As trees bloom and flowers burst open across Princeton, allergy sufferers know the struggle all too well. Pollen, dust, and mold can creep into your home and aggravate your symptoms. This Sunday, focus your spring cleaning efforts on allergy-proofing your space for a healthier, more comfortable season.
1. Tackle Dust Like a Pro
Dust is one of the most common indoor allergens. Use a damp microfiber cloth to wipe down surfaces instead of dry dusting, which spreads particles into the air. Pay special attention to:
- Blinds and curtains (wash or vacuum them)
- Shelves and décor
- Electronics and baseboards
Don’t forget under furniture where dust bunnies love to hide!
2. Refresh Bedding and Upholstery
Wash all bed linens, pillow covers, and mattress protectors in hot water. If your pillows are machine-washable, give them a good rinse, too. Vacuum your mattress and upholstered furniture using a HEPA-filter vacuum to trap allergens—not just redistribute them.
3. Improve Air Quality
Replace HVAC and air purifier filters. Consider placing allergen-reducing filters in bedroom vents. Keep windows closed on high-pollen days and use an air purifier in main living spaces for maximum effect.
4. Say Goodbye to Mold
Spring moisture can lead to mold in bathrooms, basements, and kitchens. Use vinegar or a mold-killing cleaner on tiles, grout, and around faucets. Ensure proper ventilation during and after showers, and consider using a dehumidifier in damp spaces.
Bonus Tip: Wipe pets down with a damp cloth after walks to reduce pollen tracked inside.
