Answer 1

do u have animals that shed and leave dander
what exactly are u allergic to in the bed room

Answer 2

A thorough cleaning. Dust and wash every corner of the room. Wash every piece if bedding including pillows, or just buy new ones, also but the dust covers to put on the pillows before you put clean pillow cases back on. Vacuum off mattress and also cover this with a dust cover, sold all over. Walmart, Zellers etc. If the allergies are really bad. Also use an air cleaner. I used to have to do this for my son when he was small. He had severe allergies to dust.Sweet dreams.

Answer 3

Get rid of any pillows or blankets with feathers. Make sure you have clean sheets, and bedding. Open the windows to get rid of dust mite poop because it is light and will float in the air and out thru the window, for an hour every day or as much as needed. Try a air purifier that is meant for allergies. Vacuum if there is a rug.

Answer 4

Dust mites in the bedroom are a trigger for people with allergies and asthma. Every home has dust mites. You can't see them; they feed on invisible skin flakes in pillows, bedding, upholstery and carpeting. You can control them by keeping bedding clean and by controlling dust.

To Control Dust Mites in the Bedroom
Use special dust mite-proof covers to keep dust mites from going through pillows and mattresses. They’re sometimes called “allergen-impermeable” covers. Wipe covers with a damp cloth every week. If you don’t use covers, wash pillows at least 4 times a year, and replace them every year.

Don’t use carpet in the bedroom. Use linoleum¨, vinyl or wood flooring and washable area rugs. Wash rugs once a week.

Answer 5

All other answers were good ones - for me, it helped to get rid of any down/feather pillows and comforters. No curtains, only blinds that I can regularly dust/clean. No carpet. I wash the sheets often in hot water. All this has seemed to help. I still have to take Allegra everyday, but I sleep so much better and usually wake up pretty clear.

Answer 6

I'm assuming you're talking about the allergic problems you're having when you're asleep in your bed. get yourself a good air purifier with a HEPA filter, change your linens once a week and wash them in HOT HOT water, and get a pillow cover that zips up on one side to keep dust mites from invading your pillows. also, blinds are easier to clean than curtains b/c they can be dusted. curtains have to be washed and pressed, which is a pain in the butt. vacuum a couple of times a week to get the dust up out of the carpet, if you have carpet. if you have hard wood, use a dust mop or a Swiffer mop type thing.

Answer 7

Vaccum regularly. Get you an air purifier. Wash your bed sheets in hot water at least twice a week. Cover your pillow with hypoallergenic cover and also your bed. Dust on a regular basis with a damp cloth. Hope this helps.

Answer 10

If you have carpets in the bedroom I would take them out. Rugs/mats also. If you want mats use the light washable type.
Does anyone smoke in the bedroom?
Clean regularly.

Avoid wallpaper, it is a haven for mould.
