Easy ways\nto make your home allergy proof in winter<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nYou may find your home clean but it does contain\nmany allergens that are not always visible to human eyes. But, they are strong\nenough to make you fall sick. So, to fight these indoor allergens besides\nkeeping your home clean, you need to do something extra. Well, they also form a\npart of the cleaning itself but also include some additional work that needs to\nbe done. Listed below are a few of the most effective ways to make your home\nallergy free easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Declutter your home<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nThe first and the foremost thing that you should\ndo is, to remove all of the excess items from your home and keep only the ones\nthat are essential for you. This is necessary as this will make your cleaning\nvery easy as you will be able to reach out the hidden corners of your home and\nclean them. Moreover, too much clutter makes the house environment very\nsuffocating and so, if you declutter, the indoor air will become much more\nrefreshing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Change air filters<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nOne of the best ways to keep your home allergy\nproof during winter is by changing the air filters time to time. This in fact,\nnot just improves the quality of the indoor air but also helps in extending the\nlife of the system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Moreover, the dirty air fillers prevent the\nsystem from trapping the airborne allergens as well as often blow out very\ndangerous particles through the vents that can easily make you and your family\nmembers sick, so the filers must be changed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have plans to use the heating unit all\nthrough the winter months, then do not forget to change the furnace filters as\nwell. This will prevent the pet dander, dust mite feces, mold and other\nallergens from circulating in the indoor air. So, please change the air filters\nthrough the winter months and keep your home free of the allergens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clean and sundry bedding<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nSince you spend a lot of time in the bed, you\nshould make sure that your bedding is absolutely clean. In fact, you should\nmake it a habit of changing your bed sheets, pillow cases every week so that it\ndoes not get too filled with dust and other allergens that can easily make you\nfall sick. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I will also suggest you to encase the mattress,\npillows and box springs in dust-mite-proof covers. You may even replace the\nfeather or wool bedding with synthetic materials. Also, make sure that the\ncomforter you use is always covered and is washed frequently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clean the floors<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nThere is lot of germs hidden on the floors,\nespecially if your floors are covered with carpets. So, you must make sure that\nyou are vacuuming the carpets weekly in order to get rid of the dust, dirt and\nthe germs. You may like to use a vacuum cleaner that has high efficiency,\nparticulate air filter or one having small particle. However, simply vacuuming\nwill not be sufficient, so you must also shampoo the carpet time to time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you find that cleaning and maintaining carpet is difficult, then you may remove carpets and use linoleum or hardwood flooring and place washable area rugs to enhance the look. Else it is advisable that you go for low pile instead of going for high-pile carpeting. And, hiring a professional cleaning companies<\/a> for full house or carpet cleaning<\/a> is always an option.<\/p>\n\n\n\nClean the windows<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nIt is preferable if you keep your windows close\nand rely more on air-conditioning during the pollen season. This will minimize\nthe entry of the allergens from the outside. If you live in a country that\nexperiences severe winter, you may go for double paned windows. And, to get rid\nof the allergens, make it a habit to clean the condensation and mold from the\nwindow sills and frames. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To make your cleansing task easier, replace your\ncurtains with washable ones made of synthetic fabric or plain cotton. The\nhorizontal blinds may also be replaced with washable roller type shades. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use a humidifier<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nDuring the winter, humidifiers are one of the\nbest appliances that you can keep at home. The reason behind this is because in\norder to stay warm, you turn on the heater which leads to drier air inside the\nhome which in turn, many a times leads to a lot of problems starting from dry\nskin, to allergies to asthma issues etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Basically, the humidity levels inside the home get too much low during the winter (due to constant use of heater) than they need to be in order to keep the allergens at bay. Therefore, it is advisable that you keep a humidifier that will help to maintain the<\/a> humidity levels inside the home. Your nasal passages will get the required moisture to naturally get rid of any allergens that you may have probably breathed in. Thus, you can stay healthy and free from the allergies. I think it is one of the best ways to keep your home allergy proof in winter. <\/p>\n\n\n\nUse air purifying house plants<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nYou know that plants have the ability to purify\nthe air and when there are household plants that not just purify indoor air,\nbut also enhances the beauty of your interior space then you must take full\nadvantage of such indoor plants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have already written a post on air purifying house plants<\/a> and explained things in details. Just refer to that and choose your favorite indoor house<\/a> plants and keep it in your home to get rid of the most common allergens. <\/p>\n\n\n\nTake care of the pets<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nIf you have pets at home, you have a higher risk\nof having lot of allergens inside your home. So you may consider the option of\nmaking a separate and new home for your pet. But, if you are too attached to\nyour pet and want him\/her to be around you all the time, you should take up the\nresponsibility to keep him\/her clean. Bathing your pet at least once a week\nwill help you remove the foul odor and keep them free of the germs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
See, keeping your home clean all the time when pets are around is not easy but definitely not impossible. I have already written a post on how to take care of pets at home<\/a>. If you want you may refer to it to get some ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\nClean the bathrooms<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\nBathroom is certainly one of the most prominent\nspaces in the home which contains a lot of germs and thus, keeping it unclean\nmight lead to the spread of the germs and allergens and make everyone in the\nhome fall sick.

In\norder to do that, you may even take down the wallpaper to create an environment\nthat is less favorable to the growth of the molds. The shower curtains must\nalso be washed and replaced on a monthly basis to avoid the growth of molds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have a backsplash to prevent water from seeping in the walls, make sure you clean it frequently otherwise mold and mildew may grow up there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to all of these, do not miss out\ncleaning the space underneath the refrigerator as that often gets neglected and\nbecomes the favorite breeding ground for the mold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
