Alcohol is generally used to bring the mites to the surface so you can use something else to kill them.
Most likely you have them in your bed and pillows so be sure to tackle this problem at the same time you are cleaning your hair.
You can use Epsom Salt mixed with water to kill them but be careful as using too much of any product can really dry your hair and skin.
Mix Epsom Salt with water to make a past and apply it to your hair - leave on about 2 or 3 minutes and rinse out with clear water. You may have to do this several days while you are cleaning your bed and pillows.
You can vacuum your bed (both sides) with a hand held vacuum if it has strong suction.
Most pillows can be washed or throw them away and get new ones.
You will probably have to vacuum your upholstered furniture also and rugs as well. this is a very big job but if your house is infected it is the only way to eliminate them.
The more dust you have, the more mites you'll have but your mattress and pillows will contain dead skin and that is what mites love.
There are other measures you can take but you really need to do some research so you will not have to do the same cleaning over and over again.
My great grandmother got rid of a headlice infestation by dipping all her kids' hair in a vat of gasoline. Though I would not recommend that at all, from what I hear, it worked like a charm.
Face mites, or Demodex folliculorum, are apparently a fairly benign arachnid that lives on most people's faces. They are acquired shortly after birth, and live there without our even being aware of them. These are so interesting and ubiquitous that in fact studying the mites can help us track early human migration patterns: "Demodex have likely been living with us for a long, long time; as early humans walked out of Africa and found their way around the globe, they probably carried their mites with them. So we want to know if Demodex DNA can provide a reflection of our own evolutionary history by allowing us to retrace those ancient paths of human migration."
The thing is, these mites only rarely become a big infestation problem, unless your immune system is somehow compromised which makes them overbreed or something.
I could not discover if dust mites are different from the average face mites, but when i google 'dust mites' I get the folliculorum, which indicates to me that these are just those benign mites we live with.
In any event, if and when the mites become a problem, washing with tea tree shampoo can help eradicate the problem, as well as some products listed below. As well wash all your bedding with hot water and dry with 'high' setting on the dryer. Throw out all your makeup, and even your old pillows. Maybe boosting your immune system in some way, through a change of diet, could help. As well consume lots of raw garlic.

But do not use liquid dish soap often because it will strip your natural oils.
