Tips to Reduce In-Home Allergens
For allergy and asthma sufferers, it is particularly effective to have carpets regularly cleaned, at least once a year, by a professional carpet cleaning business such as Deep Steam Paso Robles carpet cleaning specialists. For those who suffer badly from dust or animal dander allergies, it is best to get carpets cleaned twice per year.
Here are some other tips for keeping homes clean and reducing allergies and asthma:
1) Get a de-humidifier
Humidity can make mold and dust mite growth increase. By lowering the humidity in the home, there is a smaller chance of mold or dust mites being able to grow or colonize.
2) Keep pets out of carpeted areas
Pets are wonderful, but cats and dogs produce dander, which can trigger allergic or asthmatic reactions in many people. Try to keep pets out of areas such as the bedroom. Barns, backyards, laundry rooms and hallways are a great place to keep pets instead. Be especially wary of letting pets on the bed.
3) Get an air filtration system
An air filtration system is a great way to maintain a healthy home, although it is by no means a cure-all. A powerful air filtration system that has its filters regularly changed can be a powerful weapon against allergens.
4) Vacuum twice per week at least
Vacuuming can help control dust, mold and pet dander, but again, it is not a cure-all. The best method of truly controlling the indoor environment is a combination of all the above tips, along with regular vacuuming and deep cleaning.
