So we find ourselves well into March now. And do you know what that means? Spring allergy season has returned. In this blog, we’ll give you a handy guide on cleaning to reduce allergies. Cleaning to reduce allergies will no doubt help alleviate your allergy-induced misery. Stop sneezing, coughing, and eating allergy medicine like candy right away!
Cleaning to Reduce Allergies Is Ridiculously Easy!
Dust to Dust: One of the first things you’ll want to do is get rid of dust. Dust mites are the most frequent culprits behind your allergy woes. But be aware that dusting can actually make things worse because the dust will go flying everywhere. So dust in a smart fashion: use a damp cloth and wear a special mask. Reducing clutter helps too, since clutter is a huge dust magnet.
Vacuuming: Vacuuming is another fantastic way to reduce allergies. As with dusting, beware all the dust that can kick up. Confirm that your vacuum has strong enough filters (especially HEPA filters), and be sure to vacuum at least once or twice a week. You’ll start feeling better already.
Get Caught Up on Your Washing: Make sure you wash in hot water (at least 130 degrees) Wash your bed linens weekly, including your pillows and stuffed animals. Dry-clean and spin inside a hot dryer for at least 20 minutes to maximize the cleaning potential.
Reduce Mold and Mildew: Bleach and water is an easy solution to remove mold. Consider replacing wallpaper with tile. Using mold-resistant paint on the walls is another possible option. Scrub off any mold you might find in the bathroom. It might be time-consuming, but towel down the wet surfaces in the bathroom, particularly the shower or tub. After taking a shower or bath, use an exhaust fan to help dry off the surfaces that got wet. And if necessary, run a dehumidifier in areas that might need it, like in the basement.
