Cleaning Tips to Control Allergies

by Matt 14. June 2012 02:47

Pollen, dust mites, mold, and spores invade many homes making life difficult for people with allergies.  While no home can be completely allergen free, cleaning on a regular basis can reduce the number of allergens in your home.

Listed below are some cleaning tips to help alleviate your allergy symptoms and reduce allergens in your home:

Allergens and irritants rest on surfaces like rugs, furniture, and counter tops.  The best types of cleaning products for you to use are those that are non-toxic. Green cleaning products can do the job to reduce allergens.  Remember to read the labels.  Housekeeping itself can stir up the dust that causes allergic symptoms, so dust, sweep or vacuum outside entry areas to avoid tracking pollen and debris inside.

Allergist recommends using a Hepa Filter Vacuum cleaner that has a High Efficiency Filter because HEPA reduces airborne allergens by trapping dust mites and other small particles and won’t release them back into the air while you clean.  Keep the beater bar brush free of hair and other material. Have the vacuum serviced often to keep it running smoothly.

Install dehumidifiers in basements where moisture tends to collect.  A dehumidifier pulls the humidity out of the air, reducing dust mites, mold and mildew.  For air filtration; choose an air filter that contains small particles or a Hepa filter.  The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) recommends air filtration to control sources of allergy causing pollution. 

Shut windows and run air conditioner when pollen count is high.

Just focus on the basics and don’t get overwhelmed. Fewer symptoms help vastly to improve your quality of life.
