Q
Do I need to thoroughly disinfect and remove dust mites at home?
Rather than disinfection, the more effective ways to reduce house dust mites are: wash bedding often (hot water above 55°C or tumble dry), lower indoor humidity, reduce the buildup of fabrics and plush toys, and keep rooms ventilated. Disinfectants have limited effect on house dust mite allergen itself.
