Dust mites around Hoppers Crossing live in mattresses, pillows, carpets, curtains and soft furniture, feeding on skin flakes and building up over time in bedding and fabric that does not get washed or aired often. They are too small to see, but ongoing sneezing, itchy eyes or a stuffy feeling in the bedroom overnight can sometimes point to a build-up rather than anything seasonal.
A booked dust mite visit treats mattresses, carpets, curtains and upholstered furniture where mites tend to gather, working through bedrooms and living areas rather than the whole house in one go. The crew focuses on soft surfaces that are hard to clean by hand, such as a mattress seam or a thick carpet pile, alongside the vacuum and wash routine kept up at home.
Homes around Hoppers Crossing with carpet in bedrooms, heavier curtains or less airflow tend to hold more dust mites than a home with hard flooring and good ventilation. Washing bedding weekly in hot water and airing bedrooms out when possible helps between visits, and mentioning anyone in the household with allergies helps the crew work out which rooms to prioritise.
Older mattresses and pillows that have not been replaced in a while tend to hold the highest numbers, so if anyone in the household wakes up congested most mornings, mentioning the age of the bedding gives the crew a better place to start.
