The signs that dust mites are in the home

Rebecca Swain, a mattress expert at Winstons Beds shared these following tips:

Dry cough

If you’re waking up with a sore throat and a dry cough it’s a strong indicator that the bed is infested with dust mites.

Itchy skin

The main symptom of dust mites is itchy skin. The critters feed on dead skin cells in the bed which is why it’s important to regularly wash bedding on a 60ºC cycle to prevent an infestation.

Sneezing

Sleeping on an area of the bed which is infested with critters can stir up allergies and cause sneezing and runny noses.

Difficulty breathing

The allergens caused by dust mites can cause your chest to tighten making it difficult to breathe in the night. Make sure to vacuum the room to remove the critters and excess dust particles.
