Do You Share Your Bed With Dust Mites?

February 1, 2016 by Shellie Wilson 7 Comments

DMCP-Products[1]

I was recently asked to try out Bosisto’s range of Dust Mite Products. I love Bosisto’s Eucalyptus Spray and use it all the time. I use it when the kids have a cold, I use it when my son’s bedroom smells like poo. (He has an en suite and clearly has bowel issues)

So trying Bosisto’s Dust mite range actually had me excited. I know small things excite me!

My son has terrible allergies, the kind of allergies that hit at 4am in the morning. He climbs in to my bed sniffling and snotting as we fondly call it. He keeps sniffling until I threaten him back to his own room if he doesn’t stop. Tiredness gets the better of him and he falls back to sleep. I have long thought it was an issue with his bedroom or perhaps the plants outside his window. It never occurred to me it might be dust mites. Since then I have done a little research on these disgusting little bugs and let me tell you, it is nothing but GROSS.

So apart from the fact that they are gross, why are they a problem?

House dust mites can trigger respiratory or dermatological conditions including asthma and eczema. Symptoms can include:

  • Wheezing
  • Coughing
  • Breathlessness
  • A tight feeling in the chest
  • Runny nose
  • Itchy nose
  • Itchy eyes
  • Itchy skin
  • Skin rashes.

So is it easy to get rid of them? Well thanks to Bosisto’s range it is. You wash the washables with the laundry wash. You can use the spray on larger items such as mattresses and items that can’t be washed.  Don’t be fooled though, these little things don’t just hide in your bed, they can be on any kind of furnishing, even on your curtains and in your carpet.

As soon as the package arrived I got busy.

First I sprayed all my couches. I then stripped the offending boy’s bed and sprayed up and down until it felt well coated. You leave it for several hours and then vacuum it and don’t forget the pillow too.

Because I love the smell, I carried on spraying until I was out the room and down the hall.  I used the In- Laundry wash for all his bedding. You simply replace your normal liquid soap with this solution. It’s school holidays so anything that is EASY, is great right now.

I know you are probably starting to itch and scratch, just at the thought of these guys living in your house. Don’t despair I have 2 packs to give-away to two lucky Craftgossip.com readers.

    I live in the U.S., so I’m not eligible to win, but I wanted to thank you for highlighting this product. I just found out my main allergy is to dust mites so I will definitely be looking into this product!

    I would start with my couch too, as that piece of furniture has the most use by our English mastiff, Brutus. Then I’d go and make a start on all the bedrooms. I get the creeps just thinking we may be sharing the same environment as dust mites, so this would give me peace of mind.

Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets (For When You Want to Scream into a Pillow)

Free Printable Downloads for Women 40+ Navigating the Hormonal Rollercoaster

Let’s be real—there are days when being a woman over 40 feels like riding a hormone-fueled tilt-a-whirl without the safety bar. Welcome to perimenopause, my friends. If you’ve ever found yourself sweating while standing in front of the fridge, crying over a puppy food commercial, or forgetting why you walked into a room (again), you’re in good company.

That’s exactly why I created these Perimenopause Calm Down Coloring Sheets—printable pages made especially for those “I swear if someone breathes near me I’m going to scream” moments.

What Are Calm Down Sheets?

These aren’t your typical mandala coloring pages. Nope. These were lovingly illustrated with women in perimenopause and menopause in mind—think messy buns, mood swings, and a whole lot of caffeine. Each sheet includes relatable cartoons, cheeky quotes, and stress-relieving doodles that are way more satisfying to color than pretending you’re fine.

They’re perfect for:

Rage coloring during a hot flash

Cooling down after snapping at your partner for chewing too loudly

Unwinding with a glass of wine and a pack of colored pencils

Quiet moments when your brain fog lifts just enough to enjoy something creative

Why Coloring Helps During Perimenopause

There’s science behind this, promise. Coloring helps lower cortisol levels, focus your mind, and gently ease anxious thoughts. It’s like a mindfulness practice, but one that doesn’t require Lycra or a meditation app subscription. And let’s be honest—when the world feels a bit much, giving a snarky mug or frazzled cartoon woman a splash of lavender and hot pink is downright cathartic.
