Vacuum the floors regularly

Vaccuming your entire home once or twice a week is a reasonable frequency and will make a huge difference! Mopping the floor afterwards is a necessary step, too. If you suffer from allergies, consider getting rid of carpets since they are like magnets attracting dust mites, and it’s close to impossible to keep them impeccably clean. Make sure your vacuum is equipped with a HEPA filter so that all the dust stays trapped inside.

Wash bed sheets frequently

Allergy cleaning entails not only washing your bed sheets on a regular basis, but also blankets and pillows. Remember to wash them in at least 60 Celsius degrees since high temperatures kill bed mites, and iron everything than can be ironed afterwards.

Use cleaning supplies which are suitable for allergy cleaning

A lot of traditional cleaning supplies contain chemicals which might trigger an allergic reaction: sometimes even heavily scented products might be too much for those who are sensitive. In order to avoid that, it’s important to look for cleaning products that are specifically marked as safe for asthmatics and allergy sufferers. However, using natural ingredients to clean is always an effective, environment-friendly option! Check out our guide to natural cleaning here.

Declutter your space

It’s much easier to maintain a regular, allergy-friendly cleaning routine when you don’t have unnecessary stuff lying around. With clutter-free countertops and surfaces, dusting with a damp cloth can be done in no time!
