Hypoallergenic Homes ?

What have you done to make your home hypoallergenic as much as possible?

air filters- Which are the best?

We are getting a hypoallergenic dog (yes, I know dogs are not truly hypoallergenic) and I read about wiping your walls down with Rolls? Does anyone have these and where do you buy them?

I already shampoo my carpet frequently. I am just curious what everyone else does.

Thanks for the feedback!

Other than getting rid of our down comforters & pillows, I haven't done much.

I remember reading that Kelly Preston started an organization after her child got really sick. It's called Childrens's Health Environmental Coalition . The website is full of great information, including companies they recommment, ie. IKEA
boasts an environmental policy that prohibits the use of PVC, formaldehyde-based glues, brominated flame retardants, and other toxins, and supports the use of environmentally friendly, sustainable and recycled materials.

They have a partnership with Green Home . Their website sells approved products (which I'm sure you can find elsewhere).

my DH is an enviormental inspector & one of the things he always says is wall to wall carpet is the worst for people that have trouble.

In our townhouse I ordered the air fitlers for the central air from
air filter now.com

We have hardwood floors and I swear, I can start a zoo with all the dust bunnies, but it got me thinking that the same debris would only be collecting in carpeting rather than get swept up with wood floors.

Thanks girls, you have been most helpful! I will definetly look into those websites.

I totally agree about the carpet. But, unfortunately, we don't own a home yet. So until then, I will continue to wet vac.
