See Them? This the deadliest army that enemy dirt has concocted. When they see the Rocket Maid crew, they not only hide, they die!
What are tips that you can do at home to get started in the fight against the Dust Mite Army .
1. Dust mites generally live and breed in your pillows. Replace them every six months. People who have acne should replace their pillow case every 2 days so that they can begin healing their skin. Dust mites live inside your pillows and feed off your dead skin cells.
2. Please buy mattress encasings. They prevent from dust mite allergens. They also prevent the dust mite's evil cousin, bed bugs inside your bed. They also make encasings for pillows as well.
3.Your pets carry dander that attracts dust mites. Please wash your pets every week. Pick a day and stick with it, that way your pet knows after a couple months that it's routine. Cats carry more dander than dogs. If your cat can't stand the water at all, please buy moist packets that is used specifically for washing cat's fur. If people are allergic to cats and/or dogs, it's the dander, and it usually connects to dust mites that feed off the dander and humans get an allergic reaction from them, not animals.
4.Buy HEPA filter vacuums that won't let dust particles escape through the back of the vacuum. The two vacuums in the market that claim to be superior machines are Miele ($700) and Nilfisk ($1,095).

5. You can buy an air filter. Please make sure that your house is clean before operating an air filter so that allergens don't roam around your apartment. It's also good for people who are allergic to animals.
Dust mites are very small (microscopic). But that being said, they can be harmful to your lungs and cause asthma. Washing your sheets once a week and putting it in the dryer over 150 degrees will destroy them all. Your skin will no longer itch anymore. For people who have adult acne, watch it go away.
So if you suspect The Dust Mite Army invading your space, call Rocket Maid. A once- a - week cleaning is a permanent solution to killing them off for good.
