Hi,
I’m planning on moving, and the only piece of furniture that I couldn’t get rid of was my bed. That’s ok, since I never really wanted to get rid of it in the first place. I do however, need advice on how to safely move my bed. I plan on tying it to the top [...]

Does anyone have any tips on getting rid of dust mites (or at least preventing them from causing allergies)? I have dust mite covers on my mattress, box spring and pillows. What vacuum cleaners work best? I've been considering a Dyson Animal (because I have cats). Your thoughts?
Thanks!

I just bought some dust mite covers for my mattress, box spring, and pillows.
I was just wondering if I should put tape over the zippers of the covers to keep dust from escaping?
Thanks.
