Instructions
Don't allow your dog to enter your bedroom. Keep the door shut at all times. This will help you sleep better at night and will keep the majority of dog dander out of the room.
Scrub your walls and woodwork. Dog dander is a sticky substance and gets onto these hard surfaces as well as fabrics and carpeting.
Remove all the carpet from your home that you can. Carpeting traps dander particles, and it will be much easier to remove the dander from a hardwood or tile floor.
Vacuum the carpets you do have using a vacuum cleaner with a high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter, and steam clean the carpets regularly. For area rugs and carpets that can be removed, wash them in hot water.
Add an air cleaner to your central heating and air conditioning unit. The air cleaner you choose should have a HEPA filter and should be run at least four hours per day. This will help get rid of dog dander in the air, but not from surfaces.
Groom your dog. Brush him regularly, but make sure this is done by someone without allergies and outside your home. Also, bathe your dog about once a week.
How to Remove Dog Dander
Dog dander is basically your dog's dead skin cells that it sheds on a regular basis. This dander can be found on your dog's fur, your clothing, in your carpet, on your furniture and basically all over your house. When you're allergic to dog dander, your immune system reacts negatively to these cells. Dog allergies can be slight to very severe. Some common symptoms include the swelling and itching of your nose and eyes, a stuffy nose, inflamed eyes or a skin rash. Breathing problems, such as shortness of breath, coughing and wheezing, can occur when dog dander is inhaled. If you suffer from these symptoms and want to keep your dog, you'll have to continuously remove dog dander from your home.
