While you’re busy cleaning this season, you could also be busy sneezing. Spring is another heightened allergy season. Discover the places in your home that could be holding hidden culprits and making conditions worse. Then learn how to help by spring cleaning allergens away.

Hidden Allergen in Your Home

It may be obvious why you’re sneezing outside among the budding trees and rising pollen. It’s not always clear what the stressor is indoors. Here are some of the areas that could be harboring allergy attackers.

• Bedding: Dust mites, pet dander, and pollen can all cling to your linens and mattress. There are certain covers to help combat accumulation, but you should also wash your bedding once a week in hot water and vacuum your mattress. Be sure to shower before getting into bed if you’ve spent time outside.
• Carpet: You can also transfer dust mites, pet dander, and pollen inside on your shoes. Vacuuming regularly can help remove some of these allergens, but it’s also important to deep clean your carpets every six months to a year.
• Curtains: Like bedding and carpeting, curtains can accumulate dust mites and other allergens. Check the tag to see how you can clean them once a month. Also, consider leaving the windows closed so pollen doesn’t come in on a breeze and cling to the fabric.
• Couch: Indoor and outdoor allergy aggravators can easily get trapped on your cushions. Use an upholstery attachment to vacuum the area, and also consider having it professionally cleaned once a year.

With all the sneezing and nose-blowing going on, you may also want to disinfect the surfaces around your home to stop the spread of other germs.
