Spring Cleaning Guide for Allergy Sufferers

With spring blossom comes a very nasty time of year where allergies are most active. Everybody is more susceptible of allergies during this season exactly because of all the bloom carried around in the air. And that, sadly, does not only happen outside your house. What with all the blooming, you are also susceptible to the allergens which you have inside the house – anything from dust to home cleaners will be a cause to some nasty consequences which you will want to avoid. And the best way to avoid them is a good old spring cleaning. Endeavour in a thorough home cleaning and see how allergies will have absolutely no effect on you whatsoever. And here is the best way to tackle that challenge.

The Quick Solution
First of all, if you are usually susceptible to allergies, maybe you should sit this one out. Either get help from a friend or partner, or just call your local cleaning company to come and deal with an organic house cleaning. They will make sure that no dust and allergens are left to bother you. But you should absolutely stay away from anything that could trigger an allergic reaction – of course, it will react differently, depending on how severe your reaction is, but even a rash is a nasty thing to deal with, so better leave it to others.

What to Avoid?
Many cleaning products are definitely not user-friendly. Yes, they have all the ingredients which eat through a variety of stains and cleanse all surfaces from dirt and dust. They also have chemical-heavy and toxic ingredients which could damage you more than the allergens you are trying to get rid of in the first place. Thus, you should try to be green and clean only with natural products, or at least be careful with products which contain ammonia, formaldehyde, sulphates and chlorites. All those are found in cleaning products such as upholstery and furniture polish, dish soaps, window and bathroom cleaners, and fabric and laundry detergents.

Alternative Cleaning
If you do endeavour in house cleaning, then you can make use of some proven methods of easy and organic cleaning. They will save you a lot of effort and trouble with dealing with the chemical substances and other irritants. There is a variety of home-made cleaning solutions which you can use instead of the toxic cleaners you buy at the supermarket. You probably already know them, but here is a reintroduction:
•    Microfiber cloths – the ultimate cleaning tool, used with no detergents and no cleaners. Wipe, clean with water, wipe again.

•    Baking soda – perfect for rough stains and tough surfaces. It’s abrasive and non-toxic, it can be made into soda paste by adding 1/3 water and you can clean your whole bathroom using only that.
•    White vinegar – an excellent solution for deep cleaning, its acidic properties go very deep and eat through all sorts of matter, just be careful because the same properties might work bad on the surface, so always test it.

•    Lemon juice – citric acid has great cleaning properties, and as an added bonus, it also disinfects better than any of the rest of the home cleaners, and brings about a brilliant fresh smell.

Places to Clean
And, of course, you need to know what you need to turn your attention to before it becomes a problem. You want to reduce all your clutter so that there are less places that accumulate dust, that means doing some de-cluttering and having less places to dust. Doing some laundry will be good, because you want all your sheets and blankets to be squeaky clean and free of dust mites and accumulated allergens. Also get rid of any food that is close to its expiration date, and clean all the counters and other surfaces which you regularly use.

And with this you are ready to face the allergens at home. It will be an easy battle – you have all the tools and all the knowledge you need to take down any threat to your health. Give your home some proper cleaning services and stay healthy.
