The new place was clean. My stuff wasn't. I felt genuinely better when I moved last year. For about four days, anyway. Then the morning congestion came back and I sat on the edge of the bed thinking what is the point. I had just upended my entire life to move somewhere clean and my body was doing the exact same thing it always did. Turns out the prblem came with me in the removal van.Your mattress and pillows have been collecting dust mites for however long you've owned them. A new postcode doesn't reset that. I genuinely did not know this and i wish someone had told me before I moved rather than after.

So if you're in the middle of moving, or about to be, do these things before the bedroom is set up. Hot wash everything at 60 before it goes on the bed. Open the windows every morning for the first few weeks because new homes trap more humidity than you'd think and mites need it to survive. And actually deal with the mattress because a normal hoover doesn't touch what's built up inside it. That was the bit i left too long. Im not saying this fixes everything. But movng is the one moment you have a genuine clean slate and it's really easy to accidentally skip it.

Hi! Been wanting to go into archviz freelancing, I am an architect, but I have not really been, let's just say, the best in architectural rendering and visualization. I want to improve my skills but first i think I want to understand fully, what is the workflow for this? How do you start a project from getting a project brief and everything, and what is the step-by-step workflow commonly to get high quality architectural renders and visualization?

I've been using mattress and pillow protectors for a while now, mainly because of dust mite allergy, and one thing I noticed is that they can vary a lot more than i kind of expected. Some felt almost unnoticeable after a few nights, while others seemed to make the bed feel warmer or slightly change the feel of the mattress. every brand I tried I'd get a different sense of it or experience from it. After trying a few diffeent brands over the years and my current setup is actually pretty comfortable, which is what made me realize how much some protectors can affect the overall feel of a bed. Before that ikind of assumed they were all basically the same.

For those who use protectors long term, have you found that they affect comfort at all, or is it mostly a matter of choosing the right material? I'm curious whether this is something other people notice too or if I'm just overly sensitive to changes in bedding, I am actually pretty sensitive and its hard for me to fall asleep.

As someone with a dust mite allergy for some time now, I noticed that I generally felt fine when I was out, but after spending time at home my symptoms would gradually return, things like congestion, itchy eyes, and sneezing, and sometimes the room just felt a bit heavy. At first, I assumed I just needed to clean more, so I stuck to a regular routine: vacuuming, washing bedding weekly in hot water, and keeping dust under control. Using a HEPA air purifier also helped, especially at night.

In the end, though, managing humidity made the biggest difference. Using a dehumidifier had the most noticeable impact, and with mattress and pillow protectors, things became much more manageable. I still keep up a consistent cleaning routine, since I’ve noticed that if I slack off, the symptoms slowly start coming back.

hello! just want to ask is there a revit file viewer for ipad? where i can see the project, the model, etc?

I’ve had dust mite allergy for over ten years, and i noticed I’m usually fine at home, but some hotels really seem to set me off. I’ll go to bed feelng okay, then wake up congested and a bit off. At home i usually run a hepa air purifier, so I’m probably just more used to a controlled environment, which makes the difference more noticeable when I travel. It doesn’t really seem to have much to do with how clean the room looks.

Over the last couple of years I’ve been travlling more for work as an architect, so i’ve had to make a few adjustments like bringing nasal spray, anti dust mite pillow protectors, and antihistamines, and just being a bit more careful with my routine. I also sometimes ask for extra cleaning or fresh bedding if i know I’m likely to react. That’s helped quite a bit overall. Has anyone else had the same thing with hotels and found anything that helped?

i used to think humidity didn’t really matter tbh.
for years i just did the usual cleaning like vacuuming, washing bedding, damp dusting etc and thought that should be enough. but i’d still wake up some mornings feeling all congestd or just foggy for no real reason.

after dealing with a dust mite allergy for a while, i started noticing it was often worse after sleep, so i started paying more attention to the room itself rather than just cleaning. i kept seeing humidity mentioned here and there (even on reddit), so it got me wondering if that might be part of it. i’ve tried a few small things over time like a dehumidifier and bedding changes but i’m still kind of figuring out what actually helps and what doesn’t tbh.

has anyone else had it where cleanng just wasn’t enough and other environmental stuff turned out to matter more than expected?
