Invisible to the naked eye, these tiny creatures that invade the mattress can turn a comfortable bed into a very uncomfortable, sleep-depriving place. In fact, dust mites can cause a variety of problems, including the risk of allergies, skin irritations and respiratory problems such as asthma.

To get rid of dust mite infestation, it is best to clean the mattress regularly, using natural products instead of chemicals.

Some natural tips for getting rid of dust mites

One of the most common natural remedies is baking soda, which can eliminate dust mites. This white powder also helps to eliminate bad odors and keep mattresses fresh and clean.

To get the most out of this product, sprinkle your mattress with a generous amount of baking soda. Leave it on for a few minutes before scrubbing it with a brush. Then wait a few more minutes. After this time, remove the residue with a vacuum cleaner or beat the mattress in the open air.

You can also turn the mattress over periodically. In this way, its weight will be evenly distributed and dust mites will not settle in certain areas.
