Moving to my new house + sorting allergy issues


Asalam Alaikum sisters, 

As I write I stare at this monster :)


Stare with me as I go through my allergy fighting strategy with you. In my new house inshallah I am taking no chances with bugs. 

With property so difficult to find in Sydney already, twice I have had to evacuate houses because of dust mites. Dust comes with free dust mites but when they get inside our linen, upholstery and clothes that's when it becomes a problem. The problem is in their waste, their feaces are what sets off itchy eyes, runny noses and scratchy throats. 

Brothers from the masjid have hooked us with a carpet cleaning brother from the masjid. Another brother is a professional cleaner who will inshallah take care of fly screens, nooks and corners. I'm on general scrub duty, scrubbing and cleaning anything and everything and hubby is washing almost a dozen loads of laundry - we are washing everything from blankets, curtains, mats, tea towels, decor, soft toys to clothes because dust mites love fabric. 

I am also keeping wardrobes airy, throwing away as many clothes, giving them in charity too at Auburn, Masjid Al Noor has a bin apparently. More details as I find them inshallah. 


These hanging wardrobe organizers are from Target. I prefer chest drawers but I want to let as much sun and breeze onto the clothes as possible. 

And eucalyptus is a cure for dust mite infestation. So I have these sprays all over my houses. Any other eucalyptus solution can be added to sheets and clothes in the wash to kill the bugs out. 

I pray that sisters find this post beneficial. Do share your allergy fighting tips with me too.

Umm musk :)
