How to Control Allergens in Your Furniture and Drapes

Allersearch ADMS Dust Mite Spray

If you have allergies, you have probably been given a list of things to do in your house to make it allergen free.  Along with removing the carpets, you were probably told to remove all draperies, curtains, and upholstered furniture.  In their place should be hard surface blinds (either vertical or horizontal) and leather furniture instead of fabric. Great advice if you can follow it.

Most people aren’t in a financial position to toss out the contents of their home and replace with something totally new.  So you must have a strategy for controlling the allergens you know are collecting on these surfaces.

The Allersearch Laboratories have come up with several great solutions to this problem.  One, the ADMS Anti-Allergen Dust Mite Spray can be used to safely denature (or neutralize) the proteins that cause allergies.  This product works on dust mites, animal dander, molds, and pollens.  These allergens collect in the fibers that make up our draperies and upholstered furniture.  You can pay someone to “clean” these items, but not only will they not really be clean, nothing will have been done for the allergy causing proteins.

You can apply a light misting of ADMS Anti-Allergen Spray to your favorite couch or chair, your draperies, the padded seats on your dining room chairs, your curtains and drapes.  If you have fabric blinds, you can even spray them also. 

What the ADMS Anti-Allergen Spray does is to use a combination of non-toxic alkalis and acids to change the chemical structure of the allergy causing proteins.  Once the amino acids that make up the protein have been altered, your body no longer reacts to the allergen. 

It is not necessary to saturate the furniture or drapes.  Just a light misting once a month will do the job.  The manufacturer recommends that you vacuum after the surface dries, but I have personally found best results by vacuuming first and then spraying. 

Most surfaces dry in 15 minutes or so.  It is completely safe for all water-safe fabrics.  It is also not toxic to your pets or the people in your house.
