After a few days, when the onions begin to lose their potency or start decomposing, replace them with fresh slices.
Use in Bedding:
For dust mites in your bedding, place the onion slices around the mattress (but not directly on it). You can also put them near pillows and comforters.
Alternative Method – Red Onion Water Spray:
Another option is to boil the onion slices in water for about 20 minutes, then strain the liquid into a spray bottle.
Use this onion-infused water to spray on carpets, upholstery, or other areas where dust mites are present. Let it dry naturally.
Benefits:
The strong sulfuric compounds in red onions help to repel dust mites and reduce allergens in the environment.
It's a natural solution that avoids harsh chemicals and pesticides.
Important Notes:
While red onions may help reduce dust mites, they may not eliminate them completely. Combine this method with regular cleaning, such as washing bedding and vacuuming with a HEPA filter, to create a comprehensive dust mite control strategy.
By following these simple tricks with red onions, you can take a natural step toward a cleaner, less allergenic environment!
