mites won’t go away :(

As you are being ultra careful given the issues you have had with such a stubborn infestation I would play it very safe.
I would clean the cage throughly 24 hours after dosing her and her friend/s and also replace all cardboard items - at least these are free!
ok will do that! thanks :) but why clean her cage 24 hours after and not straight after giving her the medication? wouldn't the mites jump back on to her ?
 
I've always assumed they don't all die immediately so if you dose and pop her into a clean cage there'll still be some scuttling round on her for a while - but in truth it probably won't make much difference. If you've got a clean cage ready you go for it! I'm not so organised.

Cardboard I'd get rid of. I had some tunnels made of sticks wired together to bend - I got rid of those personally and got some new ones. Anything more pricey you might save by freezing for 3 or 4 days (or longer) or maybe baking in the oven at about 60 dC for 20 mins (or longer!) At least, that's how I had to treat things when we got clothes moths!

1000g is 5/6 of 1200kg. There are 20 drops in every pipette (see top of leaflet), so it is ca. 17 drops or nearly one pipette with just a very little left over.
