He’s very itchy & he often gets short tempered from it. He’s allergic to dust mites,pollen,mold,rice,corn, soy, & egg. I bought a Hepa filter vacuum,encased his bedding to keep dust mites away, run air purifiers,change the furnace filter frequently,use fragrance free detergents,run clothes through a second rinse cycle,use no dryer sheets,keep baths tepid & brief, lotion with Eucerin immediately afterward, & have him wear only cotton clothes. I can honestly say NONE of this has made a difference. He starts Kindergarten in the Fall & I worry about him. How can he concentrate if he’s itchy? Keeping my child drugged on Benadryl indefinitely isn’t an option to me. I currently started him on probitotics with his allergists approval & give him 2 tsp. ground Flaxseed in his cereal every morning. I’m now trying Emu oil on him. I spend all my free time searching for answers. Has anyone found relief from dry eczema? Perhaps a Homeopathic Dr. is my next step. Thank you in advance for any help!
My family is very clean, but we have a serious dust problem in our house. It causes issues when it gets inside our computers. I change our furnace filter monthly, so thats not the cause.
Is there something like an air ionizer that would reduce the dust?

This is new for me. I have a central air conditioning unit outside my home. BDP Co. model # 561CJ024-B. I know to change my furnace filter, but I want to find out if the central air unit also has a filter. If so how do I replace it. I’ve looked on line and found info about removing a panel to access the filter, but I’m not seeing one.
Looking to buy an air purifier and was trying to compare/find the difference between MERV ratings on a furnace filter and CADR ratings for an Air Purifier.
I am trying to fight against allergens in my house, as my boyfriend is allergic to my cat.
I was considering buying a HEPA air purifier for the bedroom and a larger one for the kitchen/dining room/ living room area of my house. I’m also planning on replacing the furnace soon and could have a HEPA filter installed on the furnace then as well.
Would one of these be better than the other in term of cutting down allergens in the air? Financially, the individual units seem cheaper, but I feel like the furnace filter might be more effective as it would help the whole house.
Good individual air purifiers cost anywhere from 0-0 and I would have to purchase multiple. Getting a top-of the line furnace would cost even more. "Doing both" isn’t really an option.
I would rather have a return grille air filter instead of using a furnace filter because of the confined space my central air/furnace is located in.
Also, out of sheer curiosity. Are there any repercussions in using both filters?
