Things You Will Need

  • Dehumidifier
  • Vacuum
  • Vapor steam-cleaner
  1. Place the wool in direct sunlight. The sunlight will kill the mites.

  2. Leave your bed unmade each morning if you have wool bedding. This allows the wool to dry out and cool. This creates an unpleasant atmosphere for the mites.

  3. Run a dehumidifier in the room or area where you keep the wool. Make sure to keep the humidity below 70 percent.

  4. Vacuum the wool thoroughly using a regular vacuum. Do this at least once a week.

  5. Use a vapor steam-cleaner. Vapor steam can deeply penetrate the wool and get rid of the mites.
