HOUSE DUST MIST ALLERGY: GET RID OF DUSTY OBJECTS

Posted by admin on March 30, 2009 under Allergies | Be the First to Comment

If you use vacuum filters and keep things dry and aired, you may not need to get rid of, or replace any major object. Vacuum thoroughly first, try the avoidance measures for beds and bedding (opposite), and see how you go. Sometimes, though, a piece of furniture, a carpet, or a mattress just sits there looking at you screaming that it really has to go – it is too dusty, too old and it cannot be retrieved. So get rid of what you have to and replace it.

You can buy specially designed anti-dust mite covers for mattresses and pillows. These are cheap, relative to the cost of replacing old mattress and bedding, and can lessen the work required in airing and drying. These covers are reported by users to be very effective and worthwhile. Full details are given in BEDDING. If you are extremely chemically sensitive and do not tolerate synthetic fibres well, you may not be able to use them since they are made of synthetic blends. For most people, however, they are well tolerated and extremely useful.
