I have been having hayfever & allergies lately. I am trying to control the dust. My brother is useless and doesnt help do this..

what is the best way to get dust out. My vaccume cleaner does not have a blow air option otherwise i would do that.

So what is the best way.. I am pained with amount of dust in places where its never vaccumed, because you got to move things around to get to vaccume that area..

Change the bag in the vacuum often.

Use the attachments on your vacuum to get the dust up.

Change your furnace filter often.

These three things make a BIG difference.

Blowing the dust with a vacuum cleaner would just make it worse.

My allergies are probably worse than yours.. (Nasal Polyps + monthly laserings are win!) so I hope you feel better :)

I'd get a cleaning service for the big jobs. Weekly or biweekly. That should get rid of the dust that you DON'T know about. The best thing to get rid of the dust that you can see is just a wet towel. Get one of those and start whiping everywhere.

Thats the solution I did and my condition has gotten better in teh last few weeks.

I do have 2 polyps sitting in formaldehyde solution as a good luck charm..

If I only had a digital camera.
