My point was that it could save people a lot of heartache and money, to get things cleaned/poss treated, as opposed to ripping up carpets, throwing out furniture and spending money on hard flooring.
Surely it would have been cheaper for them if the cleaning industry professionals/experts did their thing i.e.
get rid of mites (which is what the whole programme was all about).
Obviously I wasnt expecting a nice suggestion (or free advertising) from the programme makers/doctors to go and use a cleaning company, or use a particular product, but it would have been a good extension of the programme if they at least brielfly showed that there are alternatives out there - especially if someone cannot afford to throw stuff out/rip up carpets & replace - or people who are emotionally attached to things.
So who do we believe the medical people who have studied for years and gained qualifications in their chosen subject asthma or some disgruntled carpet cleaners who have done some research on the internet or be told by a supplier who is selling a product that reduces allergens in the home? The scientists proved in last nights show that the regime followed on the programme showed a significant reduction in the mites so do we not believe them either they had far more sophisticated tools available to them than we do.
STEVE........Just to let you know, the scientists as you are suggesting recommend getting rid of furnishings (old carpets, furniture, clutter etc) - THATS IT! Not that scientific is it - we could actually save people doing this, or have you not thought about it?
Also, Im not a disgruntled carpet cleaner (if you were referring to me), and I havent done some research on the internet. I am asthmatic myself and know what works - Dont think I'll be ripping up me carpets or throwing out my sofas just yet
