Used to always have clogged nostrils when going to bed.
But when I slept at hotels I never had a clogged nose.
Turns out I was just allergic to dust mites.
Bought anti-dustmite sheets / spray and boom, no longer had clogged nostrils in bed.
This is worth a shot. I'll try it
I recommend getting both the anti-dustmite sheets and pillow covers as well as the spray!
A combination of all 3 legit stopped giving me a clogged nose at night immediately.
Edit:
Initial steps I put in the other comment:
My initial steps I took were:
taking bed sheets and pillow covers to the washing machine
applying anti-dustmite cover to mattress
applying anti-dustmite cover to pillows
putting bed sheets and pillow covers over the anti-dustmite covers
spraying the anti-dustmite spray over and letting dry
Hello new paranoia! What can be done with my existing things to get rid of the mites???
Dust and vacuum, often. And with a bagged HEPA sealed vacuum. Vacuum wars YouTube channel does good recommendations at all price points.
I was legit thinking about getting a bagged vacuum but didn't because there's too many options and I got stuck in that analysis paralysis. Thanks for the recommendation, there really is a YouTube channel for everything!
Fire.
I won't let those big bastards win!
The solution to everything really
Anti-dustmite spray helps kill a good amount! I was actually impressed with how fast it worked.
That and getting dust mite sheet covers for both your mattress and pillows is effective and over time will kill them off.
My initial steps I took were:
taking bed sheets and pillow covers to the washing machine
applying anti-dustmite cover to mattress
applying anti-dustmite cover to pillows
putting bed sheets and pillow covers over the anti-dustmite covers
spraying the anti-dustmite spray over and letting dry
Immediately noticed the difference and stopped getting a clogged nose in bed that day
Thanks for the game plan! I'm legit cleaning out the bedrooms this weekend and will give this a try. I had the same experience with hotels but I was like "I guess my nose just, like, really loves that bleach smell." 😆
Where did you get anti dustmite sheets? I looked a few years back and all I could find were $200 medical covers that were basically plastic bags and 1000 different ones on Amazon with 1* durability reviews. I would love to have a "legit" source and maybe some info on expectations.
Hmm I bought these and had no problems at all:
UltraBlock Zippered Mattress Protector (Queen) - Waterproof Cover Stops Dust Mite, Bed Bug, Spills, Bedwetting - Hypoallergenic Encasement with Zipper - White https://a.co/d/594j8Rh
Dust Mite and Allergen Proof Pillow Encasing (Cover); Premium Microfiber (Standard Size) https://a.co/d/8NZkbyT
Pricing for both combined being less than $50
Yep, never thought I had allergies. I was prescribed an antihistamine for a sleep disorder, and noticed this doesn't happen to me when I take antihistamines.
