The bedroom is one of the rooms where allergic symptoms most commonly occur – mainly due to dust mites, dust, mold, and pet dander. Studies show that mites are responsible for a large part of respiratory allergies such as rhinitis and asthma, according to medical societies for allergology and pulmonology. Therefore, it is crucial to maintain the room where you sleep well. Below are the key measures recommended by professionals to reduce allergy sources in the bedroom in a practical, continuous, and effective way. Dust mites feed on skin flakes and accumulate mainly in mattresses, pillows, and bedding. According to allergological societies, a mattress can harbor millions of mites after several years of use. Use mite-proof, water-resistant covers for the mattress and pillows, and wash your bedding weekly at over 55 °C to kill mites. Replace and wash blankets and bedspreads regularly and avoid accumulating items that trap dust like stuffed animals and too many decorative pillows. Dust is one of the main triggers for rhinitis attacks. Medical organizations emphasize that a clean and well-ventilated environment significantly reduces symptoms. Clean damp, avoid brooms that stir up dust, prefer vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters that trap fine particles, and keep the floor free of objects to facilitate cleaning. Damp rooms favor mold, which can also trigger allergies. Environmental health studies show a clear link between mold and respiratory problems. Open the windows daily to renew the air, use dehumidifiers, or apply anti-mold products in cabinets, and avoid drying clothes in the bedroom.
