So I'm trying to figure out if some of Frodo's allergies are related to environmental things now that I have his food issues mostly sorted out.
His allergies get worse in the winter so I'm thinking maybe some dusts and such are causing issues? So I want to start doing more cleaning, and more thorough cleaning on a regular basis (I may die) to see if we can cut down on some of that. I'm also toying with the idea of buying a humidifier to cut down on how dry it is, which I read can affect winter allergies a lot.
I also want to switch to less harsh chemicals (Clorox and I have a bad romance going on) both because it'll just be safer, and because that could be an issue as well. I can get the Pawganics stuff at work, and plan on buying the all purpose cleaner and ordering in the wipes for the countertops if I can.
A friend also brought up the idea of using diatomaceous earth to kill dust mites? Anyone tried that before? I'd have to move the rats and lock animals in rooms for that, but it might be worth it if it'll help.
I also just bought some Tide Free & Gentle to use in the washing machine instead of the other stuff I had been using.
Any other ideas or suggestions? Both for brands and for any kind of cleaning that may help?
Thanks in advance
