Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Robin Wilson.


Topic: Clean Design, wellness, asthma and allergy–aware living
Featured Work:Clean Design: Wellness for Your Lifestyle

Robin Wilson, a clean design lifestyle expert and founder of the Clean Design Home brand, joins Rushion McDonald to discuss how everyday household choices directly impact health—particularly for people living with asthma, allergies, and chronic inflammation. Drawing from her personal experiences as a lifelong allergy and asthma sufferer, Wilson explains how creating an allergen-aware home can dramatically improve quality of life.

Purpose of the Interview

The primary purpose of the interview is to:
Educate listeners about how indoor environments contribute to asthma, allergies, and chronic health issues
Promote Robin Wilson’s Clean Design philosophy and book, which provides room-by-room guidance for creating healthier homes
Raise awareness that simple, practical lifestyle changes—not expensive renovations—can significantly improve wellness
Normalize conversations around asthma, allergies, and environmental triggers as serious, manageable health conditions

Rushion also uses the platform to share his own deeply personal experiences with allergic reactions, reinforcing the life-changing importance of Wilson’s message..

Key Takeaways 1. Your Home Should Be a Breathing Sanctuary

Wilson emphasizes that many people focus on outdoor allergens while overlooking indoor exposure. Shoes, coats, pillows, furniture, and bedding often trap pollen, bacteria, and toxins that worsen symptoms once brought indoors..

2. Pillows and Bedding Are Major Health Triggers

One of the most memorable segments centers on pillows:
Many people keep pillows for six years or more
Old pillows accumulate dander, pollen, drool, bacteria, and allergens
A pillow that stays folded is a sign it needs to be replaced

Wilson introduces her “rule of threes”:
Wash pillowcases every three weeks
Wash pillow protectors every three months
Replace pillows every three years

Rushion shares that replacing a problematic pillow helped eliminate a chronic cough that seriously affected his life..

3. “Allergen-Aware” Is More Honest Than “Hypoallergenic”

Wilson avoids the term hypoallergenic because allergies vary from person to person. Instead, she advocates for ingredient transparency, empowering consumers to decide what is safe for their bodies and homes..

4. Small Habits Create Big Health Outcomes

Key daily practices include:
Removing shoes immediately upon entering the home
Washing hands before eating
Changing clothes after being outdoors
Cleaning from the top down (ceiling fans, surfaces, floors)
Protecting mattresses and pillows with zippered covers

Wilson stresses that consistency—not perfection—is what reduces exposure over time..

5. Asthma Is a Serious Chronic Condition

Wilson compares asthma management to diabetes care:
It requires ongoing lifestyle adjustments
Ignoring triggers increases the risk of severe attacks
Clean environments reduce flare-ups and emergency situations

She explains that nighttime asthma and allergy attacks often occur when cortisol levels drop during sleep, allowing reactions to surface..

6. The Book Is a Practical, Room-by-Room Guide

Clean Design: Wellness for Your Lifestyle is designed as a reference guide, not a cover-to-cover read. It addresses:
Entryways and living rooms
Bedrooms and nurseries
Kitchens and bathrooms
Home offices, basements, garages, and outdoor spaces

Wilson also includes low-toxicity cleaning tips inspired by her grandmother, such as using baking soda, toothpaste, and even Coca-Cola instead of harsh chemicals..

Notable Quotes

“One in five people suffer from asthma or allergies… and the home should be a sanctuary for easy breathing.”.

“Break up with your pillow.”.

“You might be allergic outside—and then come inside and double your allergen load.”.t

“Asthma is like diabetes. If you manage the triggers, you reduce the risk of a serious episode.”.

“It’s all about effort and consistency.”.
