Guest guest Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I hear ya, Go into a lowes or a home improvement store and but a GOOD industrial mask, leave it on for about 20-30 minutes after you've moved the rug as you have now stirred up the dust and such, is there anyway you can do away with those rugs? OR is there anyone else in your house that can take then outside and whip the dirt and such out of them? Let me see if I can find the website I bought mine from that I swear when I'm cutting grass: I deleted the darn link I kept the wrong one. The ones that construction workers use are good, but I will be honest when I say, the more it cost the better they are. Terry I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much. ~Mother Teddy Bear's Early Learning Program Established August of 1992 asthma, allergies and cleaning > > Hello all, > > I know there has been some discussion about cleaning products and asthma. > For me, it is not the cleaning products that get to me but the actual > kicking up of the dust and pet hair, etc. itself.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Thanks, I will check it out. I definitely have to try something new! The rugs I mean aren't big ones, just throw ones that go in front of doors and such, to put shoes on and catch dirt from outsides, etc. Also the throws I keep over couches and chairs because of the dogs, so they are pretty much a necessity. > > > > Wear a mask, I have started having to do that, it does help, but if > > your going to buy one don't go with the cheap ones they don't protect > > you as well.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Put them in the washer instead of doing what your doing, slowly roll them up as to NOT to stir up the dirt and dust, and put them in the washer, that's how I handle my area rugs in the kitchen and infront of my doors Terry I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much. ~Mother Teddy Bear's Early Learning Program Established August of 1992 asthma, allergies and cleaning > > > > Hello all, > > > > I know there has been some discussion about cleaning products and > asthma. > > For me, it is not the cleaning products that get to me but the > > actual kicking up of the dust and pet hair, etc. itself.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 See, I do that but I roll it up and shake it outside first. I was worried putting it in with all that extra hair and crumbs and dirt wasn't good for the washer. Of course, picking it up and shaking it out first hasn't been so good for me! > > > > > > Wear a mask, I have started having to do that, it does help, but if > > > your going to buy one don't go with the cheap ones they don't > > > protect you as well.
