I had this problem and didn't have the time or energy to wash everything. I invested in a room air cleaner, it was costly $350.00 but it was and still is worth every penny. It costs about $3.00 a month to run. It also keeps the room clear of pollens that come in on our clothing. Easier to sleep in the next bedroom. I figured what I saved in water, electric, vinigar and soaps etc. it was worth it.
