House Dust Mite Allergy Sufferers

[PlasticFlamingo]

We are moving soon and I have 1 child, possibly 2, who are allergic to the dust mite.

I was wondering whether curtains or blinds are better for them, to reduce the mites.

So, what do you have in your house?

Thanks.

I think blinds are better, but I bought a steamer, this one to be exact and since using that, I've noticed a huge difference. Steam the little buggers out and run the vacuum hose over the curtains is what I do, but we do have blinds too.

This is an excellent guide, for each room of the house.

There have been a few threads about steamers on here, I think I may be persuaded :)

Thanks for the link plupedantic that's very useful.

blinds definitely and wood floors preferred ..be careful too with bedding...

One thing to be aware that you might not have considered is move day itself.

I'm asthmatic with a dust mite allergy and we moved back in February - discovered that unfortunately ds2 has the same. :(

When all the furniture got moved it kicked up a ton of dust from behind/underneath. We had a very rough few days so if you have any medication for them, it's a good idea to make sure you're stocked up that week.
