Can You have a Dust Ruffle if You Have Allergies?

In my humble opinion, nothing makes a bed look more finished than a dust ruffle.  It’s just that little accessory that makes it bedroom set look complete.  Its like the bow tie on a tuxedo or the pocketbook carried by the Queen of England. But can you have a dust ruffle if you have allergies?

Its function, like a bedskirt, is to cover that awkward area from the bottom of the mattress to just above the floor. This covers your boxspring and also helps hide anything you may have hidden under the bed. It answers the question, “What do I do with the space not covered by my comforter?”

If you have dust mite allergies, the doctors will tell you that if you can’t cover it in a zippered allergy-proof cover or wash it in 140°F  water every week, it has no business on your bed.  Well, it is not practical for me to take my bed apart every 7 days just to get the dust ruffle off and in the wash.  There is no such thing as a dust ruffle cover, but my dust ruffle does have business on my bed.  It is there to look pretty!  It works hard making sure that my boxspring is modestly covered (who wants to show their boxspring??) It turns the area under my bed into the perfect hiding spot for my cat, Faith.  Faith thinks she is like a rare unicorn and cannot be gazed upon by human eyes.  She spends much time in hiding and a favorite spot is under the bed, but I digress.

So, the dust ruffle stays, but the dust mite allergies must go!  My solution?  ADMS anti-allergen spray.  This is the same spray I used to use when I had carpeting in my room.  I just lightly mist the dust ruffle once a month with this solution and my dust ruffle can stay.  ADMS has many great uses.  What it does is denature (or break down) the proteins in the dust mite body and feces that cause me to have allergic reactions.  It also works on other household allergens like mold, pollen and yes even the allergens from hiding cats like Faith.  It is odorless and doesn’t stain. It is safe for all fabrics and almost all surfaces.  I use ADMS Anti-Allergen Spray on other things in my house, such as rugs, upholstered furniture and curtains.  It is great for many things…but when it comes to letting me keep my pretty dust ruffle, it is the best anti-allergen spray there is.  Yes, you can have a dust ruffle if you have allergies if you have ADMS.
