DUST MITES

I am sick of forever having a runny nose, and sneezing and it happens year-round and never goes away. Dr Google tells me I might not actually have a cold, but it's a reaction to dust mites.

Any domestic heroes who can tell me how to get rid of them? Obviously vacuuming and changing sheets regularly would be the main one but if I want to donan utter blitz and reduce/remove any unwanted remnants, is there any method or anything else I should do??

Dust mites are nighmarish looking things, if you see the micrograph pictures of them.
You could try vacuuming on a regular basis, especially mattresses and making up a spray bottle of essential oils Ingredients:
Water: 1 cup cooled boiled water (removes chlorine and other contaminants)
White vinegar: 1 cup (helps to dissolve essential oils and has natural disinfectant properties - see alternatives to vinegar below
Eucalyptus oil: 15 drops (as a potent dust mite killer)
Clove oil: 10 drops (for its acaricidal properties)
Lavender oil: 10 drops (adds a pleasant scent and helps repel mites)
Maybe put some spray into your vacuum cleaner just to irritate, or annoy them if not kill them.
Best of luck with them!
