Think your pet-free home is free of pet allergens? Not so. Cat dander has been found in places where cats have never stepped foot, according to American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) case studies. Referred to by allergists as "passive" exposure, cat dander can travel from one place to another from hitchhiking onto clothing and other personal belongings. Read more

Vacuum away allergies

You can blame the wetter and hotter than normal summer we had for the severe seasonal allergies you've been experiencing this fall, according to an article written by Rachael Rettner for MyHealthDaily.com. And while staying inside might keep you away from ragweed, it opens you up to whole other set of potential allergens. Dust, mold, and animal dander (three of the most common allergens), are more likely to be found indoors according to the U.S. Library of Medicine. One way to fight indoor allergens is to get rid of the surfaces that harbor them, such as carpets and upholstered furniture. But that's not terribly practical, so really your best defense is to thoroughly clean your home using a good vacuum cleaner that won't re-release the pesky irritants back into the air when it's emptied. (For tips on how to clean, check out an interview we did with HGTV's Sabrina Soto earlier this year).

Sabrina Soto spends her days pulling apart people's home, constructing their dream abode, or preparing homes to sell. Animal hair, dust and mold are always present and are her kryptonite. Soto has terrible, debilitating allergies though you would never know it when you see her on the HGTV shows, "Real Estate Intervention," "Get It Sold," and starting this September, "The High-Low Project."

Vacuum cleaner

When researching our latest update on upright vacuums, we found that the very best, lightest and most durable vacuums tended to cost upwards of $500 -- a lot of money for a vacuum. Shoppers with deep pockets and lots of carpeting might want to invest in the $500 Dyson DC25 or the $800 Miele S7580, but what about the rest of us?

The Kenmore Progressive Vacuum get top marks.

Maybe a vacuum cleaner isn't a great gift idea (who likes to be told they're messy?), but if your upright is on its last legs, a Sears doorbuster-deal vacuum cleaner may be worth a look. A leaked Black Friday circular from Sears has revealed that the Kenmore Progressive Upright, a ConsumerSearch Best Reviewed vacuum, will be offered at 30% off -- from $300 to $200. (As is the case with all Black Friday leaks, know that  the items and prices have not been officially confirmed, and are subject to change.)
