Dust Mite Allergy: Control Tips for Home

Dust mites are a common trigger for year-round nasal allergy symptoms. They thrive in warm, humid environments—especially in bedding and soft furnishings.

 

Common symptoms

  • Morning sneezing or blocked nose
  • Itchy eyes
  • Night cough or symptoms that worsen at home

Practical home control tips

  • Wash bedding weekly at higher temperatures (as fabric allows)
  • Use protective covers for pillows and mattresses
  • Reduce clutter and soft furnishings where possible
  • Vacuum regularly and consider HEPA filtration
  • Reduce indoor humidity where appropriate

If symptoms persist, specialist assessment can help confirm whether dust mites are a relevant trigger.
