A. Dust is the accumulation of very fine particulates, the kind that you can sometimes see floating around the air when the light streams through the windows late afternoon. It is not healthy to breathe in dirt. Dust mites are live creatures, millions of them that inhabit our bedding, carpets and upholstery. They feed off our dead skin shedding , mostly happening at night. Many of us are allergic to their feces(this is the most common allergy of all).To keep it simple, dust mite covers on your bedding cut off their food source and so they die. Also they tend to thrive in moist environments (over 50% humidity), so even if you have sinus problems do not over humidify your bedroom. The cheapest way to keep dust mites at bay? Keep the air reasonably dry, a 20 or 30 percent level of humidity will do the trick.
