My kids have dust mite allergys... there is so much to do to protect them against it. i want to start with there bedding..

i cant afford to buy new duvets, mattresses and pillows...

i researched on the net about Anti Allegy Covers. but there are SOOOO many available from so many companies!

which is best and a good price?? and that will help!

Anyone who is going through this or has gone through this.. i would be grateful for some tips! Thanks.

Freezing pillows , kills the mites , and therefore stops them from defecating (pooing) , which is the actual thing that we ( yes me as well) , are allergic too. Wash the pillows etc as well....and perhaps rotate them , so that you can swap them around , every couple of days or so !

I may be wrong , but for me , the most important items on the list , are the pillows....then perhaps the quilts !

Let me know how you get on "hypnotist1uk@yahoo.com"

I am actively researching new methods now.....with me as the "Guinea Pig" ! What you need to do is look at a website that sells lots of different types, try google to search for them, and then read the reviews about what is the best value for money. But to be honest even the basic cheap ones will help quite a lot! Go to Walmart and buy the pillow cases and mattress covers made for this purpose. Wash everything else in very hot water. http://www.thiscureworks.com/allergies/i... In addition to the other good advice from answerers, after you've thoroughly vacuumed your mattresses and stuffed furniture, use a spray formulated specifically for reducing the presence of dust mites. Just remember what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I have survived some forty years with that on my list of things that I am allergic to. Now when I see most people contacting colds and runny nose, I sit back and wonder where my runny nose went. Moral of the story is, My immune system has grown stronger over the years fighting these allergies off. If you know what they are allergic to Via. doctor testing, I'm sure there is more on that list then just Dust mites. My recommendation is plastic covers, they don't just chose the sheet to live in, they probably are having a carnival in that mattress as well. I too have this allegy. As far as mattress covers I don't use a special one. The one I have came from Pennys and seems to work pretty good. I do know that ya have to vacumm all the time, and the vacumm should be a good one with a filter. Also dust regularly. You can never get rid of all the mites, but keeping their numbers as low as possible is the best defense for your kids. An air purrifier can help too. Also if your kids already have breathing difficulty, be sure to keep them away from cigarrette smoke. It will only make the problem worse.
