How Capable Cleaners can help you tackle Hay Fever

Cleaning can play a significant role in relieving hay fever symptoms by reducing the allergens present in your indoor environment. Hay fever, also known as allergic rhinitis, is often triggered by common allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and mold spores. Here at Capable Cleaners we share a few tips on how cleaning can help alleviate hay fever: 

 

Dusting and Vacuuming: Regular dusting and vacuuming can help remove dust mites, pollen, and other allergens that settle on surfaces and carpets. Use a damp cloth or microfiber duster to trap and remove the dust instead of spreading it into the air. Vacuuming with a HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter can capture even the tiniest allergen particles, preventing them from circulating in the air. 

 

Bedding and Upholstery: Wash your bedding, including sheets, pillowcases, and blankets, regularly in hot water to eliminate dust mites and pollen. Encasing your mattress, pillows, and duvet in allergy-proof covers can provide an additional barrier against allergens. Vacuum and steam clean upholstery, curtains, and rugs to reduce allergen buildup. 

 

Air Purification: Using an air purifier with a HEPA filter can effectively capture airborne allergens, including pollen, mold spores, and pet dander. Place the purifier in frequently occupied rooms, such as bedrooms and living areas, to help create an allergen-free environment. 

 

Mold Prevention: Damp areas, such as bathrooms and basements, are prone to mold growth, which can exacerbate hay fever symptoms. Regularly clean and dry these areas to prevent mold formation. Use mold-resistant paint or tiles in bathrooms and ensure proper ventilation to reduce moisture levels. 

 

Pet Care: If you have pets and suffer from hay fever, regular grooming and bathing can help minimize the amount of pet dander in your home. It's also advisable to keep pets out of bedrooms and other areas where you spend a significant amount of time. 

 

Minimize Pollen Intrusion: During hay fever season, keep windows closed to prevent pollen from entering your home. Use air conditioning with appropriate filters to maintain a clean and pollen-free indoor environment. 

 

Clutter Free: Clutter in the home can harbour areas that collect dust, even the clutter itself can collect the dust. Reducing clutter makes its easier to clean surfaces reducing the amount of dust in a home and hya fever symptoms
