Make Your Home Allergy Proof

Various allergies are triggered by mold, dust and pet dander. Therefore, it is very much important for us to keep our home clean and tidy.

You can easily remove the allergens from your home by practicing some simple steps. It takes some time and effort to remove allergens. You have to stick to a goal, develop routines and cleaning strategies to overcome the allergens.

While cleaning your house,
  • Wear high quality dust mask.
  • Wear junky clothes and wash them immediately after use in hot water.
  • Always wear plastic gloves.
  • Use a wet cloth to avoid the dust to spread in the air.
  • Use High Efficiency Particulate Arrestance (HEPA) filtered vacuum cleaner.
  • After cleaning, take bathe.
  • Never use feather duster; it stirs up the dust in the air.
  • If you have floor carpets, vacuum them regularly, in fact daily.
  • Make sure that there is no moisture in your home. This causes the mold to grow.
  • Clean your pets regularly. Pet dander is one of the most dangerous allergen.
  • An allergic person should be more careful while cleaning a house.
