Forgot to add something to my last post.

In the beginning, I tired to clean my house everyday, change my sheets every other day, etc. and I wore myself out and made myself crazy. There was NO way I could keep up the pace and maintain my health and sanity!

I soon realized that this is not an environmental issue, it is an internal issue. I could clean morning, noon and night and there would always be fibers and specs - until I addressed the real issue, what was going on in my body. Have read that some people have gone as far as to discard everything! So not necessary.

I decided long ago that since in my case it was not a bug issue (mites, etc.) that I would better serve myself to concentrate my efforts on getting myself better, rather than trying to keep my house super clean. It is like trying to keep pollen or dust out of your air - you can minimize it, but you will never rid yourself of it.

I either dust my sheets with D.E. or use a sticky lint roller on my sheets (I change them about every 5 days). I only wear clothing once and every couple of days do my laundry. I used to keep the clothes I wore in plastic bags (thinking they were contaminated) but now use regular laundry bags. I keep one laundry bag for clean clothes and one for worn clothes and just wash the laundry bags frequently.

I put a few menthol crystal balls in my closets and drawers. I use D.E. around the house sparingly (learned this the hard way, by creating a dusty mess). I burn different oils like eucalyptus, tea tree, lavender and menthol crystals. I use air purifiers. I try to sweep every day (because I have 3 dogs) and vacuum and mop my floors every couple of days.

I realized that as I got better, my symptoms would subside and the 'situation' in my house would get better. My need to over clean was just really an expression of my fear and anxiety and the need to try to have some control over the illness - for me it was a diversion.

In the beginning, I was scared of everything, my body, food, my dogs, other people, my house. Now if I have a choice between resting or cleaning like a crazy person - I rest. I wasn't a neat freak before and doubt very much I will be a neat freak now. But I do incorporate healthier cleaning habits to maintain as clean an environment as I physically can without driving myself to exhaustion.

Peace, love and light.
