Cleaning Tips for Allergy Sufferers: Reducing Indoor Allergens

August 20, 2023

If you suffer from allergies, keeping your home clean and free of indoor allergens is crucial for minimizing symptoms. Here are some tips to help you reduce allergens in your home.

Dust Mites

Dust mites are a common allergen that can trigger symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, and itchy eyes. To reduce dust mites in your home, start by vacuuming regularly with a HEPA-filter vacuum cleaner. This will help remove allergens from upholstered furniture, carpets, and bedding.

Washing bedding in hot water (at least 130°F) once a week can also help kill dust mites. Use allergen-proof covers for pillows and mattresses to prevent mites from getting inside.

Mold and Mildew

Mold and mildew thrive in damp environments, which can exacerbate allergies. Keep your home well-ventilated, especially in areas prone to moisture such as bathrooms and kitchens. Use an exhaust fan or dehumidifier to remove excess moisture from the air.

Clean mold and mildew off surfaces using a solution of bleach and water (1 part bleach to 10 parts water). Wear gloves, a mask, and protective eyewear for safety. Scrub the area thoroughly, then rinse with clean water.

Pet Dander

If you have pets, you know they can bring joy and comfort to your life. However, their dander (dead skin cells) can also trigger allergies. Regular grooming can help reduce the amount of dander on your pet.

Vacuum frequently, especially areas where your pets spend a lot of time. Consider using an air purifier with a HEPA filter to remove allergens from the air.

Pollen

During peak pollen seasons, keep windows and doors closed to prevent pollen from entering your home. Use a HEPA-filter air conditioner to remove pollen from the air.

Change your air conditioner filter regularly, as a dirty filter can actually circulate allergens back into the air.

Cockroaches

Cockroaches are a common allergen that can trigger symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, and itchy eyes. Keep food sealed in airtight containers, and clean up crumbs and spills promptly to prevent cockroaches from being attracted to your home.

Clean surfaces with a solution of soap and water, then rinse with clean water. If you have a severe cockroach infestation, consider hiring a professional pest control service.

Reducing indoor allergens doesn’t have to be overwhelming. By following these simple tips, you can minimize symptoms and enjoy a more comfortable living space. However, for a truly deep clean that removes stubborn dust, dander, molds, and other allergens, consider our professional Deep Home Cleaning Service. Our expert cleaners use advanced techniques and high-quality products to ensure your home is not only spotless but also free from allergy-triggering particles.

What Our Clients Say

Melanie Howell

Had Alissa from Tucson Home Cleaners over for a deep clean, and the service was wow! With my crazy schedule, cleaning's been on the back burner. Alissa just zoomed through the place, hitting spots I totally forgot existed. My kitchen and bathrooms? Sparkling. And she was super cool about working around my chaos. Seriously, if you're thinking about it, go for it. Alissa's a gem.

Michael Smith

Huge shoutout to Tucson Home Cleaners! Just moved into my first condo and wanted everything to be spick and span. These guys made it happen. From the floors to the countertops, everything was spotless when I walked in. Moving day was a breeze, thanks to their hard work. 10/10 would hire them again!

Emily Rodriguez

I recently booked Tucson Home Cleaners for a premium cleaning service. It was worth every penny. My place has never looked better. They paid attention to every detail, even those hard-to-reach spots I always forget about. Walking into a clean home after a long day at work was the best feeling ever. Highly recommend their premium cleaning service.

David Thomas

Had the post-construction cleaning service done by Tucson Home Cleaners, and I couldn't be happier. After weeks of renovations, my house was a mess. But these guys came in and worked their magic. They left no corner untouched, and now my home feels brand new. Professionalism and attention to detail are unmatched.

Jennifer Miller

Tucson Home Cleaners are absolute gems! Moms know how holding a children's party can be exhausting, but booking them for both before and after cleanup was a great idea. Before the party, they made sure everything was sparkling clean. And afterwards, they arrived promptly and worked their magic, leaving my house spotless again. It was such a relief to kick back and relax, knowing they had everything under control.
