Dust Mite

[Hamburger]

Anyone here use any gadget to get rid of dust mite on our bedding?

@Hamburger I used to use osim dust mite attachment to vacuum. Could see brown liquid after using. Too lazy to do nowadays.

just throw away things that u have used for a while. especially mattresses and bolsters and pillows.

U can use hot water cycle on your bedsheets but they do wear down fast if u wash them often like that. And the elastic band on the fitted sheets will also chui.

Those are real scams... any mattress,  use strong enough vacuum plus keep scraping hard,  will lose a lot of fibres, mixed into the water,  of cos look dark coloured. 

Especially if the mattress are coloured in the first place.

Are there mites,  likely.. but there's alot of magic show too.

New thread la. 2008 thread leh. More than a decade. 😂

Anyway I bought a Xiaomi Deema vacuum cleaner few months ago for my bed. Got it from Qoo10 for about $60 or so I think. UV function to kill dust mites and also functions as a normal vacuum cleaner. Idk if it works on killing dust mites but it does remove a lot of the white dust from the mattress.

looks good.. the UV light shines on the fabric?

but must be careful not to look at the light.

also you need to have a strong UV light and the light cant really penetrate much below thick fabric so only kills the surface mites.

Does the instruction say how long the surface of the fabric must be exposed to UV light when you vacuum? like 5 secs exposure minimum?

Not resurrecting scam thingy but more of addressing dust mite issue. Btw wanna write gadget but became gather. Diao.... 

 

I also see those  handheld vacuum w/attachment. So it's the uv ray strong enough to exterminate the creepy crawlie? 

 

[Hamburger]

Got it from Mr google: And gonna get the vacuum attachment plus the below. 

 

Baking Soda & A Vacuum

Then sprinkle the baking soda across the entire top side of the mattress and let it sit for 15 minutes. After the 15 minutes are up, vacuum up all of the baking soda from the mattress so that the dust mites are sucked away as well as the baking soda.

get a good mattress protector which u can wash every 1-2 months below ur bedsheets. Then at least got 2 levels before your skin fragments/hair reaches the surface of the mattress.

I would think practically. layering of the above reduces dust mite contamination of your mattress. 

Bolsters/pillows just throw after a few years.

Wah, I'm doing everything mentioned...

I'm using waterproof protectors for mattresses, pillows and bolsters. Change every 3 weeks.

I also sprinkle baking soda and vacuum up every month.

Oh ya, and I clean the air using air purifier before going to bed every night.

It all started 5 years ago when my wife's ENT recommended all these.

Prior to that, we both used to have severe runny nose in the morning and frequently had to resort to zyrtec-D to stop the sneezes and blocked nose.

The fact that we have none of those ever since we started the routine says a lot. It really works.

I bought this months ago. Yet to use! 

The cordless vacuum itself is not bad.
