Top baby tips from Muriel Simmons: Reducing dust
Stop dust from irritating your baby's sensitive skin by washing bedding and soft toys regularly at 60 degrees. Make sure the room is well ventilated and use anti-allergy protectors on the bedding.
Also, try to keep the number of soft toys in your baby's bed to a minimum because they tend to be full of dust mites which can also irritate sensitive skin.
