How To Have an Allergy-Free Home

Dust mites can cause allergies – keep them out of your bed by washing pillows, sheets, blankets, and comforters at least every two weeks. Cover your pillows, mattress, and box spring in washable allergy covers for additional protection.

Load your vacuum cleaner with a high-filtration bag and an exhaust filter and vacuum all carpeted areas regularly.

To prevent mold, put all food items in vacuum-sealed storage containers and wipe down the refrigerator interior with baking soda and water. Wash shower curtains at least once a week to curb mildew and wipe down shower walls after a bath or shower. In the kitchen and bathroom, use a mildew-killing cleanser on the sink and countertops.

Keep your windows closed during the spring and summer months to lock out pollen and other allergens. Keep curtains, window sills, and frames clean to prevent mold from growing. Doesn’t it feel good to breathe easy?
