Your bed is their ideal habitat. They are fond of carpet and upholstered furniture, too. Click the image above for a short QuickTime video of live mites. Following these suggestions can make a big difference in how a dust-mite-allergy sufferer feels: encase your mattress, box spring & pillows wash bedding every week or two in hot water or with an all-temperature laundry product designed for allergy sufferers choose wood or leather furniture choose washable curtains and wash them control humidity - monitor to keep it around 45% avoid bedskirts replace carpet with hard flooring if possible or treat carpet with a product to kill dust mites or neutralize their allergen vacuum carpet often with a HEPA vacuum cleaner Click here to see helpful products below. Mold Mold is not one of those things that fools you into thinking it is okay because it is pretty. You can tell by looking at it that you don't want it. Getting rid of mold and keeping it away is the challenge. Following these tips can help solve the problem: catch leaks early and make repairs as soon as possible keep countertops dry & clean control humidity - monitor to keep it around 45% clean away visible mold use mold control products to delay the return of mold choose mold resistant products when possible, especially in the bathroom keep firewood outside use a mold inhibitor in paint choose paint over wallpaper because mold can grow undetected under wallpaper allow boots & shoes to dry completely before storing Click here to see helpful products below. Dust You may already think dust is bad, but you may think it's horrible when you find out it is a complex mix of tiny particles that can include pet dander and fur, insect feces and insect body parts, fibers of fabrics, spider-webs, human dander and hair, mold spores, pollen, dirt, fiberglass particles, and dryer lint. Try these tips to help get dust out of your life: reduce clutter to reduce dust use a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter change furnace filters regularly use room air purifiers and change filters as directed choose roller shades instead of blinds don't store things under the bed use specially designed dusting tools dust often with a damp or electrostatic cloth Click here to see helpful products below. Pets Aren't they cute? No doubt about it. But those people with pet allergy have to choose between unconditional love and freedom from red eyes and runny noses. Look at these suggestions, and do what you can: give pet away keep pet outdoors never allow pet in bedroom bathe pet frequently wipe down pet between baths moisturize pet's skin to reduce dander Click here to see helpful products below. Smoke, Odors, & Fumes Regardless of whether you are allergic, asthmatic or chemically sensitive, smoke and chemicals are not good for anyone. Avoiding them is a good rule of thumb. These suggestions can help: do not allow cigarette/cigar/pipe smoking in the house choose low-chemical cleaners to limit strong or toxic odors & fumes avoid perfume and products with perfume or fragrance added avoid room fresheners and candles that cover up odors - instead use an odor eliminator use care in purchasing cabinets, countertops, carpet, etc. to avoid chemical offgassing some air purifiers have special volatile organic compound (VOC) filters to absorb fumes such as formaldehyde and ammonia Click here to see helpful products below. Cockroaches Who doesn't cringe and want to wash their hands when they see a cockroach? Surely I'm not the only one. Their nasty reputation is well-deserved, though, because their feces and dried body parts are one of the 5 major asthma triggers as well as a top cause of allergy symptoms. Help keep cockroaches in their place (which is anywhere except your house) with these tips: clean out the pantry to get rid of old boxes and old foodstuff put food away immediately after eating keep surfaces clean and bacteria-free, especially in the kitchen bring in a professional exterminator if needed get rid of old paper bags and newspaper in the attic, garage, basement, and all over change from cardboard storage boxes to plastic bins use safe means of pest control Click here to see helpful products below.
