Breathe Easy: 6 Simple Cleaning Tips to Help with Allergies
Ah, allergy season. The sneezing, itchy eyes, runny nose—it’s all too familiar when pollen, dust, and pet dander are in the air. But don’t worry—we’ve got your back (and your sinuses)! A cleaner home can mean fewer allergy triggers and a lot more comfort.
Here are six simple cleaning tips to help you feel better fast:
1. Vacuum Before You Dust
If you’re starting with thick layers of dust, vacuuming first can help capture more allergens before they become airborne. We recommend using a lightweight vacuum like the Shark Rocket, especially with a HEPA filter, to trap the tiniest particles.
2. Ditch the Dust with Microfiber + PÜR Evergreen
Microfiber cloths are your allergy-season best friend. Spray a bit of our PÜR Evergreen All-Purpose Cleaner onto your cloth and wipe surfaces like shelves, end tables, and windowsills. It grabs and holds onto dust instead of sending it floating through the air.
3. Swap Out Your Air Filters Monthly
Your HVAC system does more than keep your house comfy—it filters out airborne allergens too. Changing your filters once a month can drastically improve indoor air quality. Bonus: it helps your system run more efficiently!
4. Wash Bedding Weekly in Hot Water
Dust mites love to hide in your pillows and sheets. Washing your bedding—including pillowcases and blankets—in hot water (at least 130°F) once a week kills germs and dust mites that contribute to sneezing and congestion.
5. Don’t Forget the Curtains
Curtains are often overlooked, but they collect allergens just like anything else. Remove them and run them through the wash in hot water (check the label first!) to help freshen your space.
6. Vacuum with a HEPA Filter Vacuum (Again!)
Yes, it’s worth repeating: vacuuming with a HEPA filter is a game-changer during allergy season. It traps allergens rather than recirculating them in your home.
Take a Breath of Fresh Air
With a few mindful cleaning habits and the right products, allergy season doesn’t have to mean misery. And remember—our PÜR Evergreen cleaner is safe for kids, pets, and allergy-prone families. 🌿
