List of Don'ts & No-No

-No carpets. Dust mites love to hide there. I don't have carpets at home, don't see a need to. I have hard laminate flooring which is also easy to clean.
-No stuff toys. I never encourage my boy to play with them and I don't keep them at home. He has more than enough toys and not having stuff toys is not going to make a big difference.
-Avoid upholstered furnitures, cushions and curtains. I know this is tough. I have cushions and curtains at home. I use the cushions more for back support and I don't hug them. My curtains are washable and I wash them with anti-dust mites detergents. My furniture set is made of wood, hard for the dust mites to hide and easy for me to clean. Leather sofas are a good option as well.
-Don't use humidifier. Dust mites thrive in warm humid places especially when relative humidity exceeds 50%.
I will follow up with another post in future on what I DO to minimize the growth of dust mites.
