Anti dust-mite


Bought this silk comforter and pillow case during my trip in Beijing, where I realize, that silk is naturally free from dust-mite.









Dust-mite, which causes my eyes and skin allergies, irritations made it a must for me to find for some solution. Not much use doing all the mask, cream, treatment and my dark circles just got worst after a little improvement from my hard work and money, with just a night of itchy eyes. 


Found Options; 

1.Anti dust-mite mattress and pillow cover. It's the advice from a laboratory, getting this Z-Net active allergy control cover, about RM500 covering all my pillows and mattress, as this cover contain chemicals that kills dust mites in days.It's 100% guaranteed. But the price delaying my decision. Its chemical is only effective for 2 years. 
•A genuine product of anti house dust mites should be back by independent test results proving the veracity of the claims. 

 2. Silk. I've got to this during my trip to beijing, that silk is naturally free from dust-mite as it's moisture-wicking. It has a natural ability to breathe and absorb moisture. 

 3. Latex. Latex mattress is also naturally free from dust-mite. 

 4.Cleanliness. Use HEPA(a special micro filtered) HEPA air filter/ionizer as well as vacuum cleaner to clean bed rooms. Water based vacuum are also effective. Dust mite can only be killed at the temperature of 55℃ above. Washing in such temperature and exposing them to sunlight oftenly. Putting furry toys in a plastic bag and keep them in freezer overnight then wash them in hot water could kill the mites too. 

 5.Prevention. Get rid of dust trapping objects like furry toys, curtains, books, newspaper.
