Take action:
Don't overfill your bedroom with furniture; choose light furniture with clean lines that can easily be cleaned and moved around; put books, CDs and toys in cupboards and keep cupboards and cupboard doors closed so that house mites do not settle inside; heaps of books, dried flowers, thick drapes and curtains all gather dust – limit the presence of these in a bedroom if you are unable to keep it spotlessly clean; tiles and loose mats are easier to keep clean than wall-to-wall carpets – choose short pile carpets or cotton mats that can be kept clean more easily than long pile carpets.
