| Typical
Triggers are microscopic particles such as mold spores,
cat and dog dander, bird dander, cat saliva, insect droppings (dust mites,
cockroaches, spiders, etc.) pollen and fabric fragments.

| The
Key to Reducing the constant irritation stress that your asthmatic or
allergic lungs and sinuses are exposed to is to continually clean the indoor air as much as
practical.

Trigger
Reduction Cleaning Actions
Make every effort to conduct these air cleaning activities frequently at
least in the
bedroom of the asthmatic or allergic individual:
|
- Vacuum fabrics, floors, and walls frequently with a HEPA-filtered vacuum
cleaner.
- Use only electrostatically-charged dust cloths which retain the dust, and
discard them immediately after use.
NOTE: Don't use hand-held vacuums, standard vacuums, dust mops,
feather dusters or dust rags around allergic-asthmatic individuals–they spread
too many microscopic particles into the air.
- Inspect, clean and sanitize humidifiers or dehumidifiers frequently (check
for slime).
- Install "pleated" high quality filters in your forced-air heating and/or cooling system
and change them on a
schedule (60-90 days) without fail.
- Maintain a properly-sized HEPA or electrostatic room air cleaner
(monthly-annually).
- Remove carpeting, window fabrics and blinds where possible.
- Keep bedroom windows closed or install window filters for "fresh
air".
- Cover mattress and pillow with allergen reduction covers.

MoldCheck™ Kits
"as good as it gets"
in do-it-yourself mold testing, mold detection, mold remediation, mold removal, toxic mold screening, and black mold education.
Purchase Orders from Schools or Government Agencies are accepted.
Mold Identification/Laboratory Testing
We have determined from reviewing the scientific literature and professional experience of the air testing industry, that very few "toxic"
Stachybotrys mold spores become airborne since they are usually wet and sticky. Therefore we only offer the surface swab lab testing.
