Reduce Allergens In Your Home With These 11 Top
Tips
2

• Airborne allergens are difficult to eliminate
  inside any home, and if you suffer from asthma,
  Hayfever or experience any breathing issues, they
  can quickly and easily aggravate your symptoms.
• While hiring a regular cleaning service is a
  great way of being able to breathe cleaner air
  inside your home, there are several things you
  can do yourself to minimize their presence, and
  here are 11 tips you can try
• Vacuum regularly
• Adding vacuuming to your regular cleaning
  schedule can make a huge difference, and by
  whizzing around your home with the vacuum cleaner
  a couple of times a week, you can limit airborne
  allergens and minimize their spread.

• Dust properly and regularly
• If there are areas of your home that cant be
  vacuumed (although the attachments on a vacuum
  cleaner are usually pretty good for getting into
  and under smaller spaces), then you must make
  sure to dust them regularly. Just make sure you
  use a damp microfiber cloth so that youre not
  simply spreading the dust and allergens from one
  place to another. Start at the top of a room, and
  work your way down.

4

• Replace air filters regularly
• You may need to seek specialist advice from a
  HVAC expert, but generally speaking, filters will
  need to be cleaned or replaced on a regular
  basis, and having the entire system assessed and
  cleaned periodically, is a great way of
  minimizing allergens, too.
• Dont bring outerwear, into the home
• While this doesnt mean literally leaving coats
  and shoes outside your home, it does mean trying
  not to bring them into the main area of your
  home. If you can. Have shoe racks and coat pegs
  immediately inside the doors to your home, so
  that members of the household and any visitors or
  guests dont track allergens into your home on
  their outerwear.

5

• Keep clutter to a minimum
• Simply put, the less clutter you have, the less
  surfaces there are for dust and other allergens
  to settle on.
• Wash linen often
• Bedding is notorious for attracting bed mites
  which can aggravate a number of health problems,
  so be sure to wash and change them at least
  weekly.
• Avoid opening doors and windows
• Instead of flinging your doors and windows open
  on warm days, its better for the health of the
  air inside your home, if you switch on the air
  conditioning and start circulating clean air
  around.

6

• Buy an air purifier
• These are great for helping to make the air
  inside your home purer (as the name so rightly
  suggests!), and for anyone with allergies, these
  can be a great investment.
• Groom pets frequently
• Pet dander and hair is a troublesome irritant
  inside homes, but by regularly bathing (always
  check with a veterinarian to determine an
  appropriate bathing schedule for your pet) and
  grooming your pets (and outside if possible), you
  can minimize the amount of hair and dander that
  gets spread around your home.

7

• Get a handle on humidity
• Dust mites and mold thrive in warm, humid
  climates, and as these are known allergens, you
  should try to keep the temperature of your home
  at between 68 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit to reduce
  their presence.
• Dont forget to clean blinds and drapes
• Blinds and drapes can be real havens for dust,
  and thanks to their proximity to windows, they
  can accumulate pollen and dust far quicker than
  anything else in your home clean them often to
  prevent this from happening.
