SINUS RELIEF BEDROOM.

SINUS. ALLERGY FLARE-UP. DUST.POLLUTES IN BEDROOM.

How nice it will be to sleep in a room as dust free as possible, to avoid or minimise the possibility of a sinus or allergy flare-ups. ALLERGY FREE BEDROOM would be three lovely words to anyone who is very susceptible to allergy. Is it possible? We can all try and get our bedrooms cleaned up.

What can you do to clean your bedroom? This is such a tall order, of the most endeared part of our house. We must clear all clutter and bring order into the bedroom. This is where we live the longest part of the day, so long as we are at home. Where is the best place to start?

1. Clear your bedroom. All that is "not necessary to sleep with" should leave the room. This can be that extra table in the corner, now filled with magazines, papers, stationery and stacked ip papers and mail. Bring about that bare look to look good.
2. Eliminate all accumulated dust. Use an vacuum cleaner that has a hepa filter. DO NOT USE the traditional vacuum cleaner that has only a bag. (These machines spill dust into the area being vacuumed via the exhaust). Use special accessories to reach difficult corner, to go behind the bed, under the bed, curtain rails, above the door , nook and corners. Don't forget the ceiling fan blades, lamp shades and tops of pictures. Vacuum thrice weekly or more frequently. Do not use rags, dusting brushes etc that redistributes dust and aggravates allergies. TRAP and REMOVE.
3. Reduce (best is to avoid) carpeting and draperies in the bedroom. Fabric becomes the best harbinger of dust mites.
4. Blankets, bed sheets, comforters must be washed regularly. Raising temperature to 140° will help kill dust mites.
5. Heating and air conditioning systems, need regular cleaning. Built in filters and casings trap dust, breed bacteria, allow growth of mould and fungus. The insides of these units need cleansing, and often the need for professional help as in centralised systems.
6. Do not short change on needs to change filters in these systems.
7. Should the closet and dressing table be in the bedroom? Pressed clothes from the laundry come in plastic bag casings. Allowing them in the bedrooms permits used detergents and chemicals to evaporate into the bed room. Minimise clothes in the bedroom.
8. Mattress must be scrubbed and beaten with special equipment to remove dust, dust mites, skin flakes, dust mite droppings, carcasses of dust mites and other air borne pollutes. Use a hepa contained vacuum for this purpose.
9. Do not allow pets in the bedroom.
10. Do not use dust mite proof covers, since they are chemically treated fabric. You will end up having "tons' of dust mite carcass rotting on your bed, and you will be inhaling these.
11. Also as we sweat at night, the skin would be absorbing these chemicals.
12. Have a high quality hepa filter or air cleaner run in the room before bed time at high speed and then through the night at low speed.

All of the above will help you see a tremendous improvement in reducing allergens in your bedroom
