They're everywhere, and they can be a serious health hazard. Today's modern building techniques have given us homes and office buildings that are more energy-efficient, and tighter construction has also reduced ventilation. Unfortunately, this traps and retains higher concentrations of indoor allergens and pollutants. That's the bad news. The good news is, you can virtually rid your home of dust and allergens.
Dust settles down, where the vacuum can trap it.
Every so often, tap the attachment on your ankle or shoe to release the heavier dust to the carpet. When you're finished dusting, vacuum. There could easily be a million dust mites living in your mattress and thriving around your bed. Vacuum your bedding, pillows and comforters weekly and use the crevice tool for deep-cleaning around mattress buttons. Ragweed permeates household air and lodges in carpets, upholstery and beds.
