Allergy-Proof Your Home: A Cleaning Guide for Siouxland's Spring
•Checkers Team
Spring in Iowa and the surrounding states brings pollen and other allergens. Learn how a targeted cleaning strategy can turn your home into a safe haven from seasonal allergies.
For many in the Siouxland area, the beauty of spring is accompanied by sneezing, itchy eyes, and other allergy symptoms. Your home should be a retreat. A strategic approach to cleaning can dramatically reduce indoor allergens.
Key Strategies for Allergen Reduction
- Vacuum with a HEPA Filter: A HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter is crucial. It traps tiny particles like pollen, pet dander, and dust mites instead of just recirculating them into the air.
- Damp Dusting: Dry dusting can kick allergens up into the air. Using a damp microfiber cloth traps and removes them from surfaces effectively.
- Wash Bedding in Hot Water: Wash all sheets, pillowcases, and blankets weekly in hot water (at least 130°F) to kill dust mites.
- Declutter to Reduce Dust Traps: Knick-knacks, piles of books, and other clutter are magnets for dust. A minimalist approach can make cleaning easier and more effective.
- Keep Windows Closed: During high pollen season, use your A/C to cool your home and filter the air. Make sure your HVAC filter is clean!
