- Hullo. Regularly washing a cat in clear water washes rinses off saliva and
- allergens. Furthermore it has been proven to _reduce allergen production_ by the
- cat. If you're going to soak the cat anyway, why not try water before spending
- the money on Allerpet?
-
- Combing the cat(s), vacuuming, handwashing and keeping cats off bedding can go
- a long way toward reducing allergy symptoms in household members or guests.
