Breathe Dirty Air … Not a Good Idea … Clean Your AC Filter

When was the last time you looked at your ac or furnace filter? Last week, a month ago, 2 months ago, 6 months ago, never?

We had a customer that did not know she had a filter in the grill that was in the ceiling 14′ feet up and she had been living in the house 4 years. When I pulled it down it was solid. The really sad thing is she had an AC company service her systems every year and they did not bother to look up either.

A dirty ac filter not only hurts the performance of your system it adds to the pollution inside your house. A clean filter will remove many of the harmful airborne allergens floating around in the house.

No matter what type of filter you use, washable or disposable the most important thing to remember is to keep them clean. If it is a washable one clean it when you pay the mortgage, if it is a disposable one put a note on the fridge to remind you to change it. If the kids are old enough and the filters are not hard to get to let them do it. They are helping you and learning at the same time.

Alternative Therapies for Allergies and Asthma

Why do some of you turn to alternative or CAM (complementary and alternative medicine) therapies to treat your allergy or asthma symptoms? Over the years we have been told by many of our customers that they just want relief, tired of the side effects, want something natural, don’t trust the doctor (go find one you do) or some other personal reason. Bottom line is they want something different.

There are all sorts of “Alternative or CAM” types of therapies. These are just a few that have been used by our customers; acupuncture, chiropractic, hypnosis, naturopathy, massage, meditation, magnetic and herbal. In each case we have been told that this is what helped that particular person.

I for one always thought acupuncture was some what of a scam, that is until it was the only thing to fix my sore and stiff back. The thought of someone sticking needles in my back was not something I was looking forward to but a doctor I’ve know for years convinced me to try it. Within a week the pain was gone…

Some people considered the products well carry as “alternative” therapy. A dust mite cover or an air purifier are not drugs but I can say they have helped thousands of people live with their allergies or asthma. ADMS anti-allergen spray does destroy allergens from dust mites, animal dander and pollen which can make the life of an allergy sufferer miserable.

At the end of the day the best advice I can give someone is do what works for you and check with your doctor before you go to far.

ADMS Anti-allergen Spray… Works Great Too!

I know it confuses some people that Allersearch Labs makes two anti-allergen sprays that are effective against dust mites, pollens, and pet dander.

ADS was the original anti-allergen spray that is a tannic acid-based product that is medically proven to neutralize allergens from mites, mold, pet dander, and pollen. Being tannic acid based it may discolor some light fabrics.

The biggest difference is that ADMS anti-allergen spray has no tannic acid or benzyl benzoate making it completely safe for all fabrics. We use the ADMS at home and when we travel and always get great results. The other thing is you have to retreat the area about every 30 days whereas ADS anti-allergen spray last 90 days.

Either product will take care of the allergens.
