How can I make a room Like allergy-Free?

First you should look at all the laundry products in use in your home. There are special detergents made for sensitive skin -- Dreft is recommended for babies. Fabric softeners have a notorious reputation for irritating some people's skin, so request that they not be used any more at all. They coat the inside of the dryer for quite a while. Then you need to switch to all hypo-allergenic soaps and cosmetics (Almay is one good brand, available in drug departments). Lovely scented products can cause major allergic reactions, even in people who don't normally have trouble with them.

Some people are sensitive to woolen fabrics. You may need an air-cell blanket made of synthetic fabric. Cotton is usually good for sheets and pillow cases. Have a bedspread that can be laundered fairly often.

Your room can definitely be made more allergy-free. Unfortunately it may end up looking like a hospital room after you banish the carpets and the curtains in favor of plain hard floors and window shades. A good-quality portable air cleaner such as a Hunter will do a lot to keep the particle count down. It's good for pollen as well as dust in the air. It's smaller than a carry-on suitcase. Your room will need to be dusted at least once a week, using a dust cloth, and a dust mop for the floor. You'll be amazed at what collects in that length of time.

If your house has a forced-air furnace, see about a high-efficiency air cleaner attachment. They are expensive, and even the pleated filters for them cost $35 or $40 apiece, so perhaps you can get by with the ordinary flat filter system during the heating season.

If all these measures don't help much, you may have to get drastic. Tobacco smoke, even from a while back, and hair and skin cells from pets are some of the most notorious allergens. Even keeping the dog or cat out of your particular room may not be effective, because of the air that circulates through the house, and the particles you pick up from just sitting where they've been.

You may need to go to a doctor who specializes in allergies. They can administer a "scratch test", which challenges your system with tiny amounts of the most common allergens. Any reaction will pinpoint your personal poisons, and guide the doctor to the correct treatment for you. It's possible that an undiscovered food allergy or respiratory allergy is making your skin allergy worse, so if cleaning your environment doesn't help after a month or so, think about consulting an allergist.

The furnace air filter in the home should be changed every 3-4 months ,religiously ,with a paper pleated filter made for people who suffer from allergies.The company called 3M makes one just for sufferers. Who ever is in charge of changing furnace filters should keep a written record of change out dates, with a black permanent marker, right on the side of the furnace ductwork in the furnace room. This way there is a written record, no guessing. to avoid recycling dust with the vacuum cleaner, a modern vacuum, with a special HEPA filter system should be purchased. They trap and hold 99.97% of the soil/dust entering the machine. This system was developed at NASA. If you have pets/animals in the home, forget every thing mentioned, as there is no hope to solve your problem. Homes with pets/animals are among the dirtiest, unsanitary places on the planet.

purchase a carpet shampooer and shampoo the carpets weekly. airborne dirt and dust everywhere. Air out the room a minimum of two times an afternoon via leaving the window open for 10 minutes, indoor air in many circumstances has much extra allergens than outdoors air.
