Anti-dust mite treatments

Yesterday I got the treatment products to try to neutralize
allergens. I wrestled the mattress cover on, put on the pillow covers
(they're not as "plastic" as I imagined, and seem comfy). I spent
the day cleaning my carpets with Simple Green and the allergen
neutralizer solution in the Bissel cleaner. I moved *everything* and
my Dyson was full of more fur than I've seen ever. I had to empty it
3 times; my normal vacumming jobs I only dump it twice for both
upstairs and downstairs. Today I only did upstairs so far. I washed
all bedding and bedroom window sheers with the anti-dustmite additive
and sprayed the furniture (the undersides; we're still sitting on the
up-side tonight) with the allergen neutralizer. The products all said
"People Safe, Environment Safe, Pet Safe" so I hope I'm not
introducing a new problem. I even sprayed the cat trees after
vaccuming them.

Shamrock will be the real test.

Let me know how they work out. Gracie and I both have allergies.

I will. The directions say to repeat every three months, so I hope I
can keep up with that. It was a lot of work today. LOL I usually
just hire someone to clean the carpets. I wonder if one that you hire
will use your products?

I'm hoping I will feel a difference, too. I'm allergic to all of the
same things Shamrock is. I just don't spend all my time pulling out
my fur and biting myself. I feel so much for this cat. He should
probably live in a bubble.

Unless you are going to replace your carpet with hardwood, you're better
off keeping the old carpet. Pulling up old carpet and putting down new
carpet will introduce a whole 'nother world of allergens.

Hi Cheryl,

That sounds like a lot of hard work. I hope your efforts are successful and
Shamrock will get some relief.

I went through this when my son was a child. He also had to take shots to
desensitize him to certain allergies. The thing that helped him most was
gamma globulin (sp?) to help build his immunity.

I bet there is enough competition between companies that they will
use whatever you want them to.

Yep, Gracie too. The hardwoods help us, but we NEED to have
our ducts professionally cleaned. Every time the heat comes on,
we suffer. My husband appears to be getting allergies as well.
