In brief: according to recent research that we have read, cleaning ducts in a house may not be as effective in protection against dust mites as previously thought. Cleaning duct-work does help in reducing dust from being blown around the house but an examination of the ingredients of duct work revealed that it contained only a microscopic amount of dust mite allergen compared to the amount of allergen found in bedding, upholstery and carpets. So the moral of the story is to concentrate on reducing the dust mite allergen in places other than your ductwork.
