Book and house dust together with its microscopic inhabitants - ticks - a strong household allergen. Dust mites themselves are not dangerous, but after themselves they leave a lot of waste products that are toxic to the human body. It is impossible to completely get rid of these microorganisms invisible to the naked eye, but you can try to make your home hypoallergenic.
The first thing to do in the fight against dust mites is to free the apartment from unnecessary things that collect and accumulate dust: carpets, skins, heavy bedspreads, curtains and an abundance of soft toys. Pillows with feather fillings often take out in the bright sun or frost for ventilation, hand in for cleaning, because it is quite difficult to wash and dry the pen yourself. It will be better if you replace them with an alternative option - pillows with sintepon, holofiber or other synthetic fibers.
The best way to get rid of dust is wet cleaning, which is best done every day. Before cleaning the floor, vacuum all fabric and floor coverings. Keep in mind that ordinary vacuum cleaners leave almost 30% of the dust in the air. Therefore, the ideal option for the home is a washing vacuum cleaner with an aquafilter. The dust in such devices is destroyed in the water without settling on the surfaces, and the vacuum cleaner itself also cleans and moisturizes the air during operation.
Wipe furniture and appliances regularly with a damp cloth or antibacterial wipes soaked in special products. Helps to get rid of dust mites and a 20% solution of salt, if you wash it with all the surfaces in the house. Change bed linen once a week, and add acaracid and tick-borne additives to the water during washing. For humans, they are safe, but harmful to microorganisms.
Mattresses and upholstered furniture can be cleaned as follows. Dampen an old sheet or piece of cloth in water, cover it with a sofa, and then carefully knock it out with a clapper-beater. Rinse the sheet in warm water as it becomes dirty and repeat the procedure until the fabric remains clean. After knocking out, vacuum the upholstered furniture, heat the iron and iron the sofa, turning on the steam function. From this procedure, the ticks that live in the furniture will die, and you just have to once again walk along the surface with a vacuum cleaner to remove the remains of the deceased organisms.
The salvation for people suffering from dust mites are cleaners with a water filter. Such devices purify the air even from the smallest dust and harmful microorganisms.
