Vacuuming Your Place Clean - Part 2

Natural allergy cures

Continuing on our natural allergy cures: vacuuming part 2. There is another type of filtering vacuum cleaner uses water to trap the dust (let us refer to this type of vacuum as water vacuum cleaner). This type of vacuum costs quite a bit of money (relative to other vacuum cleaners). Taking an air sample at the exhaust of a vacuum and you will find many aerosolized particulates. There’s been evidence found that cat allergen from dander in house dust dissolves in the water and was then emitted back into the air as a finer aerosol. To make matters worst, a lot of people simply does not follow instructions for the proper use of these vacuums. For example, the water is supposed to be emptied when the vacuuming is completed, but one man did not empty the water with the dust in the vacuum, and then stored the vacuum inside a closet. You can imagine what grew in this dusty reservoir; talk about a natural allergy cure, except it is in the opposite direction!

There are some who prefer a central vacuum system rather than the traditional portable vacuum cleaners. If you are one of these people, be sure that the exhaust vents to the outside, not to the garage or basement. (The outside vent should be as close to the motor as possible. If the exhaust path is too long, back-pressure might reduce the airflow.) If dust collects around the unit, this is likely caused by a leak in your blower.

A question that always comes up for natural allergy cures is: how often should you vacuum? A good rule of thumb is at least once a week when cleaning floors and stuffed furniture with a HEPA vacuum. If you are extremely dust-allergic and you use a regular vacuum cleaner, be sure to wear an N95 NIOSH mask and air the house out after vacuuming. And never, ever use a shop vacuum to clean up dust in your house, and never use an ordinary vacuum for moldy dust.

Allergens such as dander and mites in your carpet are never completely removed by vacuuming. A good way is to replace your carpet if the irritants prove too troublesome. Be careful about removing the carpet yourself if the carpet contains lead paint dust or asbestos fibers; you may want to have the carpet removed by a professional. It is not expensive to test for lead and asbestos, so when in doubt, take dust samples. (Always change the pad and HEPA vacuum the floor prior to replacing a carpet.)
