   don’t use cotton wool silk you should use PURE nylon or polyester. this may seem gross but they also live in your hair so you should wash your hair alot also you should wash your mattress covers alot because there are always dust mites just not as mutch in synthetic fibers

   you need to vacuum the mattress to begin with and spray it with lysol then you purchase a mattress protector for it and you wash it one a month keeping you bed clean is very important change your sheets once a week and also get pillow protectors to prevent the mites from biting , replace your pillows if they need to be and when you change your bed every week toss the pillows in the drier to tumble and fluff up on cold air this will also eliminate some of the dust , the key to all this is to keep it very clean ,dust is part of the universe and we can only control it .

   If you are looking for a cheap dust mite cover, then encase your mattress with a plastic or garbage bag. Plastic does a great job, it cuts the dust mites off from their food source which is you and your skin flakes. Trouble is you will find it sweaty and the noise of the plastic would drive your crazy. Some encasings are only a small step away from a garbage bag- trust me I slept on one at my father’s condo this last Spring. Every time I turned over that darned crinkle sound woke me up. And I dare not take the cover off; the pillow was at least 30 years old! I was convinced I was sleeping on a bag of dust mites!
