Now that the spring season is here, allergens are coming back in full force, and the best way to fight back against allergies is by keeping your home clean. But are you cleaning your home in the best way to combat those allergy symptoms? Some cleaning methods may only make the allergies worse than they were in the unclean environment. Let’s talk about what to do and what not to do when you’re worried about allergies.

The Downsides of Chemical Cleaners

Store-bought chemical cleaners are perhaps the most widely used method of disinfecting surfaces in the home. But are they effective? Yes and no. Generally, chemical cleaners get the job done at disinfecting most of a surface, but they still don’t fully clean it, and worst of all, they could be aggravating allergy symptoms of people living in the home. Many of these chemical cleaners contain substances that are harsh on the lungs, particularly to people who already suffer from respiratory issues.

A Better Method: Steam Cleaning

If you’re looking for the allergy-safe choice, look no further than steam cleaners. Since steam cleaners use only heat and water to disinfect surfaces, they don’t have the potentially harmful side effects of chemical cleaners. They won’t aggravate any allergy symptoms, and they’re great at removing mold, bacteria, dirt and harmful viruses in a safe, healthy way. They can also remove dust mites and pet dander, further easing allergy symptoms. We can clean your rugs with expert rug cleaning professionals.
