The thought of sharing your bed with dust mites is enough to make your skin crawl, even before they trigger your allergies.
Allergies are a nuisance, particularly when they are in your home. Your home is supposed to be your safe place, your haven and refuge when you are not feeling your best. Unfortunately for those with dust mite allergies, this is not the case.
Dust mite allergies and common symptoms
Like any allergy, your body exhibits tell-tale symptoms that something isn’t right. These can include:
- Running nose and sneezing
- Itchy, watering or red eyes
- Itchy throat, mouth or nose
- Swelling
It can also trigger asthma, eczema and cause:
- Chest tightness
- Difficulty breathing
- Wheezing
- Dry skin
These symptoms are unpleasant for adults but even more so for children. There are several things you can do to get rid of dust mites and they should be done as soon as possible!
- Burn all the things – just kidding. By freezing, boiling, putting in your dryer for half an hour; these will cause the dust mites to die.
- Unclutter rooms – Leave no clutter and dust mites will have difficulty finding places to hide.
- Wash sheets and linen regularly!
- Sunlight – Leave your dust mite ridden things in direct sunlight for a few hours and the heat will kill them. You will also have to remove the allergen though. This can be done by implementing Bosisto’s 3 step system.
The Bosisto’s dust mite products are a natural alternative to the harsh chemicals many people use to get rid their homes of this nightmare allergy.
Step 1 – Spray. Use this on all bedding, materials and furniture on a regular basis. Once you have sprayed, leave for a few hours and then vacuum up the allergens.
Step 2 – Treat. The Dust Mite Wash is great for bedding. It is designed for top loaders so if you have a front loader use this as a soak instead.
Step 3 – Maintain. Wash your linen, towels, mats, etc. with this everyday washing liquid. It will keep your fabrics fresh, dust mite free and smelling great!
Don’t let dust mites and dust mite allergies take over your home. There is such a simple solution! You can find these products in the laundry aisle of Woolworths, select independent supermarkets and online at bosistos.com.au. For more information on new products visit Bosisto’s on Facebook.

After years of attributing my daughter’s eczema to food intolerances we just found out she’s allergic to dust mites. Cue the lifestyle overhaul!
I’m allergic to dust mites !! I haven’t found a product that works 100% yet. But Id love to try Bosistos products! Oh to go a day without sneezing!!!
Cute as they are, certain cats give me the worst rash. so I have to admire them for afar! : )
allergic to dust and pollen
Great product!
Pollen
I’m allergic to housework!! It makes me come out in hives just thinking about it
Mites makes me scratch , dust makes me sneeze, pollens waters my eyes, and the weather makes me wheeze.
Thanks very much for all the information regarding the Dust mites, i know 2 ladies already that can benefit from reading your blog, i did not know Bosisto’s made these products for Dust Mites, Thank you very much, Cheers
D-ust
U-navoidable
S-neezing
T-riggers allergies!
With Bosisto Dust mite product system, I will no longer a dust mite’s victim!
I’m allergic to pet hair
Though I haven’t been diagnosed by anyone in the medical profession yet, I believe I am allergic to wine! 🙁
Yes, wine. How did this happen??!! I don’t know, but it makes me so sad 🙁
Every time I have a glass of wine, I get severe stomach pains. Cramping, horrible pains.
So I’ve had to give up wine. Tragic, isn’t it?
Pollen and dust from a busy road that runs past our house, the insect screens are great but still filter the fine dust inside…. Look forward to trying your products!
Ooh, I will definitely look for these Bosito products when I’m shopping next!
Housework, seriously though my son is allergic to dust and pollen.
The worst kind of allergy, five, yes FIVE kinds of common house dust which makes cleaning horrible. The minute I touch the feather duster, the sneezing begins, then the itch kicks in, and the red rashy face, limbs and torso. Can endure it when I don rubber gloves, but I always forget, then it’s time for the antihistamines that knock me out AND I’m a clean freak, so it sucks!!!!
This said, recent blood tests advised I’m also allergic to cats (which I have one of), dogs, cows, and cockroaches of all things hahaha!!! Have to see the humour in these things or I’ll go nuts.
My allergies go on forever. I’m Allergic to housework, allergic to paying high prices, allergic to rude nasty people, allergic to bullshit. The problems I have to endure are terrible. I have to smile at these people, listen to their stories, pay their prices and clean my house. Some days are hard, but I push through it.
I’m allergic to nonsense, bullshit and hidden agenda’s. Aren’t we all? Sadly it’s an allergy that gets stronger by the day in this world we live in.
My son is allergic to dust mites and eggs. Unfortunately I really hate vacuuming so the dust mites are becoming a bigger problem than they should be!!
LOVE these products! Thank you!
