Answer 1

See if you can find a used Rainbow. It uses water to trap dust, and you can even use a scent in the water while vacuuming.

Dunno but allergies are the result of inadequate immune system functioning. Organs become clogged and can no longer remove toxic stuff from your body. ANYTHING can become an allergen through overuse. You can try a colon cleanser, like one by Robert Gray--I was amazed when a short course of this most unexpectedly cleared up my painful swollen senstive-even-to-bar-soap hands, bad for a year, and two years since fine. Dr Hulda Clark says clean your organs and your allergies will go away. My daughter and I have cleared many debilitating allergies. You can use Clark's recipies or use commercial preparations. I've not had hay fever, once bad, for maybe 10 years. I do sympathize. I also think considering the source of problems is well worth your consideration. Boost your immunity free by exercising more. Bounce on a small or large trampoline if you can--helps clean cells. Breath deeply-in the freshest air you can. Dr Lorraine Day has a great blueprint for improved health. You can watch on google. ANY load you can take OFF your immune system and ANY help you can be to strengthening it will be to your benefit. Try giving up whatever you currently eat that you can't imagine doing without for at least 5 days then try some, when you are home and see if you have adverse reactions. You may be allergic to it and you don't know it. Getting over it will help lessen your immune system load. Vacuum of course but try to cure the problem. By the way, pharmaceutical companies and pusher doctors will not help you get well. They want to TREAT you. This is meant to be ongoing and profitable. Be the captain of your own ship. Take charge of your health. You do not suffer from a lack of any drug.

Look for a good 2nd hand Electrolux or Aero-Electolux vacuum. They have super filters in their bags and another very efficient filter on the exhaust. Their powerheads are great also, with sweeping bristles (they don't beat the carpet to death with rubber bars).

If you get really lucky, you might find a rug tool they don't make anymore. It looks like a real gimic but it isn't... has a small wheel on each end and chrome teeth-like pieces with suction going from each one up to the top & then into the hose. It rolls over the carpet or upholsery and each tooth sucks dirt, sand, etc. from deep inside every type of carpet & fabric I have ever seen it used on (even kitchen carpet).

They also put a small powerhead on the market - especially for doing upholstery, stairs, etc. It goes directly on the hose & you don't use the wand with it. They were very popular and I think they would still produce them.

I would not recommend a vacuum that uses water if you have alergies. Water near dirt produces bacteria and/or mold which can be deadly. Avoid scented products also. A great way to do this is to use steam to clean your hard surfaces such as sinks, tubs, tiles mirrors, windows. Yes, I know it sounds like conflicting information, but it isn't - steam will kill bacteria and you won't be using it on places that will hold the moisture. It makes everything just sparkling clean with very little effort.

Answer 4

I have allergy issues too. I recently purchased a good-quality unit from Sears (on sale for $249) that can use an allergen filtration/low dust producing bag. It is self-propelled, quiet, and works well on thick carpet. The bags are the expensive part, with a price of about $10.00 for three bags.

Cheaper models that can use these bags may be adequate for your needs. AVOID the 'tornado' style vacuums.

Best wishes and good luck.

HEPA Filters Not So Effective
For Those With Dust Mite Allergy

Published in the January 2006 issue of the European Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, recent research shows that HEPA filters may be no more effective at protecting against dust mites than standard methods. Researchers from the University of Manchester’s North West Lung Centre have just discovered that vacuum cleaners with ‘high-efficiency particulate air’ (a.k.a. HEPA) filters are no more effective than standard models at reducing exposure to dust-mites.

The researchers were able to compare nasal air samples taken before and during vacuum cleaning from both HEPA vacuums and non-HEPA vacuums. What they found may surprise you. The researchers found that there was actually a small increase in exposure to dust-mite during vacuuming with either type of vacuum cleaner, with the amount increasing when emptying the dust compartments of either machine.

"These vacuum cleaners are marketed to allergy-sufferers on the basis that they reduce a person's exposure to air-borne particles raised from carpeted floors,” said lead investigator Dr. Robin Gore. “For allergy sufferers, such particles can trigger asthma attacks. However, we have already found that both HEPA- and non-HEPA vacuum cleaners can actually increase an individual's exposure to particles containing cat allergens.

"These latest findings further suggest that there is no significant advantage to using a HEPA vacuum cleaner to reduce exposure to air-borne particles like dust-mites.

"In combination with our previous work, the study seems to confirm that high-efficiency vacuum cleaners confer no benefits and should not currently be specifically recommended to allergy sufferers as a means of reducing personal exposure to allergens, either by their manufacturers or health professionals."
The study was published in the January 2006 issue of the European Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. The co-investigators in the study were Professors Ashley Woodcock and Adnan Custovic.
