Did you know: One in five Americans has asthma and allergies? Interior Designer Robin Wilson offers help
Say hello to Robin Wilson, a lifestyle brand entrepreneur, author and interior designer who is considered a thought leader/expert on hypoallergenic and her Clean Design™ protocols for allergy and asthma-friendly wellness spaces.
Did you know: One in five Americans has asthma and allergies. That’s a whopping 60 million people who are sniffling and sometimes struggling to breathe every day. Robin’s mission is to increase awareness that many homes are filled with triggers and toxins, which can damage the health of its inhabitants. In collaboration with the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, her book, “Clean Design,” explains that with a few simple changes, they can clean house — and breathe better.
Robin’s Clean Home Design philosophy is the key: “I know exactly how asthma and allergy sufferers feel because I have spent much of my life struggling with these issues myself. As a child in Texas, I had terrible allergies and our pediatrician told my parents they had a choice — to raise a strong child who can learn to cope with her breathing issues by using natural remedies, or raise a child on strong medicine. I thank them for opting for the former, and appreciate how hard they worked to create a wellness lifestyle for me. My goal is to provide affordable options to millions of others in the same situation as I was using Clean Design.”
Get started now two tips that Robin shared during our video interview:
- Is “hard water” causing a ring around your toilet bowl or tub? try using soda as a scrub and let it sit for a bit to work its carbonated magic. We tried it right after, and it worked like a charm causing to wonder if it can clean that mess what’s it doing to your body if you drink? Note: You might want to use clear soda — not that it makes a difference; it just looks a little, well, less icky sitting in the bowl.
- Have you washed your pillows lately? Robin said to use the rule of threes: (1) Change your pillow case every three days (2) Wash your pillow every three months because they collect everything that’s shedding — your hair, dry skin, etc. We tried this with two pillows; one got chewed up but the other survived just fine helping rule #3 arrive sooner than later.
(3) Buy new pillows every three years. “Everything has a shelf life,” Robin insists.
