Thanks everyone

,
We replaced the carpet in the first stage
(late November) only in the Hallway and did the Kitchen to match, purely for easy clean purposes. The Bedrooms followed as my nasal condition improved so much. Today 4 days on from stage 2
(bedrooms), I'm feeling much better. Little Crystal's eyes are not 'tearing' and as 'Angels Eyes' tablet's take about 6 weeks to show results, it has to be down to the improved environment. Another benefit is how easy it is to slide furniture about making cleaning a much more approachable job to tackle.
I took a look at the mites under a really powerful microscope this morning, ugly little brutes and very much alive and kicking. Experts say homes with bare floors have up to 90 per cent less dust in them than homes with carpets, so it's a healthy option definitely. Tomorrow I'm going to get some spray and then wash all the curtains, cushions etc.
I'd have done it for our little girl anyway as she's worth every penny of the investment! At my age, if you've got the savings, I figure you may as well enjoy the material good these days, as saving sucks that's for sure!
