House Dust Mite

Firstly, Dust Mites are everywhere. Though they are more active in the warmer humid areas. Of Course Brisbane and surrounds are a perfect environment for them. People with allergies and asthma are particularly affected. As the National Asthma Council of Australia has noted Dust Mites may also trigger asthma attacks. The Wiki on Dust Mites is here. It is primarily the European Dust Mite in Australia. Dust Mites feed on dead skin cells. And it is their feaces that cause problems.

Managing the home environment is very important to reduce exposure. This includes regular vacuuming of carpets and soft furnishings as well as professional cleaning.

Removing Dust Mites with Vacuuming

Regular vacuuming of carpets and soft furnishings is important. Unfortunately this won’t remove all Dust Mites. However vacuuming at least weekly is still suggested. A good vacuum cleaner is also recommended. High efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter vacuum cleaners are the best for removing allergens. However, they could increase the amount of dust mite allergen in the air for up to 20 minutes. Further, vacuuming of soft furnishings such as Lounge Suites is necessary.

Professional Cleaning

Undertake professional carpet cleaning and upholstery cleaning at least once a year. This will minimise the possibility of allergens causing issues. Professional carpet cleaning machines are able to generate hotter water. This results in a much more effective result.

Remember, removing dust mites completely from your home isn’t possible. But with good maintenance, vacuuming and cleaning you will be able to minimise the effects on you and your family.
