Mold--more about dust actually...

[Guest guest]

angel...i just have a word of advice for you mom's dust allergies...i

have them as well and know that the bedroom is the best place to

target...b/c most people's beds are dust magnets...instead of the

heavy duty cleaning of the matress and replacing pillows (which seems

like it can get pricey)...has your mom ever tried allergy encasings

for her matress and pillows...these are tightly woven casings that

the dust mites can't get through and then you just but your sheets

and pillows over them--you wash your sheets and pillow cases as

normal and just wash the encasings every once in a great while. i

think in the past they only came in very plasticy feeling

materials...but mine actually feel very similar to sheets. i noticed

that this helped a great deal...also only using blankets (no

comforter) that could withstand really hot water washings every other

week. if you have any interest in the encasings...email me off list

and i can look up where i bought them.

luv laura

vinegar and changes the ac filters about once a week and buys new

pillows about once a month (sure glad she can afford that!). (I'm

gonna have to tell her about the tea tree)

nothing cause she don't do anything to the ducts. Her double wide is

only five years old, but I bet she's got some lurking somewhere by

now. She's already had to replace the floor under the kitchen sink

and washer....and the ceiling in one of the bathrooms where the

shower head was spraying water on it for a while and no one bothered

to tell anyone that would do anything about it. And, of coarse, if

you want to see my mom have a cow, light up a cigarette in her

house...

mold...ummm, ummm, ummmm.
