Dusting with allergies
Allergies are the worst. Anyone who suffers from them will tell you just how inconvenient they are. There are many things can cause an allergic reaction but one of them is the dust and dirt in your house. Things like mold, dust, dust mites and pet dander are often triggers for allergy sufferers which is why dusting when you have allergies is important.Â
In efforts to help you allergy-proof your home, itâs recommended that you dust your home on a regular basis. In fact, The Mayo Clinic recommends having a weekly dusting routine. Once you establish a frequent cleaning routine the easier it will be to control and reduce household allergies.
Preventing allergies
Next to the importance of dusting with allergies, you also want to make sure youâre working to prevent further irritation. One of the ways you can do this is by committing to a weekly routine. A routine that consists of removing specks of dust from all surfaces, shaking out all rugs, vacuuming floors using a HEPA filter, and mopping any hard floors.
Other tips & tricks
- Replace your HVAC air filters with HEPA air filtersÂ
- Check air ducts monthly for dust build-up and clean if needed
- Vacuum and steam clean carpets every four to six months
- Take down and wash drapes and curtains every couple of months
- Use a HEPA air purifier in the home
- Keep the temperature of the house 70â° F or below and dry (relative humidity at 50% or below) to create an indoor environment thatâs less hospitable for dust mites and mold spores
