more than 2 million dust mites have been accumulated in the mattress for half a year, so every mattress needs a protective pad. Choose Silentbedding's waterproof and breathable bed bottom protection cover to better and completely prevent dust mites.
5. Choose natural tea tree oil
Emeritus Professor Xu Erda said that insecticides have limited effectiveness against dust mites, and they are harmful to humans when sprayed in places where family members often come into contact with them. Use natural mite repellants such as tea tree, eucalyptus (eucalyptus) essential oils, and other plants that dust mites hate, without causing a burden on your body.
6. Wash bedding frequently with water
Although sunlight can kill dust mites, it cannot take away dust mites and feces. Therefore, the best way to eliminate dust mites is to wash them frequently. The pillows and stuffed toys that children put on the bed can also be thrown into the freezer first. After the dust mites are killed by the low temperature, they can be washed with water.
7. Regularly clean the air conditioner filter
The air conditioner filter often absorbs a lot of dust and becomes a gathering place for dust mites. When opened, dust mites and allergens will be blown out with the air conditioner. It is recommended to regularly clean the filter every month.
