Spring is in the air—and so are dust and pollen. The warm weather and new growth mean a major uptick in potential allergens in your environment, which is why it's more important than ever to keep your house clean, either yourself or through a cleaning service. Frequent cleaning can minimize the allergens in your home so you can rest from your allergies—even if watery eyes and an itchy nose are waiting when you go outside. Classy Clean Maid Service in Colfax, North Carolina, recommends paying particular attention to these areas.

Cleaning Tips for Allergies

1. Vacuum Often

Carpets are the perfect trap for dust, pollen, spores, animal dander—everything that makes your nose run. Make sure to vacuum often, and check to be sure you—or your cleaning service—are using a vacuum with a HEPA filter; otherwise you're just kicking these allergens into the air.

2. Don't Air Dry Laundry

You might think hanging out your sheets on the clothesline will give them a sweet, fresh scent—but it will also load them with pollen which can trigger your allergies. Skip the clothesline and use a dryer; you'll sleep better.

3. Clean Outside Too

Speaking of all the allergens outside, those get tracked in every time someone walks through your door. A clean-swept entryway and a no-shoes policy in the house can all but eliminate this allergy hazard.

4. Get Rid of Clutter

There's no better time for spring cleaning than spring. The more boxes, clothes, and belongings you have around the house, the more places there are for dust and mold to hide. Also, consider changing out dust-collecting curtains for roll shades.

5. Don't Neglect the Bathroom

Damp means mold, which is why you should pay added attention to bathroom cleaning, even if pollen seems the most obvious culprit. Eliminating havens for mold and spores in your house can severely cut down on allergies.

Not everyone has the time to make a major project of cleaning, which is where a cleaning service can help. To clean the allergens from your home, call Classy Clean Maid Service at (336) 869-1886 or contact them online.
