   You can’t. Dust mites are everywhere in your home and nearly impossible to eradicate. So long as you shed skin cells (and you will shed skin cells every minute of every day of your life) they’ll be there to gobble them up. It’s what they do. They’re on you, in your clothes, your furniture, your bed, carpeting, drapes, and silverware. They share space with billions of other mites, germs, bacteria, etc.

   So stop freaking out before you turn into one of those weird phobics and end up being interviewed on some stupid talk show while wearing a sterile environmental suit. Just deal with it.

   Only if your house is on the moon…

   They are inevitable. Just forget you ever saw those pictures.

   Dust regularly. Wash your bedsheets regularly. Mop the floors. Get rid of carpeting, if you can.

   This is impossible because every house has dust mites. They mostly live in carpets. Removing the carpet in your room would decrease the amount of dust mites that you have along with dusting and vacuuming your room every day. This is just something that everyone lives with and does not think about because unless you have severe allergies, it causes no problems.
