Tips for Reducing Dust and Allergens in Your Home

Dust and allergens can quickly accumulate in your home, affecting air quality and triggering allergies. Implementing effective cleaning strategies is key to maintaining a healthy, allergen-free environment. Here are some practical tips for reducing dust and allergens to help allergy-prone households breathe easier.

Vacuum Regularly

Carpets, rugs, and upholstered furniture can trap dust and allergens. Use a vacuum with a HEPA filter at least twice a week to capture fine particles. Don’t forget to vacuum under furniture and along baseboards where dust tends to collect.

Dust the Right Way

Instead of spreading dust around, use microfibre cloths or electrostatic dusters that trap particles effectively. Work from top to bottom, starting with ceiling fans and light fixtures, and finish with surfaces like shelves and tables.

Wash Linens Frequently

Bedding, curtains, and throw blankets can harbour dust mites and allergens. Wash these items weekly in hot water to kill dust mites and remove allergens. Consider using allergen-proof covers on mattresses and pillows for added protection.

Improve Air Filtration

Replace HVAC filters regularly and consider using an air purifier with a HEPA filter to capture airborne allergens. Keeping windows closed during high-pollen seasons can also help reduce allergen intrusion. High humidity encourages mould growth and dust mites, so also consider a dehumidifier to maintain your indoor humidity levels.
