The Allergy-Free Kitchen and Dining Room

The worst and most significant enemies in your kitchen and dining room are mice and roaches. They crawl all over the dirty places looking for food. Chances are they carry some chemical substances and a bunch of allergens. To keep your kitchen allergy-proof, you must allergen-proof. That is to keep all allergens and the allergen carriers out of the kitchen and dining room.

1. Seal any sources of food.

It is good for your health and hygienic, for any food you have, make sure you store the food appropriately in airtight containers so that the mice and roaches are out of reach. When they find no food in your home, they will see your home as the less attractive place, which is a good thing, since they are not your guests.

The same goes to the pet food. Make sure you also discard as well as keeping the pet food properly.

2. Food Crumbs

Food Crumbs are the next thing the mice and roaches will look for in your home after you seal all the food safely. To minimize food crumbs in your home, eat in a polite manner. Ideally, you should also clean the kitchen and dining room every day.

3. When you have done the two things mentioned above and those roaches and mice are still coming back(very unlikely) then you might want to use some poison baits on them. A roach or mice eats the poison bait and brings back to the main nests, after that the poison spreads and kills every single one of them. Fast and effective. Well, if that still could not finish the job, then you might need to call in the exterminator. Since the chemicals they use to kill roaches are as harmful to us humans as to roaches and mice, ask the exterminator to focus on the infested areas. Those chemicals are very significant irritants. After the job is done, ventilate your home by opening up windows and doors and let the wind carry the chemicals and odors away.


Other tips for the kitchen:

• Stop using any cleansing fluids/detergents if they cause any irritation to you or your family
• Ventilate your home properly
• Cleanliness is key. Make sure the kitchen, tools, food ware, utensils, everything is clean.

Allergen-proof Your Bedroom

We all spend about one-third of the day in our bedrooms. For this reason,it's important for us to make our bedrooms safe havens from allergens and allergy-triggering substances. By doing what I am about to tell you, it's possible for you to achieve total peace in your sleep. No more runny nose or coughing, and less allergy symptoms.

1. No pets in the bedroom

Make sure you keep your pets out of the bedroom. Pets like cats and dogs carry allergens that could trigger allergy reactions, so for those people with allergies, it is better for you to not have pets at home. Since pets are mostly active enough to walk around your house or neighborhood, they propably carry more allergens than you might be able to imagine.

Still, no pets in your room does not mean your room is free from pet allergens. Pets such as dogs and cats produce or carry allergens that are light enough to float through every corner in your home. This is where a good air filter comes in. An air filter with a HEPA filter will cleanse/filter the air in your house so that allergens are trapped in it. Cleaner air always mean less allergy symptoms and reactions.

2. Encase your mattresses, pillows, bedding, etc

Your mattress is like the multi-million dollar mansion for allergens like dust mites. It is warm and soft, retains moisture, and provides food(your skin flakes and food crumbs) for their survival. To deal with this situation, you can encase your mattresses, pillows, and bedding with encasings that could be bough online through AllergyBeGone. By doing this, you protect yourself from allergens such as dust mites and pet allergens from entering your bed and make it their hiding spot as well as creating a barrier between you and those allergens that have already stayed in your bed. Those encasings need not be those plastic bags that cause you to sweat like a bull during your sleep. Again, you can find these encasings at AllergyBeGone.

3.Filter your air in the bedroom

By using an air-filter, you will be able to breathe easier and comfortably. Light allergens are effectively filtered from the air by operating an air filter in your bed room. By lowering or removing the air-borne allergens, you get to lower your risk against allergic reactions.

A good air-filter can be bought cheaply online.

4. Wash your bedding, bed sheets, mattresses and pillows.

Wash the bedding in water at temperature of at least 55 degree Celsius will kill allergens like dust mites effectively. Ideally, wash them one a month.

5. Frequently clean or wash stuffs such as stuffed animals, old magazines, and CDs in your room that might collect dust and allergens.

By following the 5 tips above, you will be able to reduce the amount of allergens in your room to a degree where no allergens are able to trigger an allergy reaction.
