I eliminate mites from mattresses, armchairs and stuffed animals in one go and without rubbing
Mites are silent , microscopic, but problematic parasites.
In the most sensitive or predisposed people, they can cause serious allergic forms , such as asthma, eczema and rhinitis.
To prevent or combat its infestation , it is necessary to remedy the environment in which we live.
Their natural habitat is warm and humid and they crawl between the fibers of stuffed animals, sofas, armchairs and mattresses or pillows. Identifying them is not easy at all, their dimensions range between 200 and 400 thousandths of a millimeter. In short, they are practically invisible to the naked eye.
So how can we know if they are present within our own four walls? Simple, if we sneeze for no reason, our palate, throat and skin itch, our eyes water, then it is very likely that it is your company that causes us all these discomforts.
They live an average of two and a half months, but unfortunately they reproduce quickly.
It is not themselves that cause allergies, but their secretions, feces and eggs, for example.
There is no periodicity related to their proliferation, they can appear at any time of the year if they find favorable living conditions such as: dark places, with temperatures above 22° and humidity at 60%.
We can get rid of them by using commercial pesticides, of course, but they are expensive and contain potentially toxic substances and contaminants. There is an infallible natural remedy that will make it easy to say goodbye to mites forever, without rubbing and without effort.
Let’s see what this is about.
This is how I get rid of mites in my house.
To eliminate mites from our walls, let’s go to the pantry and rely on baking soda.
We already know its valuable uses in terms of sanitation, from fruits and vegetables to toilets and most surfaces in the home. Perhaps, however, not everyone knows how valuable it is also in the fight against these silent and invisible pests.
Let’s start with the shoe rack: bacteria and dirt lurk here, brought by footwear. We left an open baking soda packet inside; It will deodorize the environment and disinfect it effortlessly for us.
Let’s move on to the cupboard, empty it and clean it by spraying a solution consisting of 500 ml of hot water and 2 tablespoons of baking soda everywhere. We wiped with a clean kitchen towel to dry and left the doors open for half an hour before putting our clothes away.
Mattresses and pillows, rugs and stuffed animals , on the other hand, should be sprinkled with a certain amount of pure powder. Don’t be afraid to exaggerate. Let it sit for two or three hours, then use a vacuum cleaner to remove everything.
And finally, we give you one more piece of advice, always related to the use of this wonderful ingredient. If you are in the process of decluttering and renovating your home and notice ink stains on the walls and tables (those who have children know what we are talking about!!), dampen a sponge, add a teaspoon of baking soda and rub gently . Every trace will vanish like snow in the sun!
