how to remove allergens
Cleaning. 1  Damp-mop hard floors (tile or hardwood, for example) once a day. 2  Dust and vacuum once or twice a week to remove the buildup of allergens. 3  Vacuum the carpets and cloth-covered furniture to get rid of as much dust as you can.
Steam cleaning and dry cleaning may be necessary. If these measures fail, you need to get rid of your pet -- let your doctor be your guide. Removing other allergens may be easier, (emotionally anyway), dust mites, for example, can be controlled by diligent cleaning, again, especially in the bedroom. This includes curtains, blinds, and all bedding. Some sources recommend encasing your bedding in a plastic or rubber wrapping.
