This means tackling dust within your own home first and foremost, and it doesn’t have to be an arduous task. With these 10 tips, it should make your life a lot easier, and help make your spring and summer as allergy-free as possible!
1. Get Those Bed Sheets Washed!
Let’s start with the basics. Clean your bed sheets! Microscopic dust mites love to nestle into the fibres of the sheets, causing unwanted irritation on the skin.

Wash your sheets and dry them away from the floor, so as not to pick any dust up.
