- While using onions to combat dust mites, ensure your home is well-ventilated. Open windows and use fans to circulate air, reducing humidity levels which dust mites thrive in.
- In conjunction with using red onions, regular cleaning is essential. Vacuum carpets, rugs, and upholstery frequently using a HEPA filter vacuum cleaner. Wash bedding in hot water weekly to kill any dust mites residing there.
Additional Tips:

Using red onions to combat dust mites offers a natural, safe alternative to chemical repellents, making your home more comfortable and allergy-friendly. Give these simple tricks a try and enjoy a cleaner, healthier living environment.
