allergies than you think. If getting your allergies under control seems like an attractive

times and surfaces that are currently free to accumulate dust and other harmful or 
undesirable particles. Once you know where all of those areas are in your home, you 
should execute a plan to get rid of each without spreading their allergic payload to other 
areas of the home. Carpet can make the floor feel nice, but it is one of the heaviest 
contributors to allergic reactions due to the presence of irritating particles. Those types 
of areas can accumulate living pests as well.

and clean hanging cloth like tapestries, but very few people actually devote any time to 
cleaning their mattress each month. Cleaning your mattress reduces allergens by a 
wide margin. Part of the particles found in mattresses comes from mites that feed on the 
tiny bits of skin you leave behind When the populations grow large, their feces can 
cause irritation to your eyes, lungs, and nasal cavity.

tons of bacteria onto dinner tables and blowing dirt and other particles into your face.

and upgrade the quality of your air massively.  


Clean Your Broom and Supply Spaces

away, how you do you put those items away? It’s extremely common to simply toss the 
mop or broom aside, into a dark nook where they’ll be ignored until you need them, but 
that might not be wise because the dirt and bacteria you cleaned up still exist on those 
items. Be sure to clean you cleaning supply area in your home so those particles and 
bacteria can get out!
