Here’s a recipe to not only clean your mattress, but to repel dust mites as well! Dust mites love to live in places like your mattress! They feed off of skin flakes! It freaks me out thinking of them living in my mattress! They also can make you sick if you’re sensitive to them. They can give you symptoms like hay fever or asthma. So you’re definitely better off if you’re not sharing your bed with them!
You’ll need a glass jar, like a mason jar, 1 cup baking soda, and ten drops essential oil.
The best oils to use to repel dust mites are: lavender, which will also help you sleep, eucalyptus, peppermint, clove, and rosemary.
You’ll want to strip your bed linens and wash in hot water to clean the linens as well.
Put baking soda in the jar with the essential oils and shake to distribute evenly. Then use a sifter to sift over your mattress, evenly spreading the baking soda mixture. Leave mixture on for an hour at least, but the longer you leave it on, the better! Then vacuum up with your vacuum’s hose attachment.
Repeat every two to three months to keep your mattress clean!
