The first step in any reaction treatment is to avoid that which sparks sensitive to reactions. Depending on the reaction trigger, the treatment needed to overcome the effects will vary, but evasion is by far the best method of treating any allergy. Many people find themselves allergic to dust and pollen and allergy treatment for the home can become a time consuming and financial burden if not approached the right way.
Expensive filtering systems and cleaning methods do not always work as they are advertised to work and many times the allergy treatment leaves dust and pollen floating through the air in the home. Vacuuming the home can be a tedious procedure and replacing the carpet with hard surface flooring such as wood or linoleum is not always a sensibly priced option. Even vacuum cleaners with built-in filters stir the dust into the air where it will stay for 15 to 20 minutes before settling down on furniture and other furniture.
Once the room as been carefully vacuumed and time has passed to allow the dust to settle, allergy treatment will comprise damp dusting the furniture and any other flat surface to make sure it is all picked up. The person with the allergy should never be the one to vacuum or dust, as the materials sent through the room during the process will only aggravate the situation.
House and Cleaning Temperature Is Important
To slow the growth of dust mites the temperature in the home should be between 68 and 72 degrees and when clothes are washed, especially bed linens, the water should be at about 135-degrees to insure killing all mites. The reaction treatment in the bedroom should be more thorough as it is the room where people spend most of their time and it has the most opportunity for dust mites to multiply.
Drapes and curtains should be washable and mini blinds or Venetian blinds should be avoided as they offer a friendly environment for dust and dust mites. Bed linens should be washable and another allergy treatment is imitation feather bedspreads. They are easier to wash and the artificial materials do not bunch when wet, which is a problem with feather beds.
Families with children should avoid the introduction of dust-collecting items such as stuffed animals and other items that will serve as dust collectors. Gifts of books are always popular and will aid keep the dust mite add up down to a minimum.
