美國氣喘與過敏防治基金會 http://asthmaandallergies.org/asthma-allergies/dust-mite-allergy/ 內文: Vacuuming and dusting the house on a frequent basis is not enough to remove dust mites and their waste.Up to 95% of mites may remain after vacuuming because they live deep inside the stuffing of upholstered furniture, mattresses, pillows, carpets, stuffed animals, and toys. 翻譯: 只用吸塵器除蟎是不夠的,高達95%的塵蟎在吸塵器吸過之後仍然留在上面,沒有被吸走~~
人家建議的有效除蟎方式: Launder effectively. Wash sheets, blankets, bedspreads, duvet covers, and comforters every week. Water temperatures of at least 130° F are needed to kill dust mites. 高溫水洗!
Reduce household humidity. Use a dehumidifier and/or air conditioner to keep humidity in your home at less than 50%. Reducing humidity is one of the easiest ways to control dust mites. 保持濕度低於50%。
