allergies???

Question

how to reduse allergies in my room i hover eveyday and still have lots of dust it a small room with a pc and tv

not spending too much money our none at all

Answer 1

i know exactly what u mean, i have the same problem. What I did was washed every bedsheet and vacuumed my room. I also removed my carpet and switched it with wood. Try not to leave your window open or even blinds.

Answer 2

open your window allow fresh air to come in. there seems to be no air circulation therefore creating dust. when you dust use a dusting oil or spray feather dusting does nothing more than put the dust in the air . you could try a small fan in your window on exhaust instead of intake it will pull the air out of your room then there will be very little dust. with winter approaching it may seem like a cold idea but it is not. i have one in my room all year round i too can not handle dust in the winter i have an extra blanket on my bed and a clear nose and no headache in the morning. and if it is too cold take the fan out only use the fan when you are not on the room.

First, you must know what you are truly allergic to...do you have pets? You may be allergic to something you are eating, pet dander (bathe once a week), dust mites (clear clutter as much as possible...vacuum (there are vacuums with HEPA filters, or double bagging may help) everything regularly, (you may need to cover pillows, mattresses, springs with covers made speciffically to repel allergens...sold in drugstores and deptmet stores), baseboards (if any mold or mildew use mild solution of bleach water to clean anything that won't color bleach out), clothes dryers can give off fine particles of lint and dust (clean filters after every drying) and make sure the dryer hose is completely sealed. You could be allergic to your spouse! One gal's lips were swollen after a kiss from her boyfriend who had just eaten shrimp...she reacted big time!... was allergic to shellfish! Both may have to eliminate the same food to be safeSo a clean mouth could also be the answer if allergic to something that leaves a residue after eating....?? So many possibilities, and you may need to experiment by eliminating one thing at a time...foods, pets, fabrics with dust, mold, and pet dander being the most common. Make sure you are regularly cleaning out your vacuum dust bag (possibly after each vacuuming)....they sometimes can throw fine particles unseen to the naked eye, back into the room. Take anything loose outside and make sure it is free of dust, etc....and don't return items to room until room is thoroughly cleaned. Allergies can be from the least expected...so try not to overlook any and all possibilities.

Answer 4

Mix one cup vinegar per quart of water and wash every glass top and window in your house or at least in your bedroom and living room.
2. Mix half a cup of baking soda per quart of water and wipe down all other surfaces, including Venetian blinds. For wood, use dry, damp cloth so wood is not harmed. Have cloth moist enough to pick up dust, not scatter it.

3. Take bedclothes off your bed and vacuum mattress. Wash sheets, blankets, and curtains on hot cycle. Replace anything unwashable with something that can be washed.

4. Thoroughly vacuum rugs, floors and other surfaces. A canister-type vacuum with a filter works best, because it's least likely to stir up dust or simply spew it from its exhaust.

5. Wait an hour or so for any dust kicked up by the vacuum to settle.

6. Put sheets back on your bed after you have vacuumed your rug or cleaned your bedroom floor. If you can, remove your rug, and wash it.

7. Wipe up remaining dust with soft rags or dusting cloths. You can make your own nontoxic dusting spray with the following recipe: 2 teaspoons light olive oil, 20 drops of lemon juice, and 1/4 cup of distilled vinegar in a spray bottle. Fill the rest with water.

8. For situations where dust is an ongoing problem (as for dog and cat owners), consider investing in a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filtering system.

9. Wear a face mask while cleaning and while playing or grooming your pet. Keep your pet out of your bedroom. And keep all windows shut and run air conditioning if you can. If not, at least keep windows closed during early morning hours (until 10 a.m.) when pollen is at its highest.

10. For children, wash stuffed toys every week.

11. Repeat these steps every week. Vacuum all carpeting every day.

Answer 5

don't know what you can do to your room, but here are some possibilities

Depending on the allergies, take any plants out of the room.

Take out the carpeting and just have hardwood floors, this will have less dust in the room

The furnace filter may need to be changed, or the duct work may also need to be cleaned.

Answer 6

Computers and TV's are dust magnets so make sure to keep them as dust free as possible. Also if you have a lot of magazines, books or papers you need to get them out of your room. Good luck.

Answer 7

Air purifiers, they are all different prices. I recently purchased one that u just wipe off the filter, which is very conveinent, but then are some u need to replace the filters. I have animals, asthma and allergies, and what a lifesaver!!

Good Luck!!

Answer 8

remove the carpeting; for your computer, use the swifter duster (it doesn't scatter the dust around) for the tv and pc and buy a pc and keyboard cover. You can also use a windex disposible clothes to clean.

Answer 9

Dust is heavy- it'll stay down if you don't disturb it. If you have to vaccuum, use a face mask and leave afterwards. You'll probably have no symptoms if you don't clean. ;)
However, if you do, I'd recommend you taking some antihistaminic medicines or something like that.

Answer 10

Replace the carpet with wood or linoleum. Get a vacuum cleaner with a hepa filter.
