Use HEPA Filters: Invest in a vacuum cleaner and air purifiers equipped with HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filters. These filters trap allergens such as dust, pet dander, and pollen, preventing them from being released back into the air.

Dust with a Damp Cloth: Instead of using a dry cloth, which can stir up dust particles, use a damp microfiber cloth to dust surfaces. This helps trap the dust rather than spreading it around.

Wash Bedding Frequently: Allergens like dust mites and pet dander can accumulate in your bedding. Wash sheets, pillowcases, and blankets regularly in hot water (at least 130°F) to kill dust mites and remove allergens.

Avoid Scented Cleaning Products: Many cleaning products contain fragrances that can irritate allergy symptoms. Opt for unscented or natural cleaning solutions to minimize the risk of triggering allergic reactions.

Keep Windows Closed During Pollen Season: If you’re allergic to pollen, it’s best to keep windows closed during high pollen seasons. This prevents allergens from entering your home and triggering symptoms.

Clean Floors Regularly: Allergens tend to settle on floors, so be sure to sweep, mop, and vacuum floors often. Consider using a vacuum with a HEPA filter to reduce the spread of dust and allergens.
