Now days we hear a lot about dust mites, bed bugs and toxic chemicals in our bed. Starting to think it may be better just to sleep on the floor.

With all the information out there about allergy bedding and covers it’s hard to decide which is better. My personal opioin is to go with one that is membrane free. By that I mean does not have that plastic coating on the inside. Here is an article that talks about the various types of allergy bed covers.

“Covers will also come in a range of micron sizes. This is important to know because the micron size helps determine how much allergen is actually being stopping from getting through the protective covering. If you do not know what you need, ask the professionals. Your doctor is a good source of information and probably used to being asked the question if he has recommended to his other patients to use bed covers. The store personnel should also be able to help you. If they cannot then leave and go to another store that can.”

You can find some basic information about the covers. Bottom line is well made allergy bedding covers will last you for years.

There are all sorts of products being sold as allergy control products now days. Some work great and many are just hype. Do your homework. Talk you your friends, doctors and companies that have been selling the products. Ask them what worked, how fast, what did it cost, easy or hard to use.

Have a friend that bought several air cleaners while living in London and even though they were rated #1 she thought they were junk. She now uses Austin Air Healthmates and loves them. Plastic vs metal??

Here is a fairly good article about how some of the allergy control products work.

What Good Is A Vacuum Cleaner If You Don’t Use It

When was the last time you looked at vacuum cleaners? I was in Lowes the other day and noticed they carry a bunch of different vacuums. Some uprights, a couple of canister styles and a few that even steam.

Most had HEPA or HEPA type filters ( I always thought it was either HEPA or not). The Dyson vacuums and the green and white one had the bagless system. The question is which one is the best one.

I’m not sure. We have an old Miele and it works great. Sucks up the dirt and keeps it in the vacuum. To me that is what a vacuum is meant for. Here is an article that does not promote a specific brand. It promotes a very specific idea. Enjoy. (the link will take you from this site)
