How to Remove Dust Mites From a Mattress Fast

Once your mattress is clean, it’s important to maintain a dust-mite-free environment. Wash all bedding, pillowcases, and mattress covers in hot water (at least 130°F or 54°C) to kill any mites lingering on your linens. Additionally, consider using a dust-mite-proof mattress encasement to prevent future infestations. This protective cover will keep mites from entering or exiting the mattress.

To keep dust mites at bay long-term, manage the humidity levels in your bedroom, as they thrive in moist environments. Using a dehumidifier or air conditioner to maintain humidity below 50% can significantly reduce the chances of dust mites returning. Regularly air out your mattress and let it sit in the sun whenever possible, as sunlight helps naturally eliminate dust mites and moisture.
