Dust avoidance: House dust mite avoidance is especially important in the bedroom. These can help: remove carpeting, place mite-proof encasements on pillow, mattress and box springs, wash sheets and bedding in hot >135 degree water, change drapes to blinds, and keep humidity low. If carpet, vacuum weekly. Dust frequently.
