Keep Your Home Allergy Free and Dust Free - Bedding: Keep your pillows and mattresses encased in protective covers to reduce allergens in your bed. Vacuum your mattress once a week with a HEPA equipped vacuum. Use comforters that can be washed once a week in hot water and stay away from anything that needs to be dry cleaned.
Filters: Strategically place air filters throughout your home. Be sure these filters are also equipped with a HEPA filter.
Furniture: Vacuum all your upholstery once a week. If possible, purchase leather furniture pieces that can easily be wiped clean. Upholstered furniture collects a lot of dust, danger and pollen. Be sure to dust your other furniture often with a moist cloth. Using a feather duster will only move the dust around your home and make it airborne.
Windows and Doors: Keep your windows and doors closed as often as possible to reduce the amount of outside particles you bring in. Wash window treatments often in hot water. Do not use window treatments that cannot be washed well.
Shoes: Over 90% of all dust, dirt and allergens in the home come from the bottom of your shoes. Be sure to remove your shoes at the door and leave them there!
Dust particles and allergens get into the house whether you like it or not. Here's what you can do to reduce them. Although it will be nearly impossible to get rid of 100% of these particles, you will be able to get really close!
