Let's Flip for Fall: Aller-Ease Bedding Set Giveaway! 5 Days Only!

~~The giveaway is now CLOSED~~

Have you joined the Flip for Fall Circle on The Motherhood? I've seen quite a few new members and a good number of allergen control tips submitted for consideration of the "Ultimate Flip for Fall Checklist". You guys are amazing. Thank you so much for your participation! For those who have no clue of what I'm talking about, please read my introduction to the campaign sponsored by Aller-Ease. You need to hurry if you want to win one of the Aller-Ease bedding sets, since the contest ends this Sunday, 9/20/2009! Please be reminded that the more tips you submit, the better your chances of winning are.

My husband has been suffering from seasonal allergies for years and we've been actively searching for ways to help relieve his symptoms. I'm so excited to be part of the Flip for Fall campaign because not only will I be able to try out allergen filtration bedding products from Aller-Ease, but I'll also be getting great tips and suggestions from you. Aller-Ease has generously provided each of the 10 participating bloggers with 2 Standard Allergen Barrier Pillows with Washable Covers, 2 Deluxe Zippered Pillow Protectors and a queen size Cotton Mattress Protector (as shown below). I'll show you these amazing products and how we use them to flip for all in a later post. And anyone who is willing to share what you do to flip for all will be eligible to win the same gift set on my blog.

Here is a list of things we do to prepare our home for the change of season:

• Change and wash bedding every week. Now that we've got Aller-Ease products that provide an allergen filtration layer, we may only need to change every other week.
• Vacuum the carpet daily. It'll be ideal to use a vacuum equipped with a HEPA filter, but we don't have one now.
  
• Change clothes when we get home from the outside. We do this for all seasons.
  
• Change air conditioner filters more frequently.
• De-clutter and clean the rooms more frequently to minimize dust buildups

Since we don't have pets, we don't have to worry about pet hair. Now it's your turn to share and win!
