Frequently Asked Questions
What is "Defend Your Space"?
Defend Your Space is our core collection featuring our popular Allergy Asthma Clean Allergen Spray by Allergy Defender in our bottle and refill options. These products are designed to reduce common indoor allergens on surfaces and in the air-adjacent zone around treated areas. We're talking about dust mites, pet dander, household dust, and the microscopic particles that accumulate where you live, work, and sleep.
How does it work?
Our unique mixture activates with water and, when atomized in a spray, attracts and attaches to allergen molecules and proteins in the air and on surfaces where they bring them down, encapsulate, neutralize them- all with minerals. This creates an invisible protective barrier that prevents allergens from escaping, reducing exposure and creating a cleaner and more allergen-free living space.
What allergens does it target?
Our spray is third-party lab-verified to reduce these specific allergen proteins:
Cat dander – Fel d 1 (the primary cat allergen protein)
Dog dander – Can f 1 (the main dog allergen protein)
Dust mites – Der p 1 and Der p 2 (the major proteins from Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus that trigger reactions in bedding, upholstery, and carpets)
Cockroach allergens – Bla g 1 and Bla g 2 (the primary proteins from German cockroaches that accumulate in indoor environments)
These are the allergens we've had independently tested and verified by Indoor Biotechnologies, the world leader in allergen detection systems.
What about pollen?
We haven't lab-tested our spray for pollen allergens specifically, but many customers report improvement with pollen tracked indoors. We can't make verified claims about pollen effectiveness, but the spray does work on airborne and surface particles—so if pollen settles on your furniture or floats in your air the mineral mechanism may help.
Choosing the Right Product
What sizes are available?
- Standard bottle: 33.8 oz
- Small bundle (bottle plus 1 refill): 67 oz
- Large bundle (bottle plus refill 2 pack): 100 oz
- Refill 2-pack: 64 oz total
- Refill 4-pack: 128 oz total
How do I choose which one to buy?
Start with the standard bottle if you're treating one or two rooms. Already using our sprays and want to restock? Refill packs give you better value per ounce. The bundle options work well if you're treating multiple rooms or want to set yourself up for long-term use. Consider your square footage, number of surfaces, and how often you'll apply.
What's the best value?
Bulk sizes and refill packs give you more coverage per dollar. Compare cost per ounce across options, and think about how many rooms you're treating and how frequently you'll reapply.
How to Use
How often should I apply the spray?
We recommend spraying as needed depending on your allergens. For pet allergens: Daily or as needed. Dust mite allergens: 3x a week. Other: As needed. Allergies and allergens are complex so spraying as often as you need to ensure your continued comfort.
What surfaces can I treat?
It the air and on most surfaces.
Use it on:
- Upholstery, sofas, chairs
- Carpets, rugs, floor mats
- Bedding, mattress surfaces, box springs
- Pet beds and pet furniture
- Curtains, cushions, soft furnishings
- Any fabric surface in living rooms, bedrooms, family rooms
Any tips for getting the most out of it?
Yes. Spray before and after vacuuming or cleaning as both can stir up allergens. No need to saturate – a thin coating works best.
What if my living situation changes?
New pet? New carpet? New roommate? Any change to your indoor environment can shift allergen levels. Re-treat the affected air and surfaces and consider more frequent application for the first few weeks until things stabilize.
Safety & Ingredients
Is this for pets, kids, and sensitive individuals?
Yes. Our formula is non-toxic and free of harsh chemical irritants. I grew up with severe asthma, so I understand firsthand what it means to need a product that won't make things worse. We use only 100% pure minerals—no fragrances, no plant extracts, no petroleum, no harsh chemicals. It's also designed by a pet owner for pet owners.
Is it scented?
No fragrances here. The formula won't mask anything with artificial scents. It's designed for people who are sensitive to smells and want to reduce allergens, not add new ones.
Can I see the ingredient list?
We use only 100% minerals that are commonly found in the foods you eat daily like dairy, meat and used in water softening. No harsh chemicals.
Our Ingredients: FDA & GRAS pure sodium sesquicarbonate, FDA food grade mineral phosphate salts.
WE NEVER USE:
- FRAGRANCES
- VOCS
- HARSH CHEMICALS
- PLANT OR PETROLEUM BASED INGREDIENTS
We prioritize your well-being with a hypoallergenic spray that contains no plant extracts, enzymes, zeolite, petroleum, essential oils, or harsh chemicals. It's free from fragrances and unscented.
How should I store it?
By your bedside for quick access, under your cabinet or on a counter for a quick refresh when needed. No special storing requirements here.
Using It with Other Allergy Strategies
Can I use this with air purifiers, mattress covers, and other products?
Yes – and we encourage it. Our sprays work best as part of a comprehensive approach. Pair them with air purifiers, allergen-proof bedding covers, regular vacuuming with HEPA filters, and pet grooming routines. Each layer adds to your overall allergen reduction strategy.
How does this compare to other allergen-control products?
Most products focus on filtration or barrier protection (like mattress covers). Our sprays work differently – they treat the surfaces where allergens accumulate. Instead of just filtering air or sealing off one item, you're reducing the allergen load in the air first and then on multiple surfaces in the zones where you spend time. Closing the loop by offering full air and surface protection.
