Are you aware that a lot of allergens can be found inside your home? So if you or a family member has been sneezing a lot lately, then maybe it’s time to give your home a reset and follow these steps to make your home allergy-free at last:
- Get that vacuum cleaner working. Dust is the number one allergy trigger, and you know that a lot of things around your house can easily collect dust even if you clean regularly. Sometimes, sweeping and mopping isn’t enough. You have to do some deep cleaning to remove all that stubborn dust around your house. To get the job done, treat yourself to a new battery backpack vacuum that lets you clean every nook and cranny without any worries.
- Keep the mould at bay. You might not see this right away, but there’s a good chance that mould and mildew are already accumulating in places around your house that’s more prone to moisture. It could be your bathroom, kitchen, or those damp areas that could easily be a good breeding ground for these allergens. One good way to prevent that is by putting a dehumidifier around your house to keep the moisture at bay.
- Choose furniture and decor wisely. If your family has strong allergies, then you have to be wise with the furniture and decor that you put around your house. If you’ve had that same upholstered couch for years, then maybe it’s time to switch to a leather or wood sofa. You should also avoid thick carpets, blankets, and cushions that catch allergens quite easily.
- Stop using scented products. While you’d love for your home to smell good, scented products like candles, air fresheners, and even cleaning products can easily trigger your allergies. So switch to more natural alternatives that still get the job done without irritating your noses. You should also avoid storing products with strong smells like stains, solvents, and paint since they can also trigger allergies and even cause some serious health conditions to your household in the long run.
And while you’re at it, you can also get your roof and gutter cleaned to get rid of those dirt, dust, and other allergens that could be causing all that sneezing in your household. Cleaning your roof and gutter even improves your home’s energy efficiency, so give it a go.
