Here are the following things that are recommended by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease that you can do to keep your allergies from acting up:

1.) Encase all your mattresses and box springs in a dust-proof covering.

2.) Keep all your animals away from the parts of the house that are usually inhabited; all bedrooms.

3.) Remove all carpeting.

4.) Keep only washable materials in the house; Example: sheets, drapes, tablecloths, etc... Also you must routine wash everything and the water temperature should be 130 degrees fahrenheit so tat it will kill all of dust mites.
