Allergy sufferers can hardly sleep in a house full of germs and allergens. Luckily, several cleaning methods can help keep allergens away from your home. Here are ways to reduce germs and allergies in your home.

Choose the Right Bedding

 

You should invest in allergy-free bedding that can’t trap dust. Additionally, cover your mattresses and pillow with tightly woven fabrics or impenetrable fabrics. It is imperative to purchase easy-to-clean bedding to improve hygiene. When buying beddings, be inclined to duvets covers made of wool or silk and latex mattresses and pillows inhospitable to dust mites.

 

Besides choosing the right bedding, you need to consider other surfaces. For example, hardwood floors are less prone to dust than carpet flooring. If your headboard is made of fabric, vacuum it frequently to keep dust at bay.

 

Install an Air Filtration System

 

It is advisable not to open windows to bring in fresh air when it is warm. The indoor air should be cleaner than the outdoor one. An air filtration system eliminates airborne particles that include pet hair, allergens, and bacteria. Also, homeowners should strive to replace air conditioning unit filters regularly, especially during allergy season.

 

Vacuum and Clean Surfaces

 

Frequent cleaning and vacuuming will keep indoor allergies away. Vacuums used by pet owners are equally good in eliminating allergens as they have high-quality filters that curb the distribution of dust, fur, and bacteria.

 

It is recommendable to use natural products when removing allergens at home. The ingredients of most natural cleansers are water, vinegar, lemon, and baking powder. Remember to get rid of the dust on the fan blades before turning on the fan.

Carpet cleaning is essential! Hire professional carpet cleaners at least twice a year to keep dust mites and other allergens at bay.

 

Remove Mold in The Bathroom

 

Open the bathroom windows routinely to minimize mold-friendly moisture. Besides, use a ventilation fan to eliminate moisture that attracts mold. It is prudent to know that mold and mildew thrive in damp areas. Therefore, strive to wipe around the tub, sink, and toilet at least twice a week.

 

Sanitize Your Homes

 

Germs hang on surfaces, especially on frequently touched spots like coffee tables, telephones, video controllers, and Tv remotes. Clean such items and surfaces with a disinfectant wipe to prevent germs from spreading. Clean food spills immediately to prevent the growth of bacteria.

 

Clean Railing and Knobs

 

Germs spread like wildfire in cabinet handles, doorknobs, light switches, lamps, faucets, and railings. Use a disinfecting cleaner to sanitize these surfaces often.

 

Keep Counters Sparkling Clean

 

Make it a habit to clean kitchen counters after preparing food. Clean them with hot soapy water to remove grime and gunk. Then use a disinfectant to sanitize them and leave them to dry. Avoid placing your phone, purse, mail, laptop, or anything else on top of them.