Dust Mite! It’s a hard one to eliminate as dust mite are EVERYWHERE…I have started immunotherapy for it but it can take years to see a result. I’d love to try these products, any help to eliminate blocked nose, runny nose, watery eyes and headaches is a win!
Dust and mites and pollen, numerous foods, the reaction to allergies is so annoying and at times can control our lives, very frustrating.
i’m allergic to bs and not getting any chocolate 🙂
The Frozen soundtrack. If kids play Let It Go one more time on repeat I feel my ear drums will explode on purpose to put selves out of their misery!
DUST it really gets up nose making my sinuses go haywire! Looking like Rudolph isn’t very nice.
Grass and pollens.
Just bees. So thankful I have no food allergies so I can eat what I want
With this in hand I will be Mightier than any Mouse!
I get asthma if there is too much dust around. Luckily my close friends and family have clean houses. Apparently saying your house makes me sick is offensive to some people!
I get asthma from house cleaning sprays.. it seems to be most of them. My son sniffs and snorts all morning. He’s 8 and it sounds terrible and there seems to be nothing I can do but I have only tried one of these. The Bosisto dust mite spray for his bed seems to work about 75%. I would love to try all of these together.
I am really allergic to methane. Cows get the blame for global warming but I think teenage boys are just as deadly. Thank God for air freshener and the bathroom exhaust fan!
I am allergic to grass. I cannot sit on it without breaking out in a rash.
I’m allergic to housework,
I do it only if I REALLY must,
which unfortunately means for the kids,
they are allergic to dust!
With an allergy to dust my son spends his days sneezing, sniffing and coughing day and night, especially in his bedroom. Restless sleep as he is woken up at night sneezing. We eliminate as much as we can but dust is all around us and anything that could help to reduce this will help him have more restful nights and easier days.
I nearly lift the roof on our house with my sneezing. I’ve always presumed it was pollen but dustmites might (pun intended) be the culprits.
My lordy! I can pop this in my suitcase and spray the beds before sleeping with them. My sinuses play up with dust. Vacuuming the bed is a normal thing I’d do annually.
I’m allergic to changing nappy explosions, lucky hubby isn’t.
Also acidic foods, they give me mouth ulcers.
My allergy is asthma caused by pollen, dust and exercise. Fingers crossed I win xx. 🙂
Lately both my husband and I have running noses. I wonder if it’s dust mites!
Thankfully the only allergies we have in this household are bees, but I LOVE Bosisto’s products they are great to throw in the wash for a fresher smell to the laundry!
For my daughter, who is continuously sneezing and blowing her nose from her dust mite allergy. I’d hoped she would have outgrown it by now, no such luck as yet. Her asthma is affected but she is resilient as she’s always is when it comes to just getting on with things she can’t control, unlike her mother 🙂
Not me, but my daughter, Miss 7 is allergic to the freeway! It’s non stop winging every time we go on the freeway and all I hear is ‘don’t you know I’m allergic to the freeway?’
My son on the other hand is allergic to vegetables. So I’m told..
Dust! We have a Woodfire and a mastiff that sheds incredible amounts too, so if I’m not dusting I’m vacuuming!
I am allergic to elephants. I discovered this unusual allergy during my honeymoon when we visited an elephant orphanage in Sri Lanka. As we were booked to leave the country shortly after my symptoms started, we were unable to see a pharmacist and I sat on the plane home with a fiery rash all over my body. Ouch!
I have hayfever especially from dust and my daughter has asthma and eczema.
My allergy is dust,
so stocking up with BOSISTO’s is a must.
to keep the mites away,
we spray everyday!
I am allergic to the sun. Very, very, very deathly, deathly allergic. 😛
I’m allergic to cleaning and suffer extra badly from being employed as a cleaner.
I don’t know what it’s called, but I can’t breathe as well in bed. It could be DUST MITES. Or feathers. Or just my husband I’m allergic to!
Good recommendation, spraying it in the air seems to work.
I can suffer from allergies from dust mite just like stated in the above article, and my daughters sensitive skin can also certainly suffer from symptoms as well. The carpet in the house is a little older and I know is one of the main causes of dust mite in our home. The Bosisto’s Dust Mite range looks and sounds like great products needed in my home. Fantastic to know about, thank you!
I believe my daughter could possibly be allergic to dust mites. We do try to keep our surroundings dust free, have bought allergen bedding etc but still her ‘hay fever’ like symptoms persist. Have tried different medications but nothing so far has curtailed her sneezing/sniffling. It’s a constant ailment. Would love to try Bosisto’s products.
I get allergies to dust around the house. If i dont stay in top of it,the worse i feel!
Pollen on a Spring day,
My nose just runs away!
