Day 3-The 7 day challenge to detoxing your home

Challenge # 3- Bedroom

Instead of using a broom or duster to rid your house of dust, use a HEPA-filtered vacuum and try some of these tips recommended at Goodhousekeeping.com to remove hard to reach dust.  Brooms and dusters just move dust around or send it flying into the air and up our noses.  The problem with this is that dust bunnies are a cocktail of phthalates, Flame Retardants, and various pesticides. 

My favorite HEPA vacuum is the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser Upright Vacuum Cleaner.  Having 3 animals I know what it is like to try and get those stubborn hairs out of carpet, especially on stairs.  This vacuum removes 99.97 percent of allergens down to 0.3 microns and has a Pet Turbo Brush attachment that can lift and capture stubborn hair from upholstery.
