Doctor: it is impossible to completely get rid of dust mites in the house.
It is impossible to completely get rid of dust mites in the house, but their numbers can be reduced.
The specialist noted that achieving complete sterility is unrealistic. "Even after thorough cleaning, new individuals inevitably enter the premises with clothing, shoes, through ventilation, and open windows. The task is to reduce the number of allergens to a level that is safe for health," the doctor stated.
According to the specialist, the only effective way to combat them is to reduce the number of places where dust mites can actively reproduce. The expert recommended replacing household textiles with surfaces that can be wiped with a damp cloth. She also advised using special covers on bedding that do not allow allergens to pass through and keeping the humidity level at no higher than 45-50 percent.
