      Dust and vacuum, often. And with a bagged HEPA sealed vacuum. Vacuum wars YouTube channel does good recommendations at all price points.

        I was legit thinking about getting a bagged vacuum but didn’t because there’s too many options and I got stuck in that analysis paralysis. Thanks for the recommendation, there really is a YouTube channel for everything!

      Anti-dustmite spray helps kill a good amount! I was actually impressed with how fast it worked.

      That and getting dust mite sheet covers for both your mattress and pillows is effective and over time will kill them off.

      My initial steps I took were:

      • taking bed sheets and pillow covers to the washing machine

      • applying anti-dustmite cover to mattress

      • applying anti-dustmite cover to pillows

      • putting bed sheets and pillow covers over the anti-dustmite covers

      • spraying the anti-dustmite spray over and letting dry

      Immediately noticed the difference and stopped getting a clogged nose in bed that day

        Thanks for the game plan! I’m legit cleaning out the bedrooms this weekend and will give this a try. I had the same experience with hotels but I was like “I guess my nose just, like, really loves that bleach smell.” 😆
