Answers:
There are good and useless air purifiers!. Check your local Freecycle to see if someone is getting rid of one!.Alen is a really good brand!. De humidifiers help too and I know I got rid of one here in California on Freecycle!. If it is dust mite allergies, get rid of as much carpeting and upolstery as you can!. Leather is great because you can wipe it down!. Encase their mattresses and pillows with dust mite proof covers!. A mattress can double in weight over 10 yrs time because of the weight of the dead dust mites and their poop!! Wash ALL bedding, blankets sheet covering in super hot water every week!. Don't set those clean covers down on anything that would have dust mites!. Soft things!. Add a HEPA filter to the vacum and do the vacuming when they won't be in the house for an hour after you are done so the 'dust' can settle!.You probably won't have to vacum everyday w/ a HEPA, most vacums push some of the dust right back out!. The bedroom is by far the most important room to treat!. The allergy covers go on sale at Mervyns for really cheap!. There are good ones and expensive ones available on line too!.

Yes I have severe dust mite allegies and am doing really well know even w/ my other allergies (tree!.!.!.) because I took all tese steps w/ my indoor allergies
