Allersearch Labs makes a great product, ADMS Anti-Allergen Spray, to help you get rid of allergens in most upholstered items.
For those who have allergies, you’ve probably received a list of things to do from your doctor in order for your house to be allergen free. Along with removing the carpets, you were probably told to remove all draperies, curtains, and upholstered furniture. In their place really should be hard surface blinds (either vertical or horizontal) and leather furniture as an alternative to fabric.
Great advice if you possibly could follow it.
A lot of people aren’t in a financial position to toss out the contents of their home and replace everything with new stuff. So you must have a strategy for managing the allergens you know are collecting on these surfaces.
The Allersearch Laboratories have come up with several great solutions to this issue. One, the ADMS Anti-Allergen Dust Mite Spray enable you to safely denature (or neutralize) the proteins that cause allergies. ADMS works on dust mites, pet dander, molds, grasses and pollens. These allergens collect in the fibers that comprise our draperies and upholstered furniture.
Now you can pay somebody to “clean” this stuff, but not only will they probably not be clean, nothing will have been done for the allergy causing proteins. Apply a light misting of the ADMS spray on your favorite couch or chair, your draperies, the padded seats on your dining room chairs, your curtains and drapes. We even use it in the car before we take a long trip.
What the ADMS Anti-Allergen Spray does is to use a combination of non-toxic alkalis and acids to change the chemical structure of the allergy causing proteins. Once the amino acids that make up the protein have been altered, your body will no longer reacts to the allergen.
There is no need to saturate the pieces of furniture or drapes. More is not better! Just a light misting monthly will do the job. The manufacturer recommends that you vacuum when the surface dries, however I have personally found the greatest results by vacuuming first and then spraying.
Most surfaces dry in 15 minutes or so. It is completely safe for most water-safe fabrics. It is also not toxic to your pets or the people in the house.