Itching eyes and running nose,
Pollen is the cause of those,
Bosisto products are really great,
Gets rid of all the things we hate!
I’m starting to think I’m allergic to exercise and the only ‘remedy’ is pizza.
I would love to try these products to see if it helps with allergies
Hayfever. My nose always tries to run away from me 🙁
I’m allergic to bleach – even the smell makes me have a reaction.
I’m allergic to soap – it gives me eczema really bad over my legs, arms and face.
And lately something has become a new allergy but I can’t pinpoint what is causing my nostrils to be constantly itchy and irritated so much i can’t stop scratching them.
I have a son that has an allergy to hand washes, and body washes that contain the nasties. It gives him really bad eczema where in some areas it looks like he is burnt.
I am allergic to dust and pollen….also paspalum grass…Springtime [lays havoc with me
I have discovered that I have some serious food allergies because every time I eat My body swells and my clothes get tighter. My doctor doesn’t agree, he thinks I’m only allergic to exercise.
dust mites is my big problem it makes me swell up like a balloon
I have an allergy to grass, my husband on the other hand is highly sensitive to just about everything. I use Bosisto’s laundry liquid and it has helped washing our sheets and clothes
I think it is the dust mites that is causing my eczema. I never thought about Bosisto’s
My allergy is hayfever as is my whole family! Tissues galore! Alternatively my children’s allergies are anything to do with cleaning anything! Rooms, faces, etc!
Dust, pollen and certain grasses
Everyone in my home has either hay fever or Asthma so cleaning is important
After reading this blog I think i have self diagnosed my self with allergies to dust mites!
Luckily for me it isn’t for an allergy that I have as I am only allergic to certain medications, it would however be a godsend for my husband, oldest son and daughter who all suffer from ranging degrees of hayfever and sinus caused by pollens and everyday dust. Being able to effectively treat the house would definitely help their symptoms.
Dust and a few chemicals, that after I use I have to use Ventolin as I became short of breath
My son and I both suffer from allergies, sneezing, runny nose, asthma, headaches and so on, my poor son suffers more than I though.
Dust mites, pollen, cat fur
Dust is my allergen although it could be the Mite,
Does anyone know if these bugs bite?
Sniffles and sneezes, headaches galore.
Maybe my kids should dust just a little bit more!
We’re very lucky as no one in our household has serious allergies. I have a slight cat allergy but it doesn’t put me off owning two cats and enjoying plenty of cuddles with them. Just as long as I have antihistamine eye drops hiding in the bathroom!
Dust bunnies may be cute but my reaction isn’t! Bosistos helps with that, regularly, and makes the house smell great. Cheers.
Animal fur, rye grass and dust mites cause havoc in my household I have not heard about these Bosisto products so am eager to try!
My children have seasonal allergies
I learned the hard way about my allergy. I’d gotten a job at CBH, the Western Australian grain cooperative, and I was thrilled. I was driving 45 minutes to work each day, doing 11 hour shifts, 6 days a week. It wasn’t long before I couldn’t breathe day in day out, it was a constant struggle. After a few weeks of enduring what felt like breathing underwater I went to the doctors and found I had undiagnosed asthma and an aggravated chest infection all as a result of a very high allergy to wheat dust! Since then I’ve been highly reactive to a lot of allergens, particularly dust, so this would be incredibly useful!
Along with my kids I’m allergic to dust and dust mites,
as well as grasses, pollen, cats and insect bites!
We survive with anti histamines,
but we need something for our washing machine!
I’m allergic to pollen my hay fever is off the chart, I’m also allergic to snoring from my partner it irritates my ears. Lol
My Hubby is allergic to dust mites and pet hair, forever blowing his nose at home!
I’m allergic to ant bites – so if I stand on an angry ant in the yard, my whole foot will swell up like a balloon!
Dust and pollen, the season changes are fun in my household!!
Puffy red eyes, running nose
When all i did was go for a doze!
The itchy begins and then i realise it’s the dust 🙁
Finding a natural product that actually works is a must!
Red skin rash on my chest, its only when dust an pollen are stirred up and I sweat profusely
i so need this with my asthma
Grass! My daughter loves to play outside but it results in uncomfortable itchy bites and watery eyes 🙁 Bosisto’s to the rescue!
Mosquitos! – my bites swell up and itch so much, red and hot to touch!
Discovered I’ve become allergic to rape seed pollen/
I suffer from a common allergy suffered by many Mothers everywhere, HOUSEWORK!
daughter 1 – allergies to dust, grass, cats, rabbits, peanuts, has sinus and asthma
daughter 2 – missed out on all the fun of having the above!
Dust. Has me sneezing and watering at the eyes. I tell my husband I am literally allergic to dusting and house work 🙂
