Phoenix, AZ (Vocus) November 30, 2009
Over 50 million Americans are affected by allergies costing the healthcare system 18 billion dollars annually. Allergies are the 6th leading cause of chronic disease with dust mites ranking as one of the most common allergies, according to MedTV.com.
Houses accumulate dust and dust mites, which contribute to 10% of US allergies. Bedroom carpeting, household upholstery, fabric window blinds, and any other area made of fabric can be prime locations for dust accumulation. In order to help those suffering from dust allergies, Blinds Chalet offers tips that reduce allergies:
1. Real wood blinds, faux wood blinds, and aluminum blinds don’t accumulate dust mites in the same way that fabric blinds do.
2. Make your own dust repellant with a mixture of 1 part liquid fabric softener and 4 parts water. Put into a spray bottle and spray onto a cloth and lightly wipe onto faux wood and aluminum blinds. For real wood, test a hidden location to make sure there is no long term discoloration.
3. For fabric blinds as well as wood and aluminum, designate a day each week to check the valance, molding and the blind itself for dust and vacuum or wipe as needed to keep dust accumulation to a minimum.
